Who We Are:
The Fauquier SPCA was founded in 1957 to offer protection and assistance to the animals of Fauquier County and surrounding areas. The Fauquier SPCA lived up to its name almost immediately. Barely two weeks after it was organized, the SPCA went to the rescue of some starving livestock, whose owner was subsequently convicted of cruelty to animals. In the more than 50 years following its inception, the Fauquier SPCA has continued its mission of providing local animals with the most complete services possible.
For many years the shelter was housed at Dogpatch Farm, just outside of Warrenton, Virginia, in a small building about 100 feet square. In 1989 the present Fauquier SPCA shelter was built in Casanova, Virginia on eleven acres of donated land. This facility boasts 36 dog kennels, six dog quarantine kennels, and three separate cat rooms, including a cat sunroom. We have a spay/neuter clinic where shelter and privately owned dogs and cats are sterilized. There is also a barn and fenced paddocks to house livestock, exercise dogs, and provide additional storage space.
Be sure to take your time choosing a pet to become part of your family. All of the animals available for adoption are evaluated both for health and for temperament. Our animal care experts will advise you on the best type of pet for your situation and help match your needs with the available animals. We also offer follow-up phone calls and training classes to ensure that you and your pet adjust to each other and to provide assistance if necessary.
Other services available through the Fauquier SPCA include lost and found assistance, humane education, pet therapy, spay/neuter surgery, tag identification, and behavioral training. Our major focus is on the complete elimination of the pain and suffering caused by pet overpopulation and neglect.

The Fauquier SPCA is a 501(c)(3) tax exempt organization.
