Fluvanna County SPCA

The Companion Animal Fund's goal is to care for thousands of animals by making direct financial contributions to SPCAs, pet sanctuaries, and rescue groups. All of these organizations actively seek to find permanent homes for all of the homeless and unwanted animals they care for by giving them food, shelter, veterinary care, and loving care.

A non-profit 501(c)(3) group called Northern Virginia Sheltie Rescue was founded in 1999 with the sole purpose of rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming Shelties and Sheltie-like dogs. The majority of the owners of these Shelties were unable to care for them and gave them up to NVSR. Others are discovered in shelters because they are abandoned or stray animals.

By offering shelter, medical attention, and behavioral services for dogs and cats, supporting long-term, loving homes, and advancing education and outreach, you can advance the compassionate treatment of animals.

Over 3,300 basset hounds and basset mix dogs have been cared for and placed in new homes by BROOD since 1996. Others needed to be rescued because their owners had to relocate, pass away, or were no longer able to care for their hounds. Some had been abused or neglected. We've been performing rescues for 26 years now.

Through adoptions and fostering, we aim to reduce the overall number of animals kept at the shelter.

In accordance with State laws and policies, the Orange County Animal Shelter is in charge of giving the animals that have been entrusted to us humane treatment.
