Supporting the human-animal bond in our community, from providing pet owners with assistance to establishing fair and non-discriminatory practices in our town, is crucial. Our initiatives include current projects, resources for the community, volunteer opportunities, and more. All of our initiatives are designed to provide a humane home for all pets, homeless animals, and people, in Rockbridge County and the Cities of Lexington and Buena Vista.
We encourage you to explore our initiatives and to get involved. We welcome new volunteers.
