Give Local 757 – May 6, 2025

Every pet deserves a safe, comfortable place to rest while they wait for their forever home. However, during the coldest part of winter, our heating and air conditioning system failed, and we have an urgent need for a complete replacement of our HVAC system. We need to raise $310,000 by mid-May to be able to restore heat and AC to our cat and dog kennels.

In the meantime, we are running temporary, portable heaters that are very costly. We are also looking ahead to the hot summer months and need to replace our HVAC system as soon as possible.

A friend to the animals and the Peninsula SPCA, Shelley Fink-Brackett, has pledged a donation match of $10,000 during Give Local 757, which means all donations up to $10,000 raised on May 6, 2025, 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. Over the last 5 years, 4,894 pets got the second chance they deserved through these services alone. In this past year, the Peninsula SPCA has saved over 1,100 lives, performed over 1,300 spay/neuter surgeries, and vaccinated more than 750 pets. In addition, PSPCA continues to expand our humane education offerings, reaching over 6,500 students and families in 2024. 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.
