The Laurens County HSPCA offers low cost spay/neuter services in conjunction with Animal Allies of Spartanburg. At least once a month (schedule will be announced) , an Animal Allies van will pick up pets with appointments from Clinton Animal Hospital's parking lot at 6:45 am to transport them to Spartanburg. The van will return the pets on the same day at 5:45 PM to the same location.

All animals must have rabies and other required vaccinations. If they have not had required shots, Animal Allies will administer these for $15. The cost of the spay/neutering per animal is as follows: male dog, $57; female dog, $62; dog over 75 lbs, $77; male cat, $32; female cat, $47; feral cat, $45 (this charge includes shots and ear tipping for feral cats only). There is no extra fee for an animal that is in heat or pregnant.

Appointments are necessary and may be made by calling LCSCHSPCA at 984-6484. Speaking clearly, leave you name and telephone number, give the number or cats and dogs you wish to have spayed or neutered, and a convenient time to call you back. Animal Allies will return your call to make the appointment and complete the paperwork. DO NOT CALL CLINTON ANIMAL HOSPITAL about this service as they are not involved with the specifics of the program.

If people with limited income (i.e. on Medicaid, with EBT card, on Social Security Disability, or dependent on Social Security for retirement income) need help in paying the fee to Animal Allies, please Animal Allies about a voucher. One will need to provide proof of limited income to be eligible for voucher assistance.

Laurens County SC Humane Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, formerly known as P.A.W.S. (People for Animal Welfare and Safety), operates from Laurens, South Carolina, and serves Laurens County as a shelterless, humane organization. Our primary functions are to promote pet owner responsibility and to treat the causes of animal suffering through population control and education.

We have found that the births of too many animals creates an oversupply of pets with not enough good homes available. By this we mean responsible owners who give their pets quality care and love. Responsible owners do not allow their pets to contribute to the horrendous overpopulation epidemic, but have their pets spayed or neutered.

We are not a traditional humane organization; indeed we are among the growing number of societies that realize that the overall reduction in the animal population will benefit the pet population in general. Therefore, the Laurens County SCHSPCA offers to the people and pets of our community the following programs and services:

• A Spay/Neuter subsidy program designed to help people pay for the cost of having their pets altered. Due to recent financial strains, this service will only be offered to those who can provide proof of limited income.
• An Adoption program where volunteers/owners foster pets and make arrangements for potential new owners to meet these adoptable pets.
• An answering service “Hot Line“ designed to aid the public in resolving their animal-related questions and problems. Volunteers answer approximately 150 calls monthly.
• An opportunity to become members of our organization and become a part of the solution through volunteer work and/or financial help.
