Pawmetto Lifeline - Formerly Project Pet
Giving Pets a New Leash on Life
Yes, Pawmetto Lifeline is indeed the organization formerly known as Project Pet.
Why did we change the name? To clarify for the entire community just what makes our mission and services unique. Project Pet is an identity that we will continue to cherish. Under that banner we have been the conscience of compassion for the Midlands community and a vital area resource for humane care for abandoned and homeless animals. It was perfect for our formative years. But now it does not say enough about not only who we are and what we have done, but more importantly, what we will be doing in the future. The operative word is Lifeline, because that is what we offer to companion animals whose futures would otherwise be without hope.

Project Pet breaks ground on new no-kill center, becomes Pawmetto Lifeline
COLUMBIA, S.C. - "Let's do this!" cried Austin Meyer, and he pounced upon the unbroken ground with his shovel, eager to get the new shelter that will bear his name built. Mr. Meyer, who along with his wife Lane gave $1.5 million to make Project Pet's dream of a no-kill facility for rescuing, spaying and neutering, and finding homes for homeless dogs and cats, is a get-it-done kind of guy. And Project Pet, which on the day of the ground-breaking changed its name to Pawmetto Lifeline to more directly state its mission, is a get-it-done kind of organization.
