No More Chasin' Tails

In January 2015, the Peninsula SPCA, which has served the Peninsula communities with shelter and adoption services for more than 50 years, bravely changed course and became an adoption guarantee or "no kill" shelter. Since then, the Peninsula SPCA has been able to increase the range of services it offers to the Peninsula community, adding humane education initiatives and preventive veterinarian care to its adoption services.

Four distinct Hampton Roads communities—Newport News, Hampton, Poquoson, and York County—have joined forces to assist the Peninsula Regional Animal Shelter (PRAS). The City of Newport News manages and runs this cutting-edge, 30,000 square foot facility on behalf of the four counties.

Animal Aid Society (AAS) is a no kill dog shelter & a licensed 501(c)3 nonprofit located in Hampton, Virginia. Since its foundation in 1971, AAS has helped numerous stray, abandoned, and abused dogs find their happily ever after in Coastal Virginia.

Our goal for these animals is a safe place that will offer them food, shelter, medical attention, rehabilitation, adoption opportunities, and most importantly, love. Poquoson Animal Welfare Sanctuary, Inc. is committed to the rescue and placement of abandoned, abused, and neglected cats in and around Poquoson, VA.

In Hampton, Virginia, there is a charity no-kill shelter for cats called The Cat Corner. We are entirely dependent on the kindness of our community and supporters and get no local or governmental assistance.

Our goal is to help the community with issues related to animal care, including troubled, neglected, and dangerous animals. County and state laws are enforced by us.
