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.
Thank you to our Partners!

Another Wednesday and another transport for dogs and cats in our area to rescues in Northern Virginia. We had 6 rascally puppies, a beagle and another cute pup from the Galax Carroll Grayson Animal Shelter, and a momma cat with two kittens. The two kittens weren’t siblings but the momma cat took the other older kitten in and nursed her. Enormous thanks to Donna Vanden Raadt for fostering the kitties. These transports couldn’t take place without our volunteers, Homeward Trails Animal Rescue, SFC Virginia: The Squishy Face Crew and Jenn at JR Pet Services Waggin' Train Galax. Also extremely vital to this effort is the Tazewell County Animal Shelter who provides transport to Staunton. Thank you all!
