Financials and Statistics
The Martinsville Henry County SPCA was formed in 1974 by two concerned citizens. The first shelter was purchased in 1992 and in 1994 the SPCA was accepted into the North Shore Animal League Puppy Adoption Program. The new facility opened in January 2007, becoming a limited-intake, no-kill facility. In this new building the SPCA was able to start rehoming over 1,000 animals through local adoptions and transfers to other no-kill rescues. The SPCA offers a low-cost spay/neuter program through the Louise R. Lester Spay/Neuter Clinic which opened in December 2021. 2013 kicked off a huge year for the SPCA as it started a campaign to take the entire community No-Kill by 2015. The SPCA is now working with the local pounds to maintain the No-Kill community status. Each year we continue to look for bigger and brighter prospects for our community’s cats and dogs.

Animal Live Release Statistics
The Martinsville Henry County SPCA calculates the live-release rate of the entire community including the county and city pounds. A live release rate is any positive outcome for an animal, i.e. adoption, return to owner, transfer to another no-kill facility for placement. We combine each facility's numbers using the No Kill Advocacy Live Rate.
No-Kill Advocacy Live Rate Equation
A: All intakes and animals on hand January 1st
B: All deaths and missing animals
C: All positive outcomes and animals on hand December 31st
Save Rate: C divided by A
Death Rate: B divided by A
