2025 impact

Spay & Neuter

Our primary goal is to provide spay/neuter for dogs and cats through various programs.

Sadly, there are more animals than good homes. Our local shelter is full and making difficult decisions daily. Spay and neuter is the humane way to reduce the population of homeless and unwanted animals!

In 2025, we spayed and neutered over 1,500 dogs and cats. We have something big in store for 2026 – stay tuned!

Pet Assistance

We also help the animals and the people who love them through our owner assistance programs, including vaccinations, microchips, pet food, housing, and medical assistance. These programs help people keep their animals at home and out of the shelter.

During 2025 we administered 2,500 vaccines (rabies, feline distemper, and canine distemper/parvo) and microchips to dogs and cats!

Foster & Rescue

And we are working harder than ever to help those animals that are already here and in desperate need of a lifeline through no fault of their own. Because of the support of our donors, we are able to respond immediately when called.

During 2025 we rescued 660 homeless or unwanted dogs and cats, taking them into our pet foster homes and providing them with medical support and love!

We are an all volunteer 501(c)3 non-profit humane society dedicated to providing spay/neuter assistance, shelter and veterinary care assistance, community education and outreach, and promoting the compassionate care and treatment of animals in our area.

All donations are used for animals in our local area.

🚨❤🐾😻Very Special Announcement😊🐾❤🚨

Each year, PETA honors the legacy of a champion for animals by presenting the Gregory J. Reiter Animal Rescue Award to a group and/or individual devoted to making the world a kinder place for animals.

This year’s award winner was our very own Susan Hevey! Her hands-on approach to helping animals in disadvantaged communities fills critical gaps – coordinating and subsidizing spay/neuter and other veterinary services, providing food, vaccinations and microchips, and responding to complex field cases that would otherwise go unaddressed and leave animals to suffer and die slowly and in pain.
This award includes a $1,000 donation to help advance the Twin County Humane Society’s mission.

Thank you, PETA, for caring about Twin County animals and their owners, and thank you, Susan!!!!

***If you know Susan, please share something about her that demonstrates her love and commitment for animals in the comments section❤!***
