Oconee Humane Society

Community outreach program - we know the best option for any pet is to remain in a loving, caring home. Increasing animal welfare across our County reduces shelter intake. Our goal is to improve the lives of pets with programs like the food bank and vaccine and microchip clinics. We are also dedicated to expanding pet care knowledge throughout our community with Humane education programs in school, organizations and at events.

Spay/neuter program Oconee Humane Society staff pioneered a low-cost spay/neuter program available to every County resident to help combat pet overpopulation. Coordinating with local veterinarians we are able to offer vouchers to the public for dog or cat spay/neuter surgery at about half the regular price. Additionally, when donations allow we offer deeper discounted vouchers to widen our reach across socio-economic classes. To further our progress in this area, we opened a spay/neuter clinic on the site of the current County shelter. This provides another avenue for financially challenged residents to be part of the solution to our pet overpopulation problem.

Animal welfare program-oconee Humane Society staff and volunteers work tirelessly to get an average of 2000 abandoned dogs and cats out of the County animal shelter and into loving homes. Knowing that every life is worth saving, we dedicate our time to treating,nurturing,training and marketing and matching dogs and cats with people that can provide a home where the animals can flourish. Numerous generous grants and donations allow the Society to provide vital medical care at our clinics.

We work with pre-vetted rescue groups to find additional adoption opportunities in regions with less pet overpopulation.
