Welcome to the website of the Humane Society of York County in South Carolina. We are very pleased that you have stopped by to see what we're doing and to look at the pets that are available at this time.
The Humane Society of York County (HSYC) was founded in 1976 to help address the needs of an ever-growing animal population. Originally, all animals were cared for in the homes of dedicated volunteers. In 1999 we moved into a modern facility in Fort Mill, South Carolina, with the capacity to house approximately fifty cats and fifty dogs.
The HSYC is a non-profit organization dedicated to the humane treatment of animals. Our mission is to prevent animal suffering, to help reduce overpopulation by promoting spaying and neutering, to educate the public about animal welfare, and to place adoptable animals in loving homes.
The ten-year goal of the HSYC is to have a larger facility, complete with indoor/outdoor runs, an enclosed play area, and other amenities.
We receive no funds from, nor are we connected with, any other animal welfare organizations. Our existence depends entirely on donations of time and money given by caring individuals and businesses in all of York, Chester, and Mecklenburg Counties.
The Humane Society educates people about how to care for the animals, lobbies for tougher animal abuse laws, rescues abused and neglected animals. We then find these animals a family to love.
During 2003, we took in and placed more than 1100 animals, one at a time. All animals are matched to their potential owner's lifestyle and leave healthy and up to date on shots.
We must rely on the community for support. We get no money from the county, state or National Humane Society, so we're having to come up with the money for the new building ourselves.
All donations made to the Humane Society are tax deductible. We are especially looking for corporate sponsorships as well.
For those looking for a new pet, potential pet owners should visit our facility.
We look forward to meeting you!
