Adult Cat Adoption Fees Reduced!

We are reducing the adoption fees indefinitely for adult cats, one-year and older, to $15! All cats adopted from the Animal Shelter are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, feline leukemia-tested, and microchipped.

The Sunshine House Paid the Shelter Animals a Visit

Twenty-eight children from The Sunshine House paid the shelter animals a visit and, as you can see, had a wonderful time!

Thank you to the Sunshine House staff and children for making our Monday so much fun!

South Carolina Festival of Discovery

We’re very excited for the Festival of Discovery celebration this week. The Humane Society of Greenwood is encouraging attendees to leave their dogs at home to avoid the very real risk of their over-heating and burning foot pads.

The devoted mothers of the sweet little ones often accompany their offspring. With the increase in animals comes an increase in costs.

He’ll fetch and return a hundred times, and if his furrowed brow looks worried it’s only because he’s afraid you’ll ask him to share his squeaky toy — it’s the only thing this 7-month-old Jack Russell/Shar-pei mix won’t give; his boyish heart and playful devotion are yours for the asking. Arnie’s the darling of the play yard —

Fourth of July Safety Tips

For many people, nothing beats lounging in the backyard on the Fourth of July with good friends and family—including the four-legged members of the household. While it may seem like a great idea to reward Rover with scraps from the grill and bring him along to watch fireworks, in reality some festive foods and products can be potentially hazardous to your pets.
