Foothills Humane Society

The Foothills Humane Society animal shelter cares for stray, abandoned and homeless animals in Polk County, NC and upstate SC. www.foothillshumanesociety.org

Our Mission is to shelter and care for stray and surrendered companion animals within our community; Prevent cruelty to animals; Reunite lost animals with their owners, adopt animals to qualified homes or place them with reputable rescue organizations; and Educate the public about responsible animal ownership and population control.

Dont' t Shop - ADOPT!
You will be “part of the solution,” preventing future unwanted animals and reducing the tragedy of homeless pets. Adopting from FHS reduces demand and the over- breeding of pets by breeders and puppy mills.

Our Adoption Consultants help you select the right pet for your lifestyle to ensure a lifetime of love and companionship! We also provide help and support as you welcome your new pet into your home including on-site training classes.
