Please make sure all communication is done via email to so that we can keep track of all communications.  We do have a phone used for rescue to call during an emergency or when we are away from the office such as transporting. The phone number is 803-465-5726. We respond to rescue inquiries Monday through Friday 8am-5pm (EST) and it is checked regularly.
