The Humane Society of Greenwood Has Dogs of Every Type, Size, Age and Personality Waiting for Loving Homes

The Humane Society of Greenwood is celebrating the American Humane Association’s national Adopt-A-Dog Month this October. They are asking prospective pet owners the question: What can an adopted dog bring to your life?

“There are as many responses to that question as there are dogs in this world,” said Karen Pettay, Executive Director. “Whether you want an exercise buddy, a best friend for your child, a partner in agility competitions, a constant companion for an aging parent or simply a fuzzy face to greet you after a hard day at work, an adopted dog can be all of these – and more. Adopt- A-Dog Month is the perfect time for people to adopt a shelter dog and experience the joy of finding their own answers.”

During the month of October, dog adoption fees are reduced to $75. (Senior and “special needs” dogs are $50.) All dogs are vetted: spayed/neutered, vaccinated, HTWM negative, dewormed, and microchipped.

The Humane Society of Greenwood has dogs of every type, size, age and personality waiting for loving homes. Visit the Adoption Center during October at 2820 Airport Rd, Greenwood, SC, or their website at gwdhumanesociety.org to find out what a shelter dog can bring to your life during Adopt-A-Dog Month! The Center’s hours of operation are Monday through Saturday, 10a to 5p, and can be contacted at (864) 223-2498 or adoption@gwdhumanesociety.org.
