Pet of the week

ROSS

Ross_1_square.jpg

Ross is a great Hound. He is happy, playful, gets along great with people and other pets and is a good sport. He even gets along with cats. He often seems to be smiling. Ross came to LCSPCA as a transfer from the county pound on 8/9/23 at age 1 year, weighing 48 lbs. He and another dog were found running together, lost or abandoned. Despite being sweet, tolerant, goofy and friendly, most Hounds spend months or years waiting in shelters for adopters. Many people think they are hunting dogs, not family dogs, so they get passed-over for Labs, Shepherds, etc. Hounds make wonderful pets! Call (434) 374-8076 or email lakecountryspca@yahoo.com. Website info. is at lakecountryspca.org. LCSPCA is open to the public without appt. Mon-Sat from 12-4pm

About Us

As a private shelter, we do not receive any government or agency funding; it is only through donations, grants, and adoption fees that we are able to provide the care needed for our shelter pets. We’d love your help and support in this important mission to cover our monthly expenses of roughly $25,000.  Our expenses include employee salaries, utilities, building maintenance, veterinarian care, spay and neuter, food, bedding, vaccines, cleaning, and supplies.

On average, Lake Country SPCA rescues over 700 animals per year and adopts out an average of 600 animals per year.

About Us

Our History

Began with a group of people who were concerned with the number of stray animals roaming the streets in Clarksville.  In September of 2002, they rescued the stray animals, keeping them safe and cared for in their homes and backyards. Today, we are in a facility that was built in 2015, equipped to shelter, provide medical care, and spay and neuter over 700 animals per year. It is through our generous and dedicated sponsors, donors, volunteers and employees who have made our successful journey possible!

Our Mission

Is to enrich the lives of animals through rehabilitation, protection, care, education, and adoptions to FUR-ever loving homes. 

Our Vision

Is to inspire a community to nurture and celebrate the animal-human bond, promoting and supporting spaying and neutering.  We envision a day where every animal has a responsible, loving, caring home; where every pet is happy, healthy and safe from harm; and where no pet suffers from neglect, cruelty, or abuse.
