SPCA of Martinsville-Henry County
Our Mission
We are dedicated to serving animals and people by engaging the hearts, hands, and minds of our community to compassionately and responsibly create a more humane world for animals. We believe that when we work together for good, our community truly thrives.
Our Story
Founded in 1974 by a small group of committed citizens, we have grown from a modest volunteer telephone adoption program into a dedicated, professional shelter. Today, we operate as an independent 501(c)3 non-profit, relying on the generosity of our community to provide refuge, rescue, and care for those who need us most.
How We Care
Operating as a limited-intake, no-kill facility, we prioritize the health and well-being of every animal in our care. Our shelter serves as a safe harbor where pets receive medical attention, socialization, and the patience they need to thrive before finding their forever families. We are proud to manage the Louise R. Lester Spay & Neuter Clinic, ensuring we combat overpopulation at the source through accessible, low-cost services.
Your Role in Their Journey
Adoption is a life-changing partnership, and we are here to ensure that every match is a success. We take the time to learn about our pets’ unique personalities so we can help you find a companion that fits perfectly with your lifestyle and living environment. Bringing a new family member home is a rewarding journey, and we are honored to support you through every step of the process.
