View Comments The lives of hundreds of sick, neglected, abused and/or abandoned animals have been saved through the volunteer efforts of Lauren Hill and Jan Craig Olinger. The women met while volunteering at Greenville County Animal Care years ago. Today, they help shelter animals through "Upstate Foster Link," a Facebook group "to facilitate communication among volunteers, rescuers, and potential pet foster parents." "While there are many people locally who work tirelessly on behalf (of animals) and raise money for these animals (myself included), no two people have taken more of a leadership role than Lauren Hill and Jan Craig-Olinger," Julie Horton said.
