What to expect from the adoption process

Visit the Spartanburg Humane Society and get to know an animal who is available for adoption. We have visitation rooms and a fenced area outside where you can spend some time with the animal of your choice.

Complete a short online adoption application(scroll below) or print out our application and bring it with you.  This paperwork includes a few simple questions, and requires proof of identity. This is simply to protect the health of adopted animals as well as any pets you already have at home. You can speed up this process by bringing in records of your pets’ vaccination history.

Have a counseling session with a member of our staff who will explain all the benefits of adopting from the Spartanburg Humane Society. You can ask your counselor any questions about our post adoption veterinary services, and anything else you might wish to know.

Sign an adoption contract and pay the adoption fee, which helps to offset the cost of the services provided to you and your new pet.

Take your new family companion home!

Small animal adoptions

Many people think the Spartanburg Humane Society only handles dogs and cats but that isn’t the case.  In the last two years we have provided shelter and care to over 1,000 animals of other species.

Rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, ferrets, reptiles, birds or even fish — we are here for every animal who needs us.   If you are looking for a pet like this, we hope you will agree that adoption is the only option!

Adoption fees and procedures vary by species, feel free to contact our adoption department if you have a question about adopting one of these animals.

Meet our small and furry animals awaiting adoption.

Large animal adoptions
  • From time to time, large animal and farm animal species, including horses, goats, cows and pigs also need the help of the Spartanburg Humane Society.

    The procedures may be a little different, but the mission is the same — just like dogs, cats, and smaller critters, these animals also deserve a second chance.

    Adoption fees and procedures vary by species, feel free to contact our adoption department if you have a question about adopting one of these animals.

SEARCHING FOR THE
RIGHT PET FOR YOU.

Search All Adoptable Animals

 

The Spartanburg Humane Society is proud to offer a way for potential pet owners to find the dog, cat, rabbit, guinea pig, or bird of their dreams. All of the available Spartanburg Humane Society animals can be searched by species, gender, and age.

 

Our website is updated in real time, which means that as soon as an animal becomes available for adoption, he or she will be visible on the website.  Adopted pets are also removed in real time, ensuring that potential adopters are kept up to date on animals who are in need of a home.

 

Please be sure to scroll up and down to see all of our animals!

 

Remember, you will need some supplies for your new pet. If you are adopting a dog you will need a collar and a leash. If you are adopting a cat or kitten you will need a pet carrier. You can purchase much of what you will need at the Spartanburg Humane Society, and all proceeds benefit the homeless animals in our care.

Thank you for choosing to look for your new pet at the Spartanburg Humane Society!

There are always many wonderful and loving animals available for adoption. Dogs and cats are most common, but small animals, like rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters, are also in need of a new home.

PLEASE NOTE! Submitting an application does NOT gurantee your adoption of that animal. There are many factors including your face-to-face interaction with the animal, that determines the best home for the animal. This application is a way of letting us know you are interested in a particular animal.
