  How We Began...
It was Labor Day 2005 when Richard and Sue Daniels from Waynesboro, Burke County, GA set off on a camping trip to Modoc, SC in their RV. Little did they know they would meet a friend for life in the form of an old black dog. When Richard and Sue first met Old Fella, he was a stray roaming around for scraps of food at their campsite. Many travelers had fed Old Fella during the five years he had been there, but it was Richard who could not get the harrowing image of this miserable animal out of his mind. Click here to read more>>

  We might not make a difference for ALL animals,
but we will make ALL the difference for some.

Foster
Homes


Old Fella cats and dogs are living in our homes. Foster parents allow our orphans to become part of their families until a forever family is found. Our animals are usually socialized with dogs, cats, and children, depending on the foster home. When you adopt an Old Fella, our foster parents will be able to tell you about your new pet's personality so that you will know what to expect.
Basic
Obedience Training


Not only are Old Fella dogs crate trained; but, by the time they are adopted, they have started basic obedience training. This includes walking on a leash, "sit", "down", and "stay". They are also being socialized with other dogs. All of this helps the new family and our little orphans. Our basic obedience classes are open to all adopters, at no charge.

Being Part
of the Solution


Old Fella Burke County Animal Rescue exists to improve the lives of needy companion animals by rescuing the ones in need, providing spay and neuter surgeries to prevent litters of the unwanted, and by educating the community about responsible pet ownership. Whether you adopt, volunteer or donate, you are saving lives and making Burke County a better place to live for both people and pets.
