Welcome to Foothills Humane SocietyOur Mission is to shelter and care for stray and surrendered companion animals within our community; Prevent cruelty to animals; Reunite lost animals with their owners, adopt animals to qualified homes or place them with reputable rescue organizations; and Educate the public about responsible animal ownership and population control. If you are interested in adopting one of the animals you’ve seen online, please complete our online adoption application. Please note that many of our dogs and cats live in foster homes, not at our adoption center. You may email us by clicking here if you wish to meet these pets that are in foster homes and we’ll be happy to arrange a visit! Foothills Humane Society is a private nonprofit organization. We rely on the support of our friends in the community to fund our programs. All gifts are tax-deductible as allowed by law. Through these donations, we have saved the lives of thousands of abandoned cats and dogs, and helped bring the love and loyalty of animals to children, families and seniors.

By placing a dog, cat, puppy, kitten, or other animal into a foster home, we’re able to expand our capacity to save even more lives. We make fostering fun, easy, and rewarding. All expenses are covered, and you can really help the mission of Foothills Humane Society! Your gift to Foothills Humane Society is immediately put to use helping animals in need and saving lives. Donations are used to provide medical care, food, and shelter for hundreds of animals. It also helps support our many community outreach programs aimed at keeping pets in loving homes. Please consider giving today and be a part of our lifesaving efforts!

Doggie daycare most weeks and boards there when I have to go out of town. It's his favorite place to go and they take great care of him. Savvi has been part of the daycare family at Upstate Kennel for four years.

She loves to go every morning. She plays all day with her daycare pals and she comes home clean and happy Upstate Kennel was the perfect solution for my dog while I work, and at a price that fits my budget. The staff are caring, knowledgeable & friendly people who care for Savvi as they would their own dogs.

We first met Jill and the Upstate Family with our first Boxer-Duke “Clifford” of Windsor- for training….

He was only 4 months old! In 2000 our Lady Coco Chenille became a member of the Upstate Family as well. Jill affectionately became known to our Boxer Kids as “Mama Jill”. All we had to do was say “Mama Jill” and they would both start the Boxer Wiggle and Side Step that only Boxer parents truly understand. Not only did Jill Jones, her family, and Upstate Staff become a place of training, fun, play and care for our Beloved Boxers, but they became our “doggie” mentors…Always there to answer questions, calm us when there was doggie trauma, and guide us to becoming good Humans for these wonderful animals. In August of 2012, it was time to say ‘farewell’ to our precious Clifford and Coco. We were not alone. Jill, her family, and Upstate Staff were there for us and with us every step of the way. They comforted us, reassured us, and helped us through the grieving process. I know of no other Dog Training or Pet Resort that would go to the extent of care that they did!

Today, we have a sweet, precious, new Boxer…”Foxy Roxy”… and keeping with tradition she was trained at Upstate and enjoys her visits with Mama Jill…..Upstate is not just a Pet Resort, they are like family. We never worry about our half breeds (half Boxer/half Human) when they are at Upstate. SHARON WARDAY, MSN, MJP, RN: GREENVILLE, SOUTH CAROLINA New Family Members needed Training - In June we lost our great companion of 11 years. He was a frequent flyer at the Upstate Dog Training's Kennel. Two weeks after he crossed the rainbow bridge, the house was so quiet we had to do something. We found two dogs that the owners said they could not keep. They wanted these two to stay together since they had been together since they were 8 weeks old. After much consideration, we adopted these two young dogs. Well, they had some training, but really we needed to have them trained so we knew what to do to reinforce the training. Fast forward to October and we bit the bullet and brought them both to Upstate Dog Training to have them (or us) trained properly.
