Founded in 1902, the mission of the SPCA of Tompkins County is to protect companion animals. We are the first open-admission, no-kill shelter in the country dedicated to preventing animal cruelty and overpopulation. not only do we steward animals, but the environment as well. our “green” shelter, known as the Dorothy and Roy Park Pet Adoption Center, was LEED- Certified Silver in 2004—the first shelter to achieve this status in the united States. our best practices in shelter operations and programs serve as effective examples for other shelters across the country striving to achieve no-kill status. We strive to foster a community in which the need for sheltering abandoned, neglected and homeless and abused animals is diminished; and we work ceaselessly to place medically and behaviorally healthy, treatable or manageable animals in loving homes. We provide leadership in cruelty investigation initiatives, educational outreach, and pet population control. We promote responsible pet stewardship by providing behavioral issues-counseling as needed for adopted animals and their owners, as well as behavior training for shelter dogs to increase adoption rates and ultimately nurture and enhance the human-animal bond.

We harness the unique power of equine therapy for those facing acute medical, developmental or emotional challenges. Our specially trained miniature horses are taken directly to the facility (or home) of anyone within reach, many now coming directly to our barn. Compassionate horse therapy is proven to lower heart rates, blood pressure, anxiety, PTSD and depression, while mitigating feelings of loneliness, fear and isolation. Profound benefits are gained almost immediately for our hospice and Alzheimer's patients, as well as cognitively disabled youth or emotionally traumatized children, many suffering from the abusive horrors of sex trafficking. 100% of your gift goes directly towards horse care; our trainer/handler works solely as a volunteer, rewarded simply by the Grace of those we serve. Please Help Us lift up a Life!

Lindsay is also a leader in the field of wildlife rehabilitation with a full veterinary staff and more than 500 volunteers. It is the first, and frequently only, resource for those who encounter injured, ill, or orphaned wildlife of all species, native mammals, birds, amphibians, and reptiles . During the recent drought years, Lindsay has treated record number of wild animals (more than 5,700 in the first 10 months of 2015).

We provide foster homes for abandoned, abused, or unwanted dachshunds and help them on their way to finding a permanent and loving home. VISION & MISSION We envision a time when every dachshund in Georgia has a loving home for its entire life. We believe that the welfare of our companion animals is an indication of the health of our society. We see the current welfare of our companion animals as a disease. To treat the symptoms of this disease, we rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome dachshunds in need. To treat the causes of this disease, we educate the public on compassionate dog guardianship of any breed. We want to have a deep, direct impact in a limited geographic area, rather than a small impact in a large geographical area.
