Low Cost Spay and Neuter Program

Oconee Regional Humane Society, a no kill, non profit, 501(3)c shelter was started 20 years ago.  We rescue cats and dogs from local animal shelters, surrenders etc.  We are dedicated to bringing people and adoptable animals together for lifelong relationships through rescue and adoption.  We are committed to reducing animal over population in our community through public outreach and low/no cost spay/neuter programs.

We are in a small town, Greensboro, in the middle of Georgia.  Most of the dogs we rescue are not spayed or neutered.  We have rescued dogs or cats found in drainage pipes, dumpsters, unwanted Christmas gifts, from abusive situations and much much more.  We live in an interesting golf retired community that has fair share of wealthy people and a very good share of low income families.  Many of these families have pets. Every month we distribute approximately 1200 pounds of dog and cat food to these families. We make bags of 3 

pound dog and 2.5 pounds of cat food. This food distribution program has been very successful.  We also offer extremely low cost spay and neutering to these families. We would like to do more with the funding we receive.  Dog simple surgery costs $105 and cat simple surgery cost $95. They pay $20 and Oconee Regional Humane Society pays the rest.  Money raised from this funding would go towards this program. We would like expand this to more families in need.

Some of the dogs we rescued have become therapy dogs.  That just warms our heart.

Our organization is run 97.5% by volunteers.  Our dogs are socialized before being adopted. Our organization is very particular on who adopts our animals.  We do a good check on the adopters before letting our animals go. And stand by our animals, even if the adopter has to return them after five years.  We have many great stories of some of the dogs and cats we rescued.

We are a great organization,  run well on donations and fund raisers.  Visit us at www.orhspets.org
