Greenville County Animal Care is dedicated to promoting the compassionate treatment of animals in our community through adoption, education, and affordable spay/neuter and veterinary care. We have the largest, most diverse selection of adoptable pets in the Upstate, and our innovative programs and partnerships continue to strengthen our no-kill community for animals. 2025 Year End Report

1. We're more than a shelter—we're a public service.
   As a Greenville County department, we provide animal care, animal control, cruelty investigations, lost pet services, community support, and lifesaving programs that benefit both people and pets.
   
2. We never pick and choose who we help.
   Being an open-admission shelter means we're here for every animal. To make sure every pet receives safe, humane care, we work together with our community to manage non-emergency intake whenever possible and keep our shelter operating within its capacity for care.
   
3. Keeping pets with their families is part of our mission.
   Sometimes the best outcome isn't adoption—it's helping people keep the pets they already love.
   
4. We're your county's animal protection agency.
   Animal Care includes Animal Control, cruelty investigations, public safety response, and ordinance enforcement.
5. Thousands of lives are changed here every year.
   Through reunions, adoptions, foster homes, rescue partnerships, and community programs, we help thousands of animals and families annually.

Greenville County Animal Care reports our statistics on our website because we feel that transparency is an important part of being a public agency. If you have more questions, please email petpr@greenvillecounty.org.
