James City County Animal Control

The Heritage Humane Society acts as a loving custodian for stray and surrendered animals seeking permanent homes. We advocate for animal welfare, provide reasonably priced adoption services, and educate the public about humane animal care and treatment.

The Middle Peninsula's towns are served by the open-admission, nonprofit Gloucester-Mathews Humane Society (GMHS).

Surry County Animal Control's goal is to humanely uphold Virginia state law and Surry County ordinances as they relate to domestic animals and the general public's health, safety, and welfare.

A Taste of Heaven Sanctuary is a non-profit, entirely volunteer-run organization that helps stray cats and canines in Charles City County, Virginia.

A nonprofit low-cost spay and neuter clinic's goal is to reduce homelessness and senseless euthanasia in our shelters by offering low-cost spay/neuter services to the general public and rescue organizations.

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.
