Scotland County Humane Society Inc

Scotland county humane society facilitated the adoption, rescue, and reclaim of hundreds of canines and felines. Animals that are deemed adoptable (no obvious severe medical or behavioral issues) are photographed and promoted through our website, facebook page, petfinder.com, petango.com and through adoption events at local venues. The director handles the events and oversees the volunteers who assist with it. The humane society further promotes our animals by working with reputable 501(c)(3) rescue groups who pull our our animals into their program to adopt them out. This helps tremendously in keeping space open in the shelter and eliminates the need to euthanize as many adoptable animals solely due to space constraints.

At schs all animals are spayed/neutered as well as rabies vacinated and microchipped prior to going to their adoptive homes. In rare situations, however, the animal may be too young to be spayed/neutered and the adopter is given a voucher that will cover the cost of spay/neuter. Additionally the nc low income spay/neuter program is facilitated by schs for scotland county residents by handling the administration portion of the program. Qualifing residents complete applications at the shelter and are issued a voucher to get their animals fixed at one of the local vet offices. Schs pays the vet clinics directly and submits their costs through the county to the state. Anyone who does not qualify for the state program but still needs assistance, schs refers to scotland county animal advocates.
