CHECK OUT WHAT HAPPENED AT ONE OF OUR RECENT MEETINGS

A REALISTIC PICTURE OF GREENVILLE COUNTY’S PET OVERPOPULATION

This presentation focused on the new relationship between Greenville Humane Society and the County of Greenville’s Animal Care Services Division.  This workshop reviewed many of the protocols upheld by Animal Care Service’s receiving facility and common public misconception of these policies and procedures.  A frank discussion of animal euthanasia and community responsibilities was examined, as well as ideas to effect change.

Shelly Simmons has worked in the animal care field for over 10 years.  Her career started as a Humane Agent for a non-profit humane society in northeast Ohio.  For many years, she focused her efforts on animal cruelty investigation and prosecution, and later served as the Shelter Manager and Director of Operations.  In 2007, she and her family moved to Greenville, SC, where she is currently helping animals as the Division Manager for the County of Greenville’s Animal Care Services Division
