Greenville Humane Society: Survey

We value your input about the direction of the Greenville Humane Society’s future.

The Greenville Humane Society and its Board of Directors are conducting a pre-campaign planning study for a brand new, state-of-the-art expansion of our current facilities. Our primary goal of this study is to obtain your honest feedback and truly understand the needs of pet owners throughout Greenville County.

Following the pandemic, it has become clear that the Greenville community needs our support now more than ever. It’s a true honor that pet owners in Greenville — and beyond — continue to look to the Greenville Humane Society to care for their pets as if they were our own.

In 2022, our talented veterinarians performed 17,000 spay/neuter surgeries with 78% of those surgeries being performed on public animals. This means that the vast majority of surgeries performed at our clinic are on pets in our community. Since the opening of our Medical Center in 2017, the demand for public spays and neuters has increased by 38%. This number and the need for space to facilitate these surgeries continues to grow.

Due to the current veterinarian shortage, pet owners in the state of South Carolina are struggling to find access to affordable and quality spay and neuter resources. We are driven to fill this gap by expanding our operations to meet the public demand while continuing to serve our community.

Additionally, animal shelters continue to be overwhelmed by the amount of homeless adult dogs entering their facilities. The Greenville Humane Society currently partners with 50 different shelters in 10 states to help alleviate this burden, but we are consistently finding ourselves out of space and struggling with limited resources.

Our team has developed a new master plan to meet the unprecedented demand for our high quality, low-cost services. Phased in over the next few years, this project will dramatically expand our spay/neuter services, vaccine clinic, adoptions, humane education, community outreach and foster care program. While we’re excited for everything the future holds, we need your help!

We would love for you to take a few moments to complete the following survey as your feedback is very important to us.
