Newberry County Humane Society's Mission is to save the lives of animals through affordable spay/neuter options, fostering for rescues, supporting TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) of feral cat colonies, and providing the community in need with food, vaccines, and the resources to keep pets in their loving homes.

In 2025 Newberry County Humane Society will celebrate 40 years of caring for community animals. During that time, we have been dedicated to improving conditions at the Newberry County shelter, promoting spay/neuter, and educating the public about caring for animals.

We are not the shelter. The shelter is operated by Newberry County. See "What's the Difference" at the bottom of this page.

Your generous donations have made this possible! Your continued support will ensure that we can continue to care for the animals of our community.

Do you know that the Humane Society and the shelter are two separate entities? In some places, the Humane Society operates the shelter. Not so here in Newberry. We've prepared the chart below to help you understand the differences. We are always glad to take your calls or messages if you aren't quite sure who can best help you.
