Adoption no longer pending. Momma is still available. This is the FOURTH time this poor dog has had her heart broken. Hopefully next week will be her time to shine, I’m not sure how much more she can take. She’s an amazing dog and we just don’t understand why she’s having to go through this.

ADOPTION PENDING

Momma is back. At no fault of the family, we knew this was a possibility, but we had to try. However, we now know that she CAN NOT live with cats or small animals of any sort. Our hearts are broken , mommas heart is broken and the families hearts are broken so please we beg of you to keep your negative thoughts to yourself.

We are open today until 3 o’clock and we are desperate for someone with no cats to come meet momma. She is absolutely amazing with other dogs and children and needs to find her forever home now!

WHAT A DAY!!! Bellame AND momma (Brandi) adopted out to the most amazing family together! Our hearts could not be happier or more grateful than we are right now to watch these two walk out of here to their forever homes! 🥰❤️

Clarification for all those that may be confused or just simply don’t know. 😊

Clarification for all those that may be confused or just simply don’t know. 😊

We would like to provide clarification and education regarding our organization's role within Halifax County.

We (Halifax SPCA) do not have an animal shelter of our own. Instead, we help to support the local county-run animal shelter by trying to get homeless and neglected animals adopted or sent to other rescues.

It is difficult to discuss, but the county-run shelter must abide by the rules set from the state, which may include euthanasia, if indicated. Hence, why it is so important for the SPCA to step in and assist in every way possible to get animals placed into their furever homes.

Halifax County's local shelter employees work tirelessly and diligently to prevent euthanasia, and this includes engaging with us and other rescue organizations in order to save lives. We are thankful and appreciative of their dedicated teamwork each and every day.

Saving lives includes not just collaboration between the SPCA and the shelter. It also includes support from our donors, local community members/businesses, and veterinary practices. We see first-hand that it truly takes a village.

While we would love to have a shelter of our own, it is not financially feasible at this time. Therefore, we will continue to work hard to support the animals at the local shelter the best that we possibly can.

We appreciate all who step up to the plate to assist our organization in working towards our mission and advocating for the animals here in Halifax County.

Momma has been adopted!!

It’s Friday and momma doesn’t have diabetes!

To clarify a lot of confusion- the SPCA and animal control are two totally different places. However, without the SPCA we just simply wouldn’t be able to function. Every penny they make helps the animals in the county, whether that be here at the shelter or someone just in need of help. So if you have $1,$5 or $100 it adds up and it helps.

We appreciate every one of you and hope for everyone to have a happy and safe new year! See you next year! 🤭

🌟 Good news and a little setback 🌟

Yesterday, we took Momma, a shelter pup who was surrendered because her previous owners suspected diabetes, to the vet. The good news? She's not diabetic! However, the bad news is she's dealing with heartworms. 😢

Heartworm treatment comes with a cost, but we've started her on the path to recovery, hoping it paves the way to her furever home. Can you spare $5 today to support Momma's heartworm treatment and extend a helping paw to other animals in need, just like her? Every $5 donation makes a meaningful impact. This is our last $5 Friday of 2023, and your contribution will make a huge difference. Thank you for your support! 🐾💙

Meet Brandi, well we call her momma. She’s about 2 years old and is literally as sweet as they come. Her goal in life is just to sit in your lap.

Momma was adopted and brought back immediately because she’s got diabetes. She was then looked at again, all paperwork was filled out and the people never came back for her so here she sits watching and waiting for the next person to give her a chance.

We all know diabetes is not an easy thing to live with, however with a good diet and proper care it is very manageable. We also understand that it would be an expensive thing to manage, so at this point we are just hoping for someone out there to show this girl what it means to be home and loved for as long as her body can and will fight. Are you that person for her?

12/26/2023

Good morning and welcome back to reality! We are open today from 12-6 and have plenty of animals looking to start a new year in their forever home!

Also, our phones are down again so if you have any emergencies, please call non emergency dispatch number @ 434-476-3334

🌈 In Loving Memory 🌈

Today, we remember a dear friend and dedicated veterinarian, Dr. Brandon Mallard, who touched the lives of countless fur babies and their human companions in our community. Dr. Mallard was not only an exceptional doctor but also a compassionate soul who cared deeply for both animals and people.

As we remember his kindness and the countless lives he touched, we envision him at the Rainbow Bridge, surrounded by the furry friends he helped and loved during his time with us. May he find peace and comfort in their company.

Our hearts go out to his family, friends, colleagues, and all who were fortunate enough to know him. Let us honor Dr. Mallard by continuing to foster the compassion and care he so beautifully exemplified.

Rest in peace, Dr. Mallard. Your legacy of kindness will forever resonate in the hearts of those who were touched by your gentle spirit. 🐾💔🌈

Who has the special place in their heart and home for a dog that’s not quite sure how to be a dog yet?

These three came to us as strays and at only about 8 months old they are afraid of the whole world. They want to be loved and want to be friendly, but it will take some time. We can touch them and love them, they’re just hesitant about it. You have to admit though, it’s amazing that THREE dogs can share a food bowl with not a single ounce of aggression. (Note: they only eat together and say hi to each other in the mornings while we clean because we’re so full)

If you think you could take on the challenge of showing a dog how to be a dog and to be loved, please come meet one of these babies. They’re goofy and silly and have so much potential!

‼️Long post because Milo deserves his chance‼️

Let me tell you about Milo, again. It’s seems that when we make these posts everybody is skipping over everything except the bad, so now I’m here to give you the long version. He is desperate and deserves a chance.

Milo came to us in August as a stray. He was so sweet and so loving that we immediately tried to send him to rescue when we became full. Well, unfortunately the rescues are full and having just as many animals coming in as we do. For a few months Milo was in foster care with an amazing volunteer where he learned simple commands, got fully vetted (shots and neutered) and learned what a home was. He’s met and loved dozens of other dogs and will chase your cat from here to Texas, but he wouldn’t hurt it.Here’s the thing though… foster homes are temporary and foster parents are a revolving door of saving lives.

Fast forward to Milo coming back to the shelter in hopes of finally finding his home. Milo is still just as sweet and loving. He also thrives on attention and he’s like a toddler when he doesn’t get it. He is now very bored and has a lot of pent up energy, you would too if you lived in a 5x5 kennel.

Now if you’ve made it this far, Milo needs a home that will be consistent, stable and strict with him. He is not a bad dog, he’s not going to destroy your home or bite you in a way that he means harm. He is playful and often times too rough with. For most experienced dog owners, this is an easy fix!

Now that you know his whole story, we are open from 12-6 tomorrow and we beg you to come meet this boy. Spend some time with him, let him calm down a bit and show you who he is. If you fall in love with home take him home and see how it goes. He deserves a home and to be loved and for some reason everyone seems to be scared of him. So please, come give him a chance. He will make somebody out there proud to be his owner. ❤️

‼️LIMITED TIME‼️

Last week we moved 9 dogs in 24 hours. This week we’ve brought in almost 20 dogs and it’s not over yet. With that being said, we can’t move all the new dogs until stray hold is up and we are FULL!

Milo and Bellame are the only two adoptable dogs we have right and we need them to get a home asap! We’re getting full and will have to start making decisions very soon. These two boys are GREAT dogs. Milo needs a very strict owner that will have the patience to train him and teach him limits. Bellame is just a big love bug. Come by and meet these babies, save their lives and give them a home for the holidays!

Milo is neutered and up to date on all shots. Bellame needs to be fixed, but we offer assistance with that along with their adoption fees being sponsored! We’re here until 6!

Milo, Milo, Milo. I’m sure at this point, everyone knows who Milo is. He has been in our custody since August! Now he has spent most of his time in foster care, but that doesn’t make his need for a home any less. He is getting very bored and antsy being locked up all the time! Milo is a GREAT dog. He’s very easy to train as long as you’ve got treats, but he is a little hyper and mouthy. We are working on this and it gets better everyday, but the one thing that would fix his flaws the most effectively would be a home with structure, consistency and stability.

Milo is about a year old and is already neutered and up to date on all shots. He’s about 30 pounds and is great with other dogs! I do not recommend adding Milo to your family if you have cats though. If you’re interested in saving this baby and giving him a home for the holidays, please, please come see him. His adoption fee is sponsored

🎁 Look at BELLAME being all excited for Christmas. He is hoping and praying he will get a home for the holidays. 🎄

He is a 2 year old male currently waiting at Halifax County Animal Shelter for his furever home. He is not yet neutered, but we will gladly assist with the cost of this for the person who brings him to a loving home! He is very sweet and loves to be around humans. Can you give Bellame a warm home this winter? ☃️❄️💙🙏

OH, did we mention his adoption fee is sponsored by a sweet human!?

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!

It was 7pm last night when we decided to open today to give everyone one last chance to get out. The way the county came through for us today not only saved all the babies that left, but the three that didn’t leave are also able to be safe for a little while longer now. Never in a million years did we think that we could move NINE dogs in 24 hours, but with your help we made it look easy!

Kovu, Kiarra, Walle, Balto, Eli and FOUR cats all got their forever homes for the Holidays today! We couldn’t do this without every one of you. Again, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts and so do every one of the animals that went home today! Our hearts couldn’t be happier!

Now Milo, Bellame and Sandy are here waiting for their turn!

Good afternoon! Lately we have had a lot of sensitive animals in the building and it’s been extra loud in here. We were wondering if anybody out there had any old radios to donate. We don’t need anything fancy, actually the more simple, the better. The dogs, cats and our sanity would greatly appreciate it!
