It is a volunteer-run nonprofit organization with the mission to ensure humane care and conditions for companion animals through spay/neuter, humane awareness education, and responsible pet adoption and ownership. The SCHS works directly with the municipal county shelter by taking animals into our foster care system, fully vetting them and adopting them to forever homes. They also offer low-cost spay and neuter options and pet food assistance to pet owners in need of assistance.
