Companion for LIFE
Adoption
*Must be 18 years or older to adopt*
Adopting a pet is a big responsibility. Your new fur baby will bring endless joy to your life, but with that joy comes new demands. Consider your lifestyle. Are you prepared to invest the time and resources necessary to care for your pet? Do you have the space at home to accommodate a pet?
Don’t start this journey unprepared. There are lots of resources out there to make pet parenthood easier—be sure you do your research first! Once you know you’re ready, take the first step in our adoption process.
Step 1: Fill out an application
We like to learn about you and your home situation to get an idea of which pet might be a good fit for your lifestyle. You’ll need to fill out a preliminary Adoption Application in order to proceed with the adoption process. Please print it, fill it out, and bring it to the Humane Society when you visit!
Step 2: Visit our adoptable pets
Once you’ve filled out your application, we invite you to come visit with our adoptable pets at our Adoption Center. All adoptions are performed on a first-come, first-interviewed basis. We will not schedule reservations for specific animals or place any animal on hold.
Note: The Greenville Humane Society adopts to those both in-state and out-of-state, however, we do require all adopters are physically present for the adoption process.
Step 3: Bond with an animal
After you meet a pet you adore, we encourage you to spend at least 15 – 30 minutes with him/her in one of our bonding rooms. During your time in the bonding room, one of our Adoption Counselors will answer any questions you have about the animal or the adoption process
Step 4: Complete adoption paperwork & payment
By now, the cutie you’ve had your eye on has surely won you over. Once you’re ready to move forward, an Adoption Counselor will walk you through the additional adoption paperwork, which includes the Adoption Contract and the animal’s medical paperwork.
Step 5: Bring home your best friend!
The official adoption process might be over, but your pet’s new life has just begun! We do have a few important requirements to make sure your pet is safe and healthy after being adopted:
- All animals are required to leave our facility on a collar and leash or in a carrier. If you have these items already, you can bring them with you. You can also purchase them at our retail center during the adoption.
- You are required to purchase at least one dose of flea/tick/heartworm preventative for puppies/dogs.
- You are required to take your adopted animal to visit a licensed veterinarian within 15 days of adopting.
Any adoption fee paid for an adopted pet is a donation and goes back to the care of the animals. Our adoption fees vary based on species, age, breed and demand. Please keep in mind any adoption fees listed below are subject to change. As a private nonprofit, we do not receive funding from the government to provide for the animals in our care./
Fees include:
- Your pet’s spay/neuter surgery
- Microchipping
- All vaccinations
- Deworming
- Preventative medications
- Any medical treatment it may have received in our care

Spay and Neuter
Excellent Care at an Affordable Price
Our team of seven licensed veterinarians and ten highly trained assistants is committed to providing the best possible care so that your pet’s spay/neuter experience involves minimal discomfort and a quick recovery. We treat each pet who visits our state-of-the-art Medical Center as if they were our own.
We perform more than 16,000 spay and neuter surgeries each year. Unlike a private practice vet office, which may perform a handful per day, we can spay/neuter 50–80 pets (or more!) five days a week.
We use the same sterile instruments, licensed veterinarians, and anesthetic protocols that you would expect from your family veterinarian.
