Virginia Beach SPCA
Mission
It is the mission of the Virginia Beach Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (VBSPCA) to create a more humane and responsible community by eliminating animal suffering while increasing human compassion. Founded in 1966, the VBSPCA takes in and cares for almost 2,000 homeless domestic animals each year, preparing them for the best possible adoption outcome. Our outreach and humane education programs serve almost 7,500 children each year through our Pawsitive Press quarterly newsletters, virtual Animal Hero Arcade on our website, Tale for Two reading programs in the shelter, Compassion Classroom and Listening Ears programming in schools, and shelter tours. We take in wildlife animals and provide triage and referral to rehabilitation as needed. Our Low Cost Veterinary Clinic provides affordable spay/neuter services, specialty surgeries, and dentals as well as routine veterinary care for the lifetime of our community's pets - over 18,000 active clients annually with over 7,500 clinic visits each year.
Vision
We envision a future in which every animal's needs are met in order to live a happy and healthy life.
Goals
- 1.Adopt more animals into loving and lasting homes-increase foot traffic and adoption rates. Continue to raise funds for the Medical Miracle Fund for the animals of our shelter to ensure proper medical care for healthy and affordable adoption candidates at all times. Maintain a live release rate of >90%. Increase clinic capacity to serve over 20,000 with accessible, affordable services.
- 2.Optimize the use of our current facility for operations, with newly expanded veterinary clinic and surgical spaces. Replace our current veterinary mobile unit with a custom unit designed to reach underserved areas with spay/neuter and wellness services. Acquire satellite clinic space for the purpose of vaccine and wellness clinic services.
- 3.Increase fundraising revenue with direct mail appeals and major donor engagements for donor acquisition and retention. Hold events in person, such as our Puttin’ for Paws golf tournament fall and our annual Gala in the spring to heighten visibility of our mission and create lifelong ambassadors. Collaborate with regional animal welfare organizations to share expertise and best practices.
