Welcome to the
Spartanburg Humane Society
Serving Spartanburg County Since 1964. We offer a variety of programs and services for both pets and pet owners. Our mission remains focused on providing excellent shelter and care to homeless animals in need, the Spartanburg Humane Society has evolved to develop proactive strategies aimed at combating the root causes of substandard animal care and thousands of unwanted animals.
The Spartanburg Humane Society is located at 150 Dexter Road in Spartanburg, SC. In 1964, a group of concerned citizens led by Mary Frances Grimes incorporated the Spartanburg Animal Welfare League (SAWL) to provide a humane method for managing the homeless animal population. Today, the vision of Mrs. Grimes and the original board of directors is reflected in the pivotal increase in the “live release” rate and the reduction in the length of stay for each animal.

A little about us.
How can you help?
True to our mission statement, there are both reactive and proactive sides to the work we do at the Spartanburg Humane Society. We respond to the needs of each and every animal who comes through our doors, while also working to keep pets and their people together through our community programs.
Help us spread the word about the many affordable and life-saving programs the SHS offers our community. As more people utilize our services, fewer animals will come to us in need of shelter.
