Oconee Regional Humane Society

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.

A Fun Fundraising Opportunity

Featured Dog:  Bosco

Hi - I'm Bosco!  I am a very sweet, calm and quiet 2-year-old Dachshund/Basset Hound Mix.  I love to play with my toys and take long naps on the couch in my foster home.  I am friendly with other dogs, but I would prefer to snuggle with my foster mommy.  I promise to be the best companion ever and very loyal to my friends.

Featured Cat:  Minnie

Minnie came to ORHS from a local animal control after her previous owners were unable to continue caring for her.  Minnie is very sweet and loving, but she can be a little shy.  She absolutely loves receiving attention from all our volunteers and visitors at the center.  She would be very happy sitting on your lap while you binge-watch your favorite TV shows or movies.  Minnie would be a great companion for any family.

About Our Shelter

ORHS works to end animal overpopulation and disease through an aggressive spay/neuter program for the pets of low-income residents in our community.  We know of no other community spay/neuter program that offers NO-COST surgeries for the pets of needy residents.

We help needy families feed and care for their pets, serve as advocates for animals and their people, and educate the public about compassion and responsibility toward all animals.

Our adoption center is a no-kill facility where all incoming animals accepted are evaluated, medically treated and rehabilitated when needed. ORHS is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that does not receive any government funding and relies on the goodwill and generosity of individuals and corporations.
