Lancova Partners for Pets, doing business as Northern Neck Partners for Pets (NNPP), is an advocate for the compassionate treatment of homeless pets. Organized by concerned citizens and incorporated as a 501(c)(3) non-profit animal charity, our mission is to provide humane care, veterinary services, and adoption programs for homeless dogs, cats, and small mammals.
Our focus is to build a no-kill animal shelter and adoption center to provide a secure environment where homeless pets can live without fear, hunger, or needless pain and suffering, while they wait for forever homes. Privately funded and operated, we will make every effort to find quality homes for adoptable dogs, cats, and small mammals at no cost to our local counties.
The four Northern Neck counties have public-funded facilities, operated through each county’s sheriff’s department, and run by animal control officers, who are county employees. Their resources are constantly strained by the demands of a large overpopulation of dogs and cats. This is caused by animals allowed to roam, pets that are not spayed or neutered, lost or discarded hunting dogs, neglected or abused animals, and abandoned pets.
Our small county shelters struggle to keep up with the influx of homeless pets. Not enough staff. Not enough room. Not enough money. Not enough adoptions. Sadly, some of these animals end up being euthanized, and many were healthy, well-behaved, loving animals who could have ended up as wonderful pets in forever homes.
