The Virginia Beach Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (VBSPCA) aims to foster a more humane and responsible community by alleviating animal suffering and promoting compassion. They provide shelter and care for approximately 3,000 to 4,000 companion animals annually, focusing on increasing adoption rates through affordable packages that include vaccinations, microchipping, and spay/neuter services. The organization operates a foster network, conducts temperament and behavior evaluations, and utilizes volunteers to socialize animals. Additionally, the VBSPCA offers a low-cost medical clinic, a mobile "Neuter Scooter" for spay/neuter services in underserved areas, and humane education programs for children. They also provide resources like a Pet Pantry for food assistance and support for injured wildlife.
