Our History...

The Hill Country SPCA was chartered as a 501(c) (3) non profit organization in the state of Texas in October, 1997.

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.

Construction on the new building began in 2004, and the animals and staff moved into their new quarters in September, 2005.
The grand opening of the Trudy Brune Hill Country SPCA shelter facility was held in January, 2006.


Our Mission

Because every single animal has value, the Hill Country SPCA is dedicated to:

  • Preventing cruelty and neglect of domesticated animals in the Texas Hill Country
  • Reducing the number of homeless and unwanted companion animals
  • Eliminating euthanasia of unwanted animals
  • Fostering responsible pet ownership
  • Providing shelter and placement services for homeless and unwanted animals

Our funding comes strictly from donations, grants, and fundraising events. We are not supported by tax dollars.

Our Euthanasia Policy

Once an animal is accepted in our adoption program they are not euthanized for time or space reasons. A dog or cat will stay in our adoption program until they find their forever home, Unless there are medical or behavioral issues that develop deeming an animal un-adoptable.

The policy regarding euthanasia of animals under our care is that no animal will be euthanized unless:
1.  Medical Necessity:  The animal is proven to have a disease or injury so severe as to be untreatable, incurable, or irreparable by currently available humane medical procedures.  At least two Hill Country SPCA directors must agree, AFTER consulting with a licensed veterinarian regarding the animal’s condition, that euthanasia is indicated.

2.  Dangerous aggression beyond rehabilitation:  The animal is so vicious as to be a threat to other animals or human companions, and such temperament is deemed not correctable by available professional training methods.  At least two Hill Country SPCA directors must agree, after consulting with an Animal Behavior Consultant, that euthanasia is indicated.
