Every year, the Greenville Humane Society (GHS) performs nearly 17,000 spay and neuter surgeries and gives more than 88,000 animal vaccinations to help keep countless pets healthy — at an affordable price.

As more pet owners turn to GHS for lower-cost care, demand for these services has surged, with spay and neuter surgeries increasing by 20% since before the pandemic. To keep up with growing needs, GHS requires more space and resources.

That’s why they’ve launched a Capital Campaign to raise $8.5 million for a campus expansion, aimed at:

Addressing pet overpopulation due to veterinary shortages + lack of affordable care
Educating the public about pet care

Of the thousands of spay and neuter surgeries performed annually, 80% are for stray animals from the community. | Rendering provided by McMillan Pazdan Smith

A look into the future

In early 2023, GHS purchased the property next to their current facility. This space will be used to build a new public spay and neuter clinic, along with a multipurpose training and event area.

The proposed 9,260-sqft clinic expansion will allow GHS to:

Perform twice the number of annual surgeries
Provide dedicated space for feral cat surgeries
Increase capacity to perform surgeries for animal shelters across the Southeast

The expansion will also include a 7,950-sqft multipurpose space for public engagement. Think: Dog training classes, humane education, fundraising events, and more.

Thanks to its highly visible location on the new Swamp Rabbit Trail extension, GHS is also exploring partnerships with local businesses for subleasing opportunities within the multipurpose space’s retail bays.
