Chesapeake Animal Services Unit

Patrick and Maria Nolan, proprietors of Bayside Kennels in Virginia Beach and The Ruff House Stay & Play in Chesapeake, created K9 Angels in 2019. Through discussions with other dog daycare/kennel owners, shelter directors, and hospital social services staff, it became abundantly clear that a nonprofit organization was required to help pet owners and patients who were forced to make the terrible choice of deciding between their health and their pet.

The Chesapeake Humane Society is a private, non-profit organization that strives to advance the welfare of companion animals in Hampton Roads. It is situated in the Great Bridge neighborhood of Chesapeake. Neither CHS nor any other animal welfare organizations established in Virginia nor any national humane organization receive any money from the government. Our programs and services are solely supported by the kind donations of private individuals and businesses. We work closely with Chesapeake Animal Services to help find homes for animals in the City shelter, despite the fact that we are neither affiliated with nor financed by the City of Chesapeake.

The next step was to rescue cats from kill shelters, vet them, and find them new homes. Trap Neuter Return is another service we offer to the public and those who want it.

The Hampton Roads region of Virginia's household companion animals are treated, rehabbed, and rehomed by the Norfolk SPCA, which also runs two public veterinary clinics.

The city's animal shelter is called NACC. Open admittance, our sanctuary offers a haven for animals from the City of Norfolk.

Our rescue facility offers a haven for stray dogs, providing them the time, attention, and love they need to find the right home, not just any home," says the organization.
