Mission Statement
At all times and in every way, we are advocates for animals. We provide for their safety and comfort, strive to alleviate their suffering and work to place them in homes that provide a responsible lifetime commitment to them. We speak out publicly to promote and defend their interests. We oppose all forms of animal cruelty. We promote spaying and neutering to achieve and retain a no-kill community. We oppose any taking of the lives of healthy or treatable animals and do not participate in such conduct ourselves. We provide services that promote responsible pet ownership and humane attitudes toward all life.
About This Cause
The Richmond SPCA is a nonprofit, no-kill humane society in Richmond, Virginia. We are not a part of or related to any other organization with “Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals” or “SPCA” in its name. We stand for the principle that every life is precious by: - Saving the lives of about 4,000 homeless dogs, cats, kittens and puppies each year by transferring them into our care primarily from shelters all over Virginia where their lives are at risk without us. - Providing extensive veterinary medical treatment and behavioral rehabilitation to the vast majority of the dogs and cats in our shelter because they come to us with significant veterinary medical issues and/or behavioral challenges. - Adopting about 4,000 homeless pets into loving, lasting homes each year. - Operating our community’s first and only full-service, low-cost veterinary hospital for the pets of people of modest means. - Offering a free behavior helpline and resource library that provide guardians advice, training guidance and support that allows them to keep their pets and not relinquish them to a shelter. - Delivering free sterilization surgeries and rabies vaccinations to community cats brought to our veterinary hospital by community members engaging in Trap-Neuter-Return. - Providing educational programs for children to learn the importance of creating a more humane world. - Teaching more than 30 reward-based pet training classes per week. - Advocating for progressive, humane legislation in our community and state.
