The Richmond SPCA receives roughly half of its animals from people giving up their own pets and half from the local government pounds in Richmond, Hanover, Henrico, Chesterfield and Goochland. Our staff members visit the local municipal shelters frequently to transfer animals.

The Richmond SPCA is a no-kill shelter. We do not euthanize pets due to lack of space or length of stay. For this reason, space is at a premium and we are not able to admit all pets at all times. We have a waiting list of both dogs and cats. When space does become available, our admissions department contacts those interested in surrendering their pets and sets up an appointment for relinquishment. While pets are on the waiting list, our staff helps the owners resolve behavioral issues, gets the pet fully inoculated and spayed or neutered. Often, this process results in the owner keeping the pet or finding him or her a new home. While we work to increase people’s sense of responsibility about their pets, we focus more of our resources on saving the lives of animals that are in one of the local pounds where their lives are at risk.
