Virginia

We are a small group of women who believe that abandoned and stray cats deserve a second chance. We have been in business since April 2006. We have adopted over 600 cats since we have been formed.

We are a new group dedicated to saving the lives of those dogs/puppies that end up in shelters and are going to be euthanized. We have a passion to speak for these dogs who cannot speak for themselves.

The new Regional Animal Shelter is the first municipal shelter in this region. Stray animals have been boarded at a veterinarian's office up until this time. It will serve 2 counties, King William and King & Queen. Our primary responsibility is to reunite lost pets safely with their owners. We will provide preventive health care while the animals are here; have an adoption program; low-cost spay/neuter assistance; pet care responsibility information; humane education and special events.

MAESSR is dedicated to rescuing and rehoming English Springer Spaniels through rescue, rehabilitation, humane education, training and community outreach.

K-9 Lifesavers, a 501c(3) non-profit organization, rescues homeless and abandoned dogs from high-kill shelters, owners who can no longer care for them, and other high-risk situations. K-9 Lifesavers works with dedicated volunteers, foster homes, local veterinarians, trainers, and kennels to provide loving temporary care while we find well-matched, carefully screened forever homes for each dog we take in. We also serve as a support group to our adopters and all dog owners by providing ongoing education and resources for the well-being of their dogs, including the importance of proactive spay/neuter policies, positive behavior training, and good nutrition.

We serve as both a Humane Society organization and a local pound. We try very hard to find homes for our homeless pets. The board of directors is comprised of local people from many walks of life that care deeply for animals. We have employees who do their best to make the animals feel loved and cared for while in our shelter.

The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of Northern Virginia is a non-profit, volunteer-based, private organization established by local concerned citizens to rescue domestic animals from cruelty, neglect and abandonment. We receive all our funding from membership dues, donations, and fund-raising events. We are always striving to enlarge our animal rescue operations and expand our services to the community. Our voluntary Board of Directors, committee members, and volunteers are responsible for all SPCA activities. We do not have a shelter facility, and depend on foster parents to care for domestic animals until adoption. Investigating reports of cruelty, abuse, neglect and abandonment is one of our primary functions. In most situations, an animal need not be removed from its home. Education is the key to successful pet ownership and the prevention of future inhumane treatment of animals. Adoption volunteers find homes, both through individual appointments and at our open houses for domestic animals brought into custody by our state-licensed humane investigators and dedicated volunteers. Humane education is vital to animal welfare. We offer speakers to schools, adult and children's groups, and individuals requesting information. Our public relations volunteers give us important contacts with the media and allow us to reach out to a growing number of people. We also have a newsletter; and offer free animal education articles and problem-solving assistance to the community. Our fund-raising volunteers research and coordinate new avenues to obtain funds for use in helping animals. Since we do not receive any state or county funding assistance, the fund-raising volunteers are always looking for new sources of revenue. Foster homes provide a special environment for our animals to receive the love and attention they so desperately need. Foster home volunteers provide reassuring contact for animals that may have been exposed to cruelty or neglect. They evaluate the needs of each animal and provide valuable information to prospective new owners. The SPCA does not, as policy, euthanize, and takes in animals as foster homes become available.

We are an animal rescue organization with very few volunteers. We spay/neuter, vaccinate, treat for parasites, and fix any medical issues for all our animals before adoption. We do this because we believe that animals need to be helped & what we do keeps a lot of animals from being killed in shelters. All our animals are in foster homes until adoption.

Our mission is to save adoptable, pure-bred Dalmatians with good temperaments and place them into appropriate forever homes.
