Giving Tuesday
2025-12-02
Giving Tuesday, a global day of giving following Back Friday and Cyber Monday, is an opportunity for the community to take a moment from the hustle and bustle of the holiday season to celebrate generosity and the gift of giving back.
The Peninsula SPCA saves over 1,000 pets in our community every year by providing shelter, medical care, and finding forever homes. Adoption fees only cover a small portion of these costs when caring for our shelter pets, with medical care being by far the largest expense we face. In fact, the Peninsula SPCA spends more than $100,000 on medical care for shelter pets every year. This year especially, the Peninsula SPCA spent an additional $20,000 on testing and treatments when canine influenza closed our kennels for over 4 months. For Giving Tuesday, we’re asking for your help to raise funds to cover the medical care expenses we are facing.
This year on Giving Tuesday, we are asking for your help to provide much needed medical care to pets who come to us in need. ​​​​​​We are committed to the health and happiness of all animals that come to the Peninsula SPCA, and we need your help to continue to provide this level of care. This is why we are excited to announce that all donations made for Giving Tuesday will be MATCHED, which means a $50 donation will automatically become $100!
Your donation will save a life!
Donate Today
As our special thank you, gifts of $100 or more will receive a complimentary Peninsula SPCA 2026 Pet Photo Wall Calendar!

The Peninsula SPCA is a no-kill shelter dedicated to finding loving homes for every animal in our care and to advocating for the humane treatment of all animals in our community.

During Give Local 757, we’re asking for your help to raise $10,000 in funds to help cover the medical care expenses we are facing.
The Peninsula SPCA saves over 1,000 pets in our community every year by providing shelter, medical care, and finding forever homes. Adoption fees only cover a small portion of these costs when caring for our shelter pets, with medical care being by far the largest expense we face. In fact, the Peninsula SPCA spends more than $100,000 on medical care for shelter pets every year.
You can help animals in need like:

Here’s how you can help:

$50 Provides a rabies vaccine for a shelter pet.

Your donation will save a life!
A friend to the animals and the Peninsula SPCA, Shelley Fink-Brackett, has pledged a donation match of $5,000 during Give Local 757, which means all donations up to $5,000 raised during Give Local will be MATCHED dollar-for-dollar, doubling the impact you can make!

Did you know that the Peninsula SPCA relies solely on community donations to operate?
We are a private, nonprofit, “adoption-guarantee” or no-kill animal shelter that is not affiliated with the ASPCA or other national organizations. Thanks to the support of animal lovers like you, we have become a safety net for the Peninsula’s most vulnerable pets, taking in pets whose owners could no longer care for them and reducing euthanasia in over-crowded shelters through our transfer program. The Peninsula SPCA devotes its time and resources to finding forever homes for the animals in our care and to and to advocate for the humane treatment of all animals in our community. This organization receives no public funding and relies on the community for support to keep the benefit of an adoption-guarantee shelter alive for the Virginia Peninsula community’s citizens and pets.
By supporting the Peninsula SPCA you are truly Giving Local!
