The Humane Society of Greenwood is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit animal welfare agency comprised of staff and volunteers. The HSOG is not funded by the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), ASPCA, or any other national animal welfare agency. The HSOG is supported by donations and funding from Greenwood County to manage the Greenwood County Animal Shelter. Under contract with Greenwood County, the Humane Society of Greenwood’s animal care professionals operate the Greenwood County Animal Shelter, the safety net for any lost, abandoned, or relinquished companion animal in Greenwood County. HSOG staff promote adoptions of shelter animals at the Adoption Center and at off-site adoption events, as well as work strategically with out-of-area rescue groups who adopt animals from the Shelter and re-home in areas outside Greenwood. We are transport partners with Spartanburg’s Animal Allies Low-Cost Spay/Neuter clinic. Our Spay/Neuter Program location at 2820 Airport Rd. is a pick-up point for transport from Animal Allies so area pet owners can take advantage of the low-cost services. Preventing unwanted litters is the most effective way of reducing euthanasia at the animal shelter. We coordinate and participate in community outreach through: 1) presentations to schools and civic organizations, 2) media (HSOG website, Facebook, local news outlets, radio), and 3) fund raising events.

Mission: Working in partnership with our community to educate, cultivate, and facilitate the compassionate care and treatment of animals.

Petey One look at Petey, and you have a complete overview of his personality. He truly is as silly and fun-loving as his comical expression and big bat-like ears would indicate. Since he’s just a little over a year old, you can expect a ton of energy, which he enjoys wearing off by chasing after t...

Handsome Draco is Looking for a Home

Meet Draco, the handsome 7-year-old retriever mix. Seniors are the best! ALSO, DRACO'S ADOPTION FEE IS FULLY SPONSORED!!

From his foster mom: "He doesn’t jump or lick much. Has been great with the kids. Likes to play and take walks. Still needs work on proper leash walking. Reactive to dogs and cats but always wagging his tail so I think he wants to play, but he does bark and have a high prey drive. Knows sit and fetch. He’s a big baby."

Draco is currently in a foster home, so if you would like to meet him, please call 223-2498 to set up a meet and greet.

02/12/2020

How about a couple adoption updates to make your day better?

#1 Arya (dog): "Arya wants to tell you all Happy Valentine's Day. She is spoiled rotten. She loves car rides, and she still loves tearing up tennis balls. She brings us so much happiness, and we want to thank you again for letting us adopt her!!"

#2 Elle (kitty): "Thank you all so much for Elle, The Princess. She is making herself at home and finding her way around the house. Lily and Prissy are a little confused but aren't bothering her. She has climbed to the second level of her cat tower. I was afraid she would fall, but she hasn't . We are enjoying her so much. She was meant for us. Thank you again."

02/12/2020

There are so many kids out there with such great hearts! Thank you, Olivia Ashley, for collecting and donating these blankets. The animals will LOVE them!

If you are looking for a well mannered, adorable, larger 4 legged companion then you may love Mama. She knows basic commands like sit and lay. She seems to like other dogs that are also calm and know how to stay in their own space (high energy dogs are not so much for her). She is completely house broken and only chews on her toys. She loves hiking and will even jog beside you while you ride your bike. Mama is in a foster home but she is looking for her forever home!

Buddy It’s the month of love, and what better way to fill your heart (and home) with happiness than by adding a sweet, funny, affectionate pooch. And believe us when we say Buddy fits the bill. This handsome little devil is just over a year old, so essentially still a puppy, full of playful energy...

02/08/2020

Look who is at PetSmart until 4pm today! Blackjak, Mama and Buddy!

02/05/2020

Our apologies for the pause in adoption updates, but hopefully, we're back on track! Here are several we think you'll enjoy!

#1: Croissant (brindle puppy): "Croissant is loving his new home!! His new name is Rocky!"

#2: Zoey (long-haired gray kitty): "Wanted to let you know how Zoey is doing !! We love her so much !! Such a loving and playful kitty !! We have spoiled her with stuffed Rats with catnip !! She plays with them all day and night !! She will bring one to bed with US !! So glad we were able to give her a good Forever Home !!"

#3: Chloe (calico kitty): "Chloe renamed Lovey"

#4: Vincent (tan and white dog): "It's been one year since we adopted Vincent (formerly Wallace). The once scared mistrustful fella has become such a loving happy fella. He walks well on leash and happily explores his world, barely leaving a tuft of grass unsmelled and unmarked. LOL. We can't let him run free because of some free-range dogs in the neighborhood, but he plays a mean game of fetch inside with us and with himself."

02/05/2020

We had 3 adorable adoptions yesterday! Conway (little Chihuahua puppy), Creamsicle (our Pet of the Week kitty!), and wait for it, wait for it...Layla!!!!! Yes, that is the sweet, ever-loved Layla being adopted by her new dad, who was at least as excited as we were! Thank you to everyone!

02/04/2020

We want to send out ANOTHER big thank you to Chip and Kristi Rush for donating this table full of pet supplies from their newly acquired business, Hobby and Garden Center! Thank you for thinking of us!

01/29/2020

We had 6 adoptions over the last two days. Unfortunately, we weren't able to get a lot of pictures. But here are a couple adorable ones. Thank you to everyone who has chosen to add a new furry family member to their homes!

Those pictured are Panini and Penny (our Pet of the Week!). Also adopted were dogs Vanessa, Ruby, and Judd (now Hercules), and kitty Chowder.

01/28/2020

Everyone meet Batilda. She has been looking for her forever home since October and would love to meet you! Batilda can be dog selective at times, so it would be best to be an only dog household. Whether it be a forever home, or just a temporary one, getting out of the shelter would make her a very happy girl ❤️

01/27/2020

We are desperately looking for a foster for Jack. He's a great dog who was outdoors all his life and just isn't doing good in a kennel setting. We have been working with him everyday to try and get him comfortable, but he needs a temporary home out of the shelter to fully get to his amazing potential. We are looking for a home that will allow him to be outside, but to also get the hands on attention that he needs.Preferably a house with no children, as it may be too much for him at this time.

Dalton Are you a sucker for a hound? Do you love that boundless energy, sweet but goofy disposition, and tendency to find joy in every situation? If so, you need to meet Dalton. This dashing fellow is right around a year old, so he’s basically a big puppy – about 50 pounds of silly,

01/25/2020

Here a special adoption update for you. Do you remember Sadie, the dog found at the Greenwood State Park back in August?

"Wanted to send an update on Sadie, the Greenwood State Park baby. She has given us a wild time since we got her. She got loose, ran off and went to Lake Murray. A family took care of her until they could pet her and took her and had her chip scanned and returned her to us. She is now the spoiled inside baby we wanted her to be. She loves her toys, our two other dogs and loves our grandchildren. She has so much personality and we love her!"

01/25/2020

We had 4 adoptions today: Alfie (cat at PetSmart - not pictured), Dalton (red hound), Gabby (little cutie with the boy), and STELLA! Yes, Stella went to a new home with a lovely young couple! And we forgot to post one from last week. Oops! Sorry, Maverick (blue healer mix), we are delighted for you as well!

01/25/2020

UPDATE: Stella got adopted!!!

***UPDATE ALL LAB PUPS HAVE BEEN ADOPTED**** Come pick you up a cute lab/retriever pup! They just came in and need to find their forever home ❤️

Handsome boy Moses got out for a little exercise and showed his true personality! He’s just a cute ball of fun and is looking for his forever yard to play in ❤️🐾

This is our general section of our facility and it is completely full along with our HSOG dog adoption side. We are at max Capacity and need fosters or adoptions! Please help us find our lovely dogs their forever homes or even temporary ones ❤️

*****THEY HAVE ALL BEEN ADOPTED**** We are at full capacity and just got in a mama and 5 pups. Anyone who wants to foster, or adopt, please come in today and help find everyone’s forever home!

This environment can be stressful for the animals, so part of our enrichment program is music. It helps them cope with the housing conditions and promote relaxation and calm behavior. As you can see it works, and we have put Echo Dots in each animal section in our facility. If the animals don’t respond well we change the playlist and these sweet pups happen to love country. Everyday we strive to do our best, and to make their lives as happy and healthy as we can.

UPDATE: She is being picked up by her owners right now and will be going back to the vet this afternoon to get the medical care she needs. We’re urgently searching for the owner of this adult female yellow lab, wearing a teal collar, who arrived injured this morning from the area of State St. in Ninety-Six, SC., along with a male black lab. If you own or have information on the owner of these dogs, please comment, message here on Facebook, or call ASAP 223-2498.

UPDATED: Aspen has been adopted! Success! Welcome back, Aspen. This sweet cat came back today on a foster return. Let’s make her stay in the shelter as short as possible. Adopt today! We’re open until 5pm! 2820 Airport Rd, Greenwood S.C.

UPDATE: Little Foot has been adopted!!! Little Foot is available for adoption. He is currently residing in one of our outdoor feral pens, but is too friendly to be released on our property. He would make a great outdoor mouser for someone else’s property! Come to the facility Tues-Sat 12p-5p to inquire about Little Foot.

Mango is a domestic medium hair orange/white 15 week old cutie! Loves to play and just made his way to petsmart so head on over there and help him find his forever home ❤️

Everyone meet Ducky! This goofball is a one year old mixed breed. She has the most adorable floppy ears and the best personality! She loves to play and loves treats, so come on down and spoil her with some love!

Pinky!

Pinky will make you feel like everyday is summer and full of fun! She is a hyper ball of energy and is waiting for an exciting car ride to her forever home.

UPDATE: Apollo has been adopted!!!! We shared his handsome photos, so why not spoil you all with a video! Come on down and show this handsome fella some love. I have a good guess that Apollo probably loves car rides, so why not find out on your way to his forever home 😍❤️ 😍

Boxes of Dog Food at Post Office for HSOG!

There are 119 boxes of dog food at the Post Office that were ordered by supporters! Thank you all SO much! The number of people who drove to the shelter to drop off dog food and those who arranged for thousands of pounds to be delivered to us is unprecedented. There is good in our world!

Buster (formerly Chester)

ADOPTION STORY UPDATE: It's really just a short, fun video of Chester, the Hound. His daddy writes, "Chester (now known as Buster) is fat and happy. He is crazy gentle with other animals even if they aren’t to him. We will probably be looking for a buddy for him soon."

UPDATE: They, along with others, left for foster homes today! Fostering saves lives!! Good afternoon! We are in need of someone willing to foster these 2 small kittens until they are big enough to come back to our adoption center. They were dropped off early this morning at our gate and found by a coworker when coming in for work. They are estimated to be about a month old. They would need to come back for regular processing and boosters until they are able to stay in adoption. If you are interested in fostering these cuties please email me at [email protected] or call me at 864-538-0683.

The lovable Clark

You NEED this dog in your life! You know you do. Don't even try denying it. Please come meet sweet Clark today. This precious 6-month-old hound mix is exactly what you've been waiting for! Tues-Sat, 12p-5p. 2820 Airport Rd. 864-223-2498.

Horace

He's such a smart, handsome boy! Frank Sinatra may have been the original Ol' Blue Eyes, but once you meet Horace, that nickname will bring to mind this handsome canine instead. He's a 2-year-old Catahoula mix with unique coloring - a light and dark brown merle pattern with big splashes of white, especially on his face. And those eyes. You simply can't ignore those amazing ice blue eyes. Horace is a young dog, so he isn't short on energy and would love to be able to take lots of long walks. He especially enjoys the company of people and wants nothing more than to find a new forever home he can call his own. Horace is still available! Come see him Tues-Sat, 12p-5p at 2820 Airport Rd. 864-223-2498.

Chief

Meet Dipstick

This is Dipstick. Dipstick is special. Not only is he adorable with that black spot right on his nose and his black tail, which looks like it's been dipped in oil (hence the name), but he's also FIV+. Don't let that worry you, though. Here are some FIV facts to put your mind at ease! 1. The Feline Immuno-deficiency Virus is a slow virus that affects a cat’s immune system over a period of years. 2. FIV is a CAT-ONLY disease and CANNOT be spread to humans or other non-felines. 3. FIV cats usually live long, healthy, and relatively normal lives with no symptoms at all. 4. FIV is not easily passed between cats. It cannot be spread casually – like in litter boxes, water and food bowls, or when snuggling and playing. It is rarely spread from a mother to her kittens. 5. The virus can be spread through blood transfusions, badly infected gums, or serious, penetrating bite wounds. (Bite wounds of this kind are extremely rare, except in free-roaming, unneutered tomcats.) 6. A neutered cat, in a home, is extremely unlikely to infect other cats, if properly introduced. 7. FIV-positive cats should be kept as healthy as possible. Keep them indoors and free from stress, feed them a high-quality diet, and treat any secondary problems as soon as they arise.

Help Petey Find a Home

Petey got adopted! Petey has been in the shelter for 5 Months! His adoption fee is sponsored! Please share to help him find a home. While alot of the other dogs are jumping up or barking to get attention he sits politely gazing with brown soulful eyes. He hasn't gotten noticed that much because of it but sometimes the best kept secrets are the greatest ones. Petey is an extremely friendly, affectionate and somewhat goofy guy. Easily content lying beside your feet, sitting for a treat or doing his wiggle dance when he gets a good scratching. He tested well with dogs, even a small one but doesn't like cats. He weighs 65 lbs, is 3 years old, tested heartworm negative and is already neutered. Petey just seems like a really loyal, loving dog that has been waiting patiently for his best friend for quite a while. We are so hoping that we can help him find his way to a new family or rescue that can help him. Please contact us if you are interested in Petey.

Our Story

The Humane Society of Greenwood is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit animal welfare agency comprised of staff and volunteers. The HSOG is not funded by the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), ASPCA, or any other national animal welfare agency. The HSOG is supported by donations and funding from Greenwood County to manage the Greenwood County Animal Shelter. Under contract with Greenwood County, the Humane Society of Greenwood’s animal care professionals operate the Greenwood County Animal Shelter, the safety net for any lost, abandoned, or relinquished companion animal in Greenwood County. HSOG staff promote adoptions of shelter animals at the Adoption Center and at off-site adoption events, as well as work strategically with out-of-area rescue groups who adopt animals from the Shelter and re-home in areas outside Greenwood. We are transport partners with Spartanburg’s Animal Allies Low-Cost Spay/Neuter clinic. Our Spay/Neuter Program location at 2820 Airport Road is a pick-up point for transport from Animal Allies so area pet owners can take advantage of the low-cost services. Preventing unwanted litters is the most effective way of reducing euthanasia at the animal shelter. We coordinate and participate in community outreach through: 1) presentations to schools and civic organizations, 2) media (HSOG website, Facebook, local news outlets, radio), and 3) fund raising events.
