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. Over the next few years, this project will allow us to drastically expand our ability to offer high-quality, low-cost services through a brand-new Spay and Neuter Clinic, expertly designed to support our community, our state, and beyond. This incredible new facility will allow us to double our impact, and save more lives than ever before. In addition to alleviating the growing pains of our community, we will also be introducing an event pavilion to our master plan, which will allow us to offer dog training, expand our humane education for all ages, and further our community outreach programs. While we’re excited for everything the future holds for the animals in Greenville, we need your help in making it possible!

The Visuals
Expanding our Public Spay and Neuter Clinic
Performing nearly 17,000 spay and neuter surgeries each year, demand continues to grow. In fact, since the opening of our Medical Center in 2017, demand has grown nearly 40% for these services. 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. This new, state-of-the-art Spay and Neuter facility will allow us to meet the incredible demand for low-cost services for not only the public, but also other shelters without these resources readily available.
Supporting the Community with a Flexible Event Space
The Pavilion will be located next to the new Spay and Neuter Clinic, right along the Prisma Health Swamp Rabbit Trail. This multi-use space will host and support the community in many ways including dog training, humane education opportunities, birthday parties and other event rentals, rental space for local retailers, and more! Designed with flexibility and functionality in mind, the Pavilion will offer many benefits to the community, all in support of our homeless pets and the services we provide. With the ability to split the Pavilion event space into two distinct rooms, we are able to double our capacity for events, allowing us to maximize our space and meet the needs of our community.
