💚🍽️ A LITTLE LUNCHTIME LOVE FOR OUR SHELTER TEAM!

A very special THANK YOU to our friend and HSOG board member, Taylor Addams of Carolina Place Animal Hospital, for providing lunch for our staff today as part of National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week!

We’re fortunate to have people in our community who don’t just support our mission, but also take the time to show appreciation for the people behind it.

Shelter work takes a whole lot of heart, and sometimes the simplest gestures can make the busiest days a little brighter. Being thought of and appreciated means more than you know!

Taylor, thank you for treating our team and for everything you do for us at HSOG. We’re so grateful to have you in our corner! 🐾💙💚

An animals love is unconditional. This shouldn’t be their reality. Their view should be inside a home, on a bed, playing with a toy, or eating out of a decorated food bowl. If you’ve been looking for a sign to adopt, this is it. Come see us. Come find the one who’s been waiting for you. 💚💙 We’re open Tuesday-Saturday, 12PM-5PM. 2820 Airport Road, Greenwood, SC. 864.223.2498.

💚🐾 A BIG THANK YOU TO WATERLOO ELEMENTARY BETA CLUB!

We had such a wonderful time spending part of this week with these amazing students! Not only did they come hang out with our shelter pets, but they also showed up with a TON of donations that they worked hard to collect themselves!

Their generosity means so much to us and to the animals who will benefit from their kindness.

During their visit, they got to spend time with Layla (our senior girl who loved the attention!), Pond (the ultimate good time guy), Xena (so fun and playful), Tina (our little handful), and even Tanner, who has since found his forever home! They also got plenty of kitty cuddles with some of our precious feline residents. 🐱

We love seeing young members of our community come together to make a difference. Thank you, Waterloo Elementary Beta Club, for thinking of our shelter, spending time with our animals, and showing us what kindness looks like!

You made our week! 💚💙🐶

💔 ELEVEN YEARS OLD. TWO MONTHS AT THE SHELTER. STILL WAITING.

We really thought someone would have scooped up our sweet Layla by now. 😭

At 11 years old, Layla is our resident senior, and she’s had more changes in her life than any dog should have to experience.

Her first owner passed away, bringing her to us. She was eventually adopted, but two years later, through no fault of her own, Layla found herself back at our shelter. She’s now been here for two months, and somehow, nobody has come looking for her.

And honestly? Layla is about as easygoing as they come.

She’s not asking for endless adventures or a packed daily schedule. She’s perfectly happy finding a nice, comfortable spot to stretch out and enjoy the day. She’s friendly with everyone she meets, including children, and would love nothing more than to spend her golden years being someone’s beloved companion.

Senior dogs deserve families, too. They deserve soft beds, familiar faces, warm homes, and someone who chooses them for exactly who they are.

Please don’t let Layla spend another season waiting behind a kennel door. She’s had enough goodbyes. It’s time for her to find her forever.

Give our girl Layla the retirement home she’s been dreaming of. 💚💙🐾

💙💚 TWO BROTHERS, ONE FOREVER HOME. 🐾

Meet Calvin and Chester! These precious boys found themselves at the shelter through no fault of their own. Their owner fell on hard times and, despite loving them dearly, was forced to make the difficult decision to surrender them.

It’s clear these boys were loved, and now we’re hoping to find someone who will love them just as much.

Now, we know Calvin might catch your eye first. He’s the little guy, after all! But there’s something important you need to know: Calvin has found his person in Chester. These brothers are bonded, and we aren’t looking to send one home without the other.

Chester deserves his happy ending just as much as his little brother does. We want them to leave this place together, with a family who sees two wonderful dogs instead of just the smaller one.

So if you’ve got room in your heart (and your home) for TWO, please come meet Calvin and Chester. Their next chapter deserves to be written together. 🐶

Come meet them! We’re open Tuesday-Saturday, 12PM-5PM.
2820 Airport Road, Greenwood, SC.

💚🌮 A FULL BELLY AND A WHOLE LOT OF GRATITUDE!

A huge THANK YOU to La Hacienda for treating our staff to lunch today in honor of National Animal Shelter Appreciation Week!

Shelter work is rewarding, but it isn’t always easy. Between the long days, endless to-do lists, messy moments, and countless animals depending on us, a little kindness goes a long way.

Taking the time to feed the people who spend their days caring for animals means more than you know. We’re incredibly grateful for your generosity and for businesses like yours that show up for our shelter community.

Please join us in giving La Hacienda of Greenwood some love! Thank you for making our team’s day a little brighter! 🐾💚

💔 72 DOGS. ONLY 25 ADOPTION RUNS BUT MORE WAITING THAN YOU CAN SEE.

Adoptions have slowed to a crawl, and we’re running out of hope.

Right now, we have 72 dogs available for adoption, but only 25 adoption runs in our adoption area. That means dozens of dogs are staying in our general housing area on our county run side, not because they’re any less deserving of a home, but because we simply don’t have the space to move them into the adoption area.

The video you’re watching features some of those dogs. They’re here. They’re waiting. They’re just not somewhere visitors normally get to see them.

Every one of them deserves the chance to be noticed. To have someone stop at their kennel, fall in love, and decide that they’re the one they’ve been looking for.

We know the holidays are approaching, and there are so many reasons people may be hesitant to bring home a new pet. But somewhere in our building is a dog who would love nothing more than to spend this season in a home instead of a kennel.

Please, if you’ve been thinking about adopting, come meet our dogs. And if you can’t adopt, sharing this video could help the right person find the dog they didn’t even know was waiting for them.

They’re out of sight, but they should never be out of mind. 🐾💙💚

To see all of our available dogs visit our website at gwdhumanesociety.org or come visit us at 2820 Airport Road, Greenwood, SC. Open Tuesday-Saturday, 12PM-5PM.
