Who We Are

 

HSLC is a non-profit 501(c)(3) animal welfare organization. We partner with our community to save more animals and achieve a no-kill community. HSLC is run only by volunteers and relies on foster homes instead of a permanent shelter.

Founded in 1966, HSLC has saved tens of thousands of animal lives. We adopt the no-kill equation so that all adoptable animals are saved. We contribute to Virginia serving as a national leader in the no-kill movement.

HSLC includes eight programs: Animal Care, Community Outreach, Education, Communications, Fundraising, Volunteer Management, Events, and Administration. These programs ensure that animals find forever homes or that animals already in their forever homes can stay with their loving families.
