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.
