The Virginia Beach SPCA is one of 55 shelters nationwide to participate in the Pets for the Elderly Foundation’s program that allows senior citizens to adopt a pet at a reduced charge. A portion of the adoption fee (currently $50) is covered by the Pets for the Elderly Foundation. Adopters are, however, responsible for any additional costs such as collars, leashes, rabies vaccinations, extra medical tests or services, spay/neuter surgery, etc. For more information, contact customerservice@vbspca.com.
