Welcome to our storefront
The mission of the Louisa Humane Society is to improve the quality of life for the homeless and abandoned animals of Louisa County; and to provide a clean, safe environment for these unwanted animals while making every effort to place adoptable animals into new, loving, responsible homes.
The Louisa Humane Society was formed in 2001 by concerned citizens who recognized that the Louisa County Animal Shelter was in very poor condition and its daily operation was underfunded, understaffed, and generally inadequate for the growing numbers of homeless and unwanted dogs and cats in Louisa County. The volunteers that make up Louisa Humane Society believe that healthy, adoptable animals do not need to be euthanized if spay and neuter programs are supported, aggressive adoption programs are implemented, and a public educational campaign on responsible pet ownership is launched within the community.
We depend on volunteers and welcome anyone who loves animals and who is willing to give a little time to the effort. The Louisa Humane Society is incorporated with non-profit 501(c)(3) status.
Testimonials
What our community says about us
We had an amazing experience with the Louisa Humane Society. We love our Sadie. They were very thorough in their background investigation. She had a lovely foster home too.
They are a hard working group who truly change the lives of local animals for the better. They are a great place to get a pet for your family. If you are looking for a place to volunteer, you should get in touch with them.
I adopted my sweet FeLV+ kitten from this organization, who did not give up on her litter. I applaud them for this and also thank them from the bottom of my heart for “Snow Leopard” kitten, Ryn.
This rescue pulls from high-kill and saves cats & dogs. Thank you to so many who volunteer for Louisa Humane Society.
