Hill Country SPCA

From Day One, it was the dream of the HCSPCA organizers and volunteers to have their own shelter facility. This dream came true in 2003 when Ed and Trudy Brune offered to underwrite a new shelter facility to be named after Trudy, in recognition of her life-long love of animals. To give every pet in the Hill Country the best life possible through successful rescue, adoption, community relationships, awareness, and advocacy.

The Animal Care Specialist (ACS) supports the Hill Country SPCA's programs and services and provides direct care to the animals and ensures the health and enrichment of all animals at the HCSPCA. The ACS works with the public and provides customer service, assists with animal selection, coordinates adoptions, answers inquiries, and helps clean and sanitize kennels.

The adoption process at the Hill Country SPCA is a matchmaking process. We strive to match the best possible pet with the best possible home and family. Sometimes that means the animal you fall in love with online, may not be the perfect match to take home. A typical adoption goes something like this.

The Hill Country SPCA is different from your traditional shelter in many ways. One of those ways is that we take in bottle babies, pregnant animals, and nursing moms. We then care for them until they are old enough for adoption. Doing so has created a unique adoption process for these little ones. Our goal with every litters is that each puppy has a home lined up on their available date, and none have to spend a night in shelter alone without their siblings.We have also found that when placing purebred, or "highly desirable" dogs we receive an overwhelming amount of interest, and the first application isn't always the best match for that particular dog.
