Oconee Humane Society

Animal shelter in Seneca, SC

The Oconee Humane Society addresses animal welfare issues in Oconee County, South Carolina. Our mission is to prevent cruelty to animals by helping provide shelter for unwanted animals, developing educational programs for responsible pet ownership, conducting spay and neuter programs, placing adoptable animals in humane environments, advocating for the humane treatment of all animals, and supporting animal welfare issues.

Our goal is to assist with controlling pet overpopulation in Oconee County by encouraging the purchase of spay and neuter certificates and being an advocate for the humane treatment of animals.

Both the Oconee County Sheriff's Department Animal Control Unit and the Oconee Humane Society are based at the Oconee Animal Shelter. Animal Control has the responsibility for overseeing the operations at the shelter, including vaccinating and caring for the animals. They respond to animal issues and complaints in the community. The Oconee Humane Society is responsible for the adoption and spay & neuter certificate programs.
