Shelter for Animals in Need

The Spartanburg Humane Society offers a second chance for the county's homeless companion animals -- serving about 18,000 pets a year. 

There are many reasons why animals need our help.  No matter what the reason is, no one is ever turned away and every animal is treated with respect and care.

If your dog or cat is missing, don't wait!  Immediately contact the Spartanburg Humane Society's Lost and Found department to complete a lost report, or fill one out online.  

Nobody knows your companion as well as you, so it is always best to visit the shelter to look for your pet.  Visit as often as possible --we receive lost dogs and cats from animal control officers and good Samaritans every day.

You can visit the shelter (map) to search for a missing pet 7 days a week:

Monday - Friday, 8:00 am to 6:00 pm

Adopt your new best friend

We know you have many choices when considering where to get a new pet.  By adopting from the SHS you can find a wonderful companion AND give a deserving pet a second chance! 

Our adoption fees offer an incredible value and, because we strive to be a community animal resource center, you will have access to dog training, our veterinary clinic, pet store, and more. 

In addition to finding animals of all sizes, colors, and breeds (yes!  approximately 25% of shelter dogs are purebred), you will also be able to meet many wonderful personalities.  Whether you are looking for a friend to join you on daily walks, a fellow fan of TIVO, a cat napper, or a kitten who enjoys acrobatics, you will be able to find your match here.  

End of life services for pets

The Spartanburg Humane Society strives to support pet owners at every stage of their companions' lives.  This includes those sad times when euthanasia is necessary to end suffering from illness or age. 

We also offer private and communal cremation.  Pet owners are welcome to inter their pets ashes in our beautiful and peaceful Remembrance Garden.  The SHS provides end of life services that are designed to help pet owners say goodbye to their friends peacefully and respectfully.
