As a no-kill shelter, the VBSPCA provides a second chance to countless homeless animals. Our spacious facility houses a menagerie of cats, dogs, small mammals, and even reptiles, eagerly awaiting their forever homes. By adopting from the VBSPCA, you not only give a deserving animal a new lease on life but also create space for another animal in need.
The VBSPCA's state-of-the-art veterinary clinic offers a comprehensive range of medical services for pets of all ages and circumstances. Our team of compassionate veterinarians and skilled technicians provide routine checkups, vaccinations, spaying and neutering, microchipping, and emergency care. We strive to keep your beloved companions healthy, happy, and by your side for many years to come.
Beyond our shelter and clinic walls, the VBSPCA plays an active role in the Virginia Beach community. Our outreach programs include:

Stories of Hope and Transformation
Countless heartwarming stories have emerged from the VBSPCA over the years, showcasing the transformative power of compassion and care. Here are just a few examples:
1. Max the Miracle Dog
Max was found abandoned and severely injured on the side of the road. Thanks to the VBSPCA's skilled veterinary team, Max received the emergency surgery he needed to repair his broken bones and save his life. After a long recovery in our shelter, Max was adopted by a loving family who cherishes him as one of their own.
2. Bella the Brave Cat
Bella was a stray cat who had been living on the streets for months. She was injured and malnourished when she was brought to the VBSPCA. Our dedicated staff nursed Bella back to health and found her a permanent home with a family that showers her with love and attention.
3. Samson the Sociable Squirrel
Samson was a baby squirrel who fell out of his nest and couldn't climb back up. The VBSPCA's wildlife rehabilitator cared for Samson until he was old enough to be released back into the wild. Thanks to our intervention, Samson was able to join his colony and thrive in his natural habitat.
