Welcome 
Welcome to the website of the Stephens County Humane Society. We are very proud of this unique service which is offered to our loyal supporters. We hope to attract new friends and animal lovers, locally and nationally. We urge you to view our adoptable pets, our calendar of events and other services offered by SCHS.
These services don't "come cheap"! As the economy struggles, we also are experiencing financial difficulties. Our donor base is shrinking, yet our expenses continue to soar. As a result of the economy, more and more animals are being surrendered. We ask for your continued generous support. We can't exist without you! Please consider a donation to the SCHS or an adoption of one of our wonderful animals. But above all, have your pet spayed or neutered. Help prevent the overpopulation of cats and dogs!
Who We Are
We are a Humane Society and Rescue organization that serves Stephens County and it's surrounding communities. We work closely with Duncan and Marlow Animal Control in providing shelter to abandoned, abused, and surrendered animals, and finding homes for as many adoptable pets as we possibly can. Our focus is to educate the public in and around our county, to the importance of spaying and neutering their animals. This will help to prevent unwanted puppies and kittens, and can help put an end to the overpopulation problem. If everyone will do their part, we may someday reach our goal of no more homeless pets in our communities.

 Adopting a friend? (Find us on Facebook, we are listed as Stephens County Humane Society.) Many of our adoptable pets are listed!
We have 5 area veterinarians that assist us with low cost spay and neutering for animals that pass through our shelter. Our adoption fees include the cost of either spaying or neutering the pet, Heart-worm testing for dogs, and Feline Leukemia testing for cats, a rabies vaccination as required by state law, and current on yearly boosters. Our adoption fee for dogs is $100.00. The adoption fee for cats is $75.00. When you compare the costs of most spay/neuter operations, that is a great deal, plus you are saving a life and preventing future litters that many times wind up back in our shelter.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
(And PLEASE check out our WISH LIST, another way to help us!)
Volunteers are needed and very much appreciated. We have numerous opportunities to assist with animal care from light work, such as laundry and dishes, assisting in the cat room and bathing dogs to more manual labor such as cleaning kennels, walking dogs, washing outdoor kennels and more.
Our volunteers are encouraged to fill out a contact sheet upon their first day of work which will be kept on file in case of any kind of an emergency. We also ask Volunteers to sign in daily as to help the shelter keep track of volunteer hours throughout each month. You get a full tour of the facilty and will be assigned an employee chaperone who will help direct you throughout the day and assist you with any questions or concerns you may have.
We ask that you do bring a snack/lunch if you volunteer on longer day. We do not have a mandatory lunch break.
Our Volunteer hours are:
Monday 8-4
Tuesday 8-2
Wednesday 8-12 noon
Thursday 8-2
Friday 8-4
Saturday 8-12 noon
Teenagers under 15 yrs of age must be accompanied by an adult.
