What is the point of having two shelters in Virginia Beach?
Animal Control enforces the city ordinances pertaining to animals, and picks up stray, injured, or deceased animals from the streets. The VBSPCA has no trucks, and we do not pick up animals. Seventy percent of the animals at our shelter are turned in by their owners. We provide shots, grooming and medical care as needed, and lots of TLC. When we take in a pet, we find out all we can about his or her disposition and habits, so that we can find a suitable, permanent home. The VBSPCA also performs many other important community services.
