Welcome!
Lake Country SPCA is a 501(c)(3) animal welfare organization and no-kill shelter headquartered in Clarksville, VA.
We are dedicated to helping and finding placement for abandoned, abused, neglected pets, as well as litters of puppies and kittens that people find as strays, surrender, or are held by animal control.
Pet of the week
Jennie got adopted as a 6 mo. old pup, but sadly returned to LCSPCA on 4/25/24 at age 1 year, 9 mo., weighing 70 lbs. The folks were older and said she had too much energy for them. Jennie was house-broken at her last home and is smart, loving, vaccinated and spayed. Guessed to be a Terrier/Shepherd mix, this beautiful white, brown and black speckled girl with expressive eyes gets along with some dogs, but not all because she loves to rough-house and play pretty hard, which not all pups appreciate. When given attention or a treat by a familiar person, this cutie talks and wiggles with excitement, always following-up with a thank-you kiss. But when adopters come through the kennel isles, Jennie acts wary and barks, which puts them off. Defensive barking is common in shelters. Dogs feel vulnerable, so guard their small space from strangers who might harm them. But it disguises their true nature and adds months or years to their shelter stay. This is particularly sad because outside a shelter cage or with staff she knows, Jennie is affectionate, bubbly, loving, loyal and up for any adventure! She would make someone an amazing companion and be steadfast in her commitment to protect and love whomever rescues her. LCSPCA hopes someone will visit and take Jennie to the lobby, office or outside for a walk to see how bright and wonderful she is. This girl has been misunderstood and just needs a chance. Call (434) 374-8076 or email lakecountryspca@yahoo.com to adopt. The shelter is open for walk-in adopters Mon-Sat from 12-4pm at 11764 Hwy. 15, Clarksville, VA.
About Us
As a private shelter, we do not receive any government or agency funding; it is only through donations, grants, and adoption fees that we are able to provide the care needed for our shelter pets. We’d love your help and support in this important mission to cover our monthly expenses of roughly $25,000. Our expenses include employee salaries, utilities, building maintenance, veterinarian care, spay and neuter, food, bedding, vaccines, cleaning, and supplies.
On average, Lake Country SPCA rescues over 700 animals per year and adopts out an average of 600 animals per year.
Our History
Began with a group of people who were concerned with the number of stray animals roaming the streets in Clarksville. In September of 2002, they rescued the stray animals, keeping them safe and cared for in their homes and backyards. Today, we are in a facility that was built in 2015, equipped to shelter, provide medical care, and spay and neuter over 700 animals per year. It is through our generous and dedicated sponsors, donors, volunteers and employees who have made our successful journey possible!
Our Mission
Is to enrich the lives of animals through rehabilitation, protection, care, education, and adoptions to FUR-ever loving homes.
Our Vision
Is to inspire a community to nurture and celebrate the animal-human bond, promoting and supporting spaying and neutering. We envision a day where every animal has a responsible, loving, caring home; where every pet is happy, healthy and safe from harm; and where no pet suffers from neglect, cruelty, or abuse.
