Overview

Mission

We are a foster-based, all volunteer organization that saves and improves the lives of vulnerable animals by providing care and placing adoptable animals into loving forever homes.

What it reported doing in 2025

Financial assistance program: hslcprovides funds to assist loudoun county residents experiencing a financial hardship that is impacting their ability to provide necessary medical care to their pets. Pet owners are requested to complete and application and if approved must contribution a portion of the medical expenses. Hslc believes that helping residents overcome temporary financial setbacks in such a way, enables a pet to stay in a loving home and reduces intake at the county animal shelter which in turn reduces the euthanasia rate and taxpayer liability. In 2025, hslc assisted 52 households through this program.(continue on schedule o)
