Support Homeless Pets
Your contributions make a positive difference in the lives of homeless pets! By giving to Loudoun County Animal Services (LCAS) or the Friends of LCAS, you will help enrich the lives of homeless pets and help LCAS find adoptive homes for pets in need.
Become a donor by giving financially or providing supplies to enrich the lives of shelter pets as they wait for caring homes. LCAS is a 170c organization (the government equivalent of a 501c3); your donations to LCAS are tax deductible!

Give Pet Food for the Loudoun Pet Pantry!
We’re always in need of dry, adult dog and cat food as well as canned dog and cat for the Pet Pantry Program. Small dry food bags (5-8lbs) are preferred but any size, unopened bag can be accepted.
Pet Pantry is a partnership between Loudoun Hunger, the Humane Society of Loudoun County and LCAS. Together, we pack over 300 kits of dog and cat food each month for families in need. The program helps keep families together and allows pets to stay with their owners. Read more about the Pet Pantry program!
All donated food must be unopened and unexpired.
Become a Donor at the Click of a Button!
It is a simple as a click of the button through the Friends of Loudoun County Animal Services. This 501c3 organization is an official partner with LCAS and the funds they collect will directly benefit shelter pets in a number of ways including, but not limited to: medical procedures, purchasing supplies, training for pets and staff, and sponsoring adoption fees.
Give a Financial Gift in Person at the LCAS Animal Shelter!
You may give directly to LCAS by making an in-person donation at the animal shelter (cash, checks, and credit cards are accepted) or by mailing a check to 42225 Adoption Drive, Leesburg, VA 20175. Please make checks payable to the County of Loudoun with "Animal Program Trust Fund" in the memo line. The Animal Program Trust Fund is used to purchase supplies that directly benefit the pets but that are not provided for in the government operating budget.
Give a Place in Your Home: Foster!
Maybe you can't give a lifetime home to a pet right now. You may be traveling too much for your job or you just aren't ready for a lengthy commitment. If you can commit to two weeks, fostering is a great way to enjoy having a pet without the long term commitment. Interested? Learn more about fostering!
Give Your Time & Expertise: Volunteer!
Make an immediate and positive difference in the lives of shelter pets though our volunteer program. From working with shelter pets to helping create social media content for marketing pets. We have a number of ways you can volunteer your time! Please note: to volunteer directly with shelter pets you must be able to commit to two hours of service each week for 6 months. Volunteers who work with shelter pets will go through an orientation and 8 hours of training with the species of their choice. Learn more about volunteering!
