As a foster-mom for the Humane Society of Loudoun County, Stephanie Oporto already goes above and beyond for the animals in her community. But, she takes one more life-saving step when she shops. Read on to learn why she uses Amazon Smile (vs. Amazon) and why she has designated HSLC as her charity of choice.

Why Amazon Smile?

Like many of us, I am an Amazon shopper. It’s easy, convenient, and I can find everything I need in one place…even my favorite charity! When I shop I use the Amazon Smile app so the proceeds from my purchases directly benefit the Humane Society of Loudoun County. Without even thinking about it, I can help the animals in my community simply by doing what I always do – shop! It’s a no brainer really – I understand that not everyone can personally donate every time so I’m thankful that Amazon has created this site for busy shoppers like myself where they donate for you! It doesn’t cost you anything to be kind.

Why HSLC?

I chose the Humane Society of Loudoun County for the animals, of course! Not only are these animals in my own backyard but it’s very personal for me as I also know the amazing group of men and women who work selflessly every day to save the animals and educate our community. We have the same goal and I encourage my friends and family to join me. We’re shopping anyway so why not make it count! One click and you can save HSLC as your charity every time you shop!

You can follow Stephanie’s lead and start shopping at Amazon Smile today! And, if you have a little bit of space left in your shopping cart, please consider adding a high priority item from HSLC’s new Charity List on AmazonSmile. Thank you and happy shopping!

As a foster-based, all-volunteer organization, HSLC relies on the community to provide homeless animals the second chances they deserve. Here are five great ways to help our furry friends this holiday season.

Become a Guardian Angel – Maybe you’ve fallen in love with one of our animals but can’t adopt. Or perhaps you see a cat that has been on our site for a while that isn’t being adopted.  Sponsoring an animal in full or part will help us help them and will give you a warm, fuzzy feeling.

Host a Pet Food DriveThe Loudoun Pet Pantry is in constant need of cat and dog food.  Hosting a pet food drive is a great family, school or community project for the holidays and we have many ideas to get you started.  Be sure to tell us about your efforts so we can give you the recognition you deserve and inspire others by your example.

Set Up a Facebook Fundraiser – Involve your friends and family in our life-saving work by setting up a Facebook Fundraiser for Giving “Mewsday” (12/3) or your birthday. Please type “The Humane Society of Loudoun County” when selecting your charity.

Give through a Donor Advised Fund (DAF) – More and more supporters are using DAFs to manage their charitable giving.  They combine the most favorable tax benefits with the flexibility to support your favorite causes, like HSLC. Visit our website to learn more.  HSLC also accepts stock gifts and charitable IRA rollover distributions.

Donate Your Vehicle – Got a vehicle you want to unload before the new year? Consider donating it to HSLC. We offer free pick-up for donated vehicles of all types—cars, trucks, boats, and even ATVs.  Start the process here.

Thank you for making a life-changing difference for at-risk animals across the area.

Career and Technical Education students at Blue Ridge Middle School (BRMS) created a project to benefit the Loudoun Pet Pantry.  The pet pantry is a partnership between The Humane Society of Loudoun County, Loudoun County Animal Services, and Loudoun Hunger Relief. It helps keep pets in loving homes by providing food supplies to families in need.

Students in all three grades collaborated on a Pet Food Drive called Bulldog’s BFF after the school’s mascot. Sixth grade Keyboarding students designed promotional posters. Seventh grade Family and Consumer Sciences students made cat toys. Seventh grade TechEd students created the logo to brand the campaign. Lastly, eighth grade manufacturing students created food bowl holders.

During the week of May 13, BRMS students brought in dog and cat food along with pet supplies to donate to the Loudoun Pet Pantry.  Subsequently, Juanita Easton, President, accepted these donations on behalf of The Humane Society of Loudoun County on June 5.

HSLC is deeply grateful to the students, faculty and administration of Blue Ridge Middle School for helping the animals of Loudoun County. To host a pet food drive at your school, organization or community, please visit our website for help in getting started.

Moreover, you can drop off dog and cat food donations to one of several donation boxes located across the county. The Loudoun Pet Pantry accepts canned and dry cat and dog food. Dry food must be unopened, unexpired, non-prescription adult food. We cannot use kitten, puppy, or senior food for the pet pantry. Because space is limited, we can only use bags of dry food between 4 and 8 pounds. However, we can use all sizes of canned food.

Bring your 4 legged fur baby’s to Yappy Hour at Spanky’s each Wednesday! HSLC has been chosen as the non-profit for this weekly event to receive 10% of food sales on the back deck from 4pm to 9pm! Plus Tito’s Vodka for Dog People will donate $1 for each Tito’s drink purchased on the deck as well!

On the 1st Wednesday of each month, we will have a Dog Raffle Basket. People donating Pet Food, Pet Toys, or monetary donations receive an entry. Winner will be drawn at 7pm.

Pet food donation will be accepted every Wednesday. These donation help with running Loudoun Pet Pantry. For more information on this program and our partners, visit HSLC’s Loudoun Pet Pantry Page.

Don’t miss this great opportunity to learn more about HSLC, see dogs that are available for adoption, and to meet your neighbors and fellow pet lovers!!

HSLC appreciates the support from Spanky’s Shenanigans and our community!

Looking for that purrfect holiday project for your family, church group, school or office? If so, consider conducting a pet food drive for the Loudoun Pet Pantry (LLP).

All it takes for a pet to go hungry or be surrendered to a shelter is for their family to have an unexpected medical bill or a job loss. Therefore, in 2013, The Humane Society of Loudoun County (HSLC), Loudoun County Animal Services, and Loudoun Hunger Relief created the Loudoun Pet Pantry to help keep pets in their furever homes by providing food supplies to people in need.

And, the need is growing. Recently, HSLC doubled its food deliveries to better meet the increasing demand. So, we are in constant need of pet food donations.

As a result, we are hoping that compassionate folks across the community will help out by conducting their own pet food drives. You’ll find helpful ideas for getting started on our website.

No time for a food drive? Please consider dropping off a bag or two of dog or cat food at the many donation box locations across the county. Dry food must be unopened, unexpired, non-prescription adult food; we cannot use kitten, puppy, or senior food for the pet pantry. Because space is limited, we can only use bags of dry food between 4 and 8 pounds. However, we can use all sizes of canned food.

We also appreciate monetary donations as they allow us to fulfill any specific needs. And, if you donate through our website, please specify “Pet Pantry” in the dedication field.

Lastly, HSLC is looking for a new, donated or discounted, climate-controlled space for the growing Pet Pantry. Please contact helpanimals@humaneloudoun.org with any suggestions.

The Career and Technical Education (CTE) Department at Blue Ridge Middle School in Purcellville held a pet food drive for us as part of their One to the World Project. They called it Bulldog’s BFF because their mascot is the Bulldog. All three CTE grades, 6-8, participated.

6th Grade Keyboarding students conducted background research, made promotional posters, and wrote to local merchants asking for gift cards to promote the food drive. The 7th and 8th grade Family and Consumer Sciences classes produced cat toys. The 7th grade TechEd classes created a logo for branding purposes and the 8th Grade Manufacturing students are made food and water bowl holders.

They collected 3 large bins of food plus toys and the pet food and water bowl holders.
Great job Bulldogs!
