Programs

We help achieve our mission through various programs:

Homebound Hounds
The most successful of our adoption programs, which saves over a thousand puppies from Southside Virginia each year while filling the need for mixed breed puppies in New England.

SOS Penpals
Through this award-winning program, dogs are trained and cared for by selected inmates, and then adopted into loving homes.

PAWS Program
Through this pet sponsorship program, you can help an individual animal at the Southside SPCA shelter without having to worry about pet hair on your furniture.

Tail Waggers Thrift Store
Our thrift store is devoted to supporting the Southside SPCA through the sale of goods donated by our volunteers and supporters and presents the opportunity to educate the public about our shelter and its mission.

Our Mission

Our ultimate mission is to find a good home for every dog and cat throughout the twelve counties we serve, while eliminating the unwanted pet population through active participation with spay/neuter programs and community education.
