vikki Interview Date: March 30th, 2022
Animals have shaped VIKKI SCOTT’S life in a profound way. Fueled by a lifelong dedication to saving our four-legged companions, her strongest childhood memories involve her pets, and she can easily identify her own personality traits that evolved out of her relationships with them. As Gandhi once said, “The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” Vikki Scott lives this ideal. She is a trailblazer, an advocate, a natural leader. At Animal Advocates of Barnwell County, she developed a program with a nearby prison that allowed rescue cats and dogs to live with inmates. The nonprofit continues to thrive after 20 years, thanks to her creative and innovative approach. This rescue and adoption agency has given Vikki a chance to pay forward what she has had all her life—the perfect pet for an individual, a child, a family, and the promise that their lives will be enriched just as hers was.
