Formed in 1913, The Center for Animal Health and Welfare (formerly the Northampton County SPCA) is a private organization. We are not affiliated with any other SPCA or ASPCA. We are not a government agency, but are a non-profit organization with a 501c3 status. In 2003 we committed ourselves to saving lives and became a no-kill shelter. We are dedicated to providing a safe and healthy environment for animals. We have improved our foster program, increased adoptions and offer a low-cost spay/neuter program. Fund raising, donations and bequests make up 90% of our income and we apply for many grants. Adoption fees, relinquishment fees, memberships and agreements with some of the local municipalities, to take in their strays, generate the rest of our revenue. Although we greatly appreciate the help from the municipalities that do support us, not all do. Northampton County contributes about $5,000. Financials We are responsible for a $900,000 operating budget annually. Our major costs are: Veterinary care Medical supplies Kennel supplies Spay/Neuter expenses Insurance Utilities Payroll. Adoption We make every effort to find loving homes for these scared and lonely pets. We do not set a fixed time limit on animals, but keep them for as long as they remain adoptable.

President/ Founder We are passionate about saving dogs/ cats and partnering them with amazing home that are perfect fot them and adopters

The new shelter opened in February 2010. At that time , the Shelter manager had resigned and no new person had been hired. FCHS volunteers were instrumental in the move from the old shelter to the new one. We were still not entirely welcomed or appreciated, but the PD needed us and therefore encouraged us to participate. With the new shelter came new opportunities. Adoptions soared with additional traffic to the new clean facility. Unfortunately so also did intake. In April 2010 a new shelter manager was hired. Unfortunately, old procedures continued to plague the operations and many foster homes were added to try to keep as many animals as possible alive long enough to find them adopters or rescue. It was a trying time. Managers came and went and so did our volunteers. Many found it too discouraging to try to save an animal and then find out it was put to sleep just because it had been on the books for too many days. Volunteers dropped out like flies. Foster homes disappeared. Only a few die hards remained. The writing was on the wall. Finally the PD realized that the politics of running a humane shelter was a nightmare for them and in 2016 they asked the Humane Society to take over operations. Although this had been suggested several times before, the HS had not been in a position to accept due to shortage of funds. A wonderful bequest from a cat loving citizen who died in 2015 made it possible to accept the responsibility of running the shelter. The rest, as they say, is history. We took over operations on January 1, 2017. Although many predicted that we would fail, in fact, even hoped for it, we proved them wrong. Through our leadership the shelter has become one of the most progressive in the state.

The Delta Humane Society & SPCA is a true no-kill animal shelter. We provide shelter, medical care and adoption services to abandoned, lost and misplaced pets. Each animal that comes into our shelter is given vaccinations and placed under surveillance until it is determined that the animal is ready to go home with a loving new owner. Every animal has been spayed or neutered before adoption. Our staff does this for the love of our furbabies. Each one is given the love an attention they need until they find a forever home.

We are Tails of the Unwanted. We started this rescue group to provide dogs and cats a chance at a new start in life. Our animals go into foster homes to become acclimated in home life after leaving the chaos of the shelter environment. We love our animals like they are our own and give them the highest care possible.

Leo Feline Foundation is a cat only educational rescue and sanctuary with a different focus then most rescues. LFFs primary focus is on abandoned and feral mom cats and their kittens. LFF is also heavily involved in species appropriate nutrition. The founder of Leo Feline Foundation has been involved with TNR, spay/neuter, and cat adoptions for over 20 years. LFF focuses mainly on feral and free roaming cats, especially kittens. We trap pregnant and nursing mom cats in order to give them and their babies a chance at a better life.

Lost Ball Canine Rescue is an all volunteer 501c3 national organization with a mission to rescue, rehabilitate and find permanent families for GSDS.

We are Boxer Paws Rescue. We pull Boxer breed dogs that are stray, orphaned or in shelters to get them well and find the the perfect forever homes.

Rags to Riches Animal Rescue is a foster based animal rescue on Long Island, NY. One of our first priorities is to help alleviate our huge stray and feral cat problem locally so we mainly work with local trappers and shelters to get these poor kitties vetted and socialized. The more we can help locally, the more we can help in other areas.

EIN# 84-1846620 We are an animal advocacy group/dog rescue, based in the Upstate of South Carolina. The horrific case of an abused dog brought this group to life. His name is Champ, a Mastiff-mix who was found chained to a tree, severely emaciated, and near-death in Laurens County, SC. Our members, from across the US and around the world, have come together to fight for Champ and all abused animals. A new non-profit, however, our group has been operating for a little over a year, with a steady 4,600 member following. As a group, we’ve done some exciting things in our short existence. A few of our highlights include; a highly successful email campaign to have charges in the case of Champ, upgraded to a felony against his abuser, a demonstration outside the Laurens County Courthouse. Fight Like A Champ was immensely involved in South Carolina Senate bill S.105, The Animal Welfare Bill with Humane Society of the United States on Humane Lobby Day at the Statehouse in Columbia, SC. We work tirelessly, attending any county council meetings we can get on the agenda for. Our group was utilized to help pass tethering ordinances in both Spartanburg and Greenville counties. In addition to running our own rescue and advocacy work, we’ve helped numerous private citizens obtain spay/neuter services through our friends at SPEAK FOR ANIMALS. We LOVE to help our friends in the rescue community in any way we can. Whether it's through fostering for them, helping them out with a food donation, or helping raise funds for specific special needs animals. We like to help those who help others. By working together we can help more, do more , be more effective advocates for the animals we represent. We “liberated” a Husky who’d spent the entirety of his four years chained to a tree in Lyman, SC. We’re happy to report he's been successfully vetted including neuter and is being adopted by his foster family. We specialize in orphaned bottle puppies, but have a strong passion for pit bulls and black dogs too. All medical care is provided for all rescue dogs including but not limited to, spay/neuter, vaccines, microchipping, flea and heartworm preventative. We currently have seventeen dogs in the custody of our rescue. We have big plans for the future as well. With our 501c3, we will have the ability to do so much more for the community. The establishment of a “pop-up pet food bank’, is one of our dreams. We believe that helping people in need with what seems so small to us, can actually help keep a pet in a home and out of a shelter. Through our “pop-up pet food bank’, we plan to distribute educational and information handouts containing information on other available community services for pet owners, spay and neuter info, vaccination and vet info, and how to report animal abuse. In our wildest dreams, a building where we would house more animals pulled from “high kill” shelters and enough funds to feed and vet them while they search for forever homes. Thank you for your interest in our passion for saving lives. We appreciate your love and support. You can follow our advocacy adventures on our Facebook page or join our facebook group.
