    Since 1966, The Virginia Beach SPCA has been connecting people and pets. The VBSPCA cares for over 2,500 homeless domestic animals annually and has a 94% adoption rate. Their programs further the mission of creating a more humane and responsible community by eliminating animal suffering and increasing human compassion. The VBSPCA  approaches the issue of animal welfare through various angles: serving as a community resource for the welfare of all animals, providing second chances in forever homes, offering quality veterinary care, and ensuring that the youngest generation of animal lovers understands the importance of compassion.

    The Virginia Beach SPCA’s Grey Muzzle grant will cover the cost of medical care for senior dogs like Charlie. An eight-year-old beagle mix, Charlie was transferred to the VBSPCA from a local partner agency. Charlie, who is bonded with another beagle mix named Otis, required dental surgery and a mass removal totaling almost $500. Funding from Grey Muzzle will help ensure adopters do not incur additional charges beyond the standard adoption fee, therefore decreasing the average length of stay in our shelter for senior dogs like Charlie, and his best buddy Otis.
