In 2000, the HSC began its purpose by working within the walls of the Culpeper County Animal Shelter - supplementing adoption efforts for dogs and cats. A few years afterwards, the HSC sought its own space downtown (office space) to begin the effort of running a full-time foster/adoption program that eventually grew to support other areas of animal welfare, offering other services, such as spay/neuter. Today, we are an all volunteer, home foster based, non-profit animal rescue group with no brick and mortar facility. By closing the office, we save on overhead costs to provide more money for vet and care for more rescue animals. We've greatly expanded our Pet Pantry program to include the pets of the disabled, and seniors as well as individuals through Human Services. Reaching a much larger and diverse population for true community assistance for its cats and dogs is a primary goal of the Culpeper Humane Society.
