SPCA Eastern Shore
The SPCA Eastern Shore is a private nonprofit 501(c)3 non-euthanasia (no-kill), limited intake animal shelter for dogs and cats in Accomack and Northampton Counties on Virginia’s Eastern Shore. We provide shelter, food, medical care, and adoption services for homeless and abandoned dogs and cats. These services are funded solely by private donations and adoption fees. At the SPCA, we treat our shelter pets with the same love and care we give our own, and that means providing them regular medical care, monthly heartworm and flea preventative and annual vaccinations. Our unique shelter provides a homelike environment that focuses on constantly improving our pets’ mental and physical well being to ensure they remain highly adoptable and happy while waiting for their new, forever families to find them. However, as a limited intake shelter we can only take the animals when we have space and staff to care for them. This means that sometimes when a owner calls to surrender their pet, we simply cannot take them. A sad fact is that the SPCA cannot adopt out pets as fast as cats and dogs are being produced. Remember, nationwide, only half of all animals coming into shelters are able to be adopted out or returned to owners. The real roadblock to a no-kill society is pet overpopulation. When you are looking for a new pet, adopt one from a shelter or rescue and support the spay/neuter of all cats and dogs.

NORTHUMBERLAND WestRichmond NorthWestmoreland SouthLancaster EastMaryland
Northumberland County Animal Shelter Heathsville, VA 22473
Since November 1, 2001, the Animal Control Program for Northumberland County has been under the direct supervision of the Northumberland County Sheriff. Recognizing the rural county needed assistance with adoption of animals we encourage the help of volunteers, headed by Fran Warren. Volunteers operate a "yard sale" in Lottsburg, VA to fund the medical needs of the animals in the shelter. The sale has been so successful it has funded cat condos, new puppy crates for the smaller dogs and other animal care needs of the shelter. Under the dedicated leadership of both the Sheriff and the Animal Control Officer, the volunteers clean kennels, socialize animals, assist with administrative duties and operate the adoption program for both cats and dogs.

Virginia State Law requires that all animals adopted from this facility be spayed or neutered. Other than for residents of Northumberland, Westmoreland, Richmond or Lancaster Counties, any animal adopted from this facility must be spayed or neutered before the new adopter takes possession of the animal. Arrangements for spaying or neutering can be made through the local veterinarians. No animal will be "shipped" from this shelter. You must personally visit the shelter.

Northumberland County Animal Shelter
11703 Northumberland Highway
Heathsville, VA 22473

The shelter is located on State Route 360 east of Heathsville. The shelter is located on the left approximately 1 mile past Horsehead. The hours of the shelter are Saturdays from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, Wednesdays from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm, or by appointment. To make an appointment or for additional information, call Fran at 804-724-0764 or e-mail adoptncas@gmail.com

Portsmouth Humane Society Portsmouth, VA 23704
Founded in 1889, we are believed to be the oldest continuously-operating animal welfare organization in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The City of Portsmouth, without a city-run animal shelter of its own, relies upon the Portsmouth Humane Society (PHS) to provide shelter, care, and adoption efforts for all of the city’s homeless animals. As a non-profit organization, we depend upon charitable contributions and volunteer support to accomplish our goal of providing the best possible outcome for the pets in our care.
