Surry County SPCA, Inc.
 

Beginning

The Surry SPCA became incorporated on October 12, 1993.  The SPCA was the brain child of long time Surry County resident, Joy Williams.  The SPCA does not run a shelter, but consists of a small group of volunteers working for the good of animals.

About Our Organization

The Surry County SPCA has been in existence since the summer of 1993. The SPCA was organized due to many stray dogs roaming the county, the numbers of feral cats at dumpsites, as well as the number of animals that were being found and picked up off the roadsides throughout the county. The SPCA believes that in order to reduce the number of unwanted and stray animals in Surry County, they must assist in the effort to spay or neuter as many animals as possible.

One of our goals is to educate the children of Surry County about animal care and responsibility. We provide KIND NEWS to the Surry County Elementary School, L.P. Jackson Middle School as well as Tidewater Academy Lower School. We fund educational programs for the schools as well. The Wildlife Center of Virginia provided a fall program at L.P. Jackson Middle School called "A View From The Top" on birds of prey. Local educators are also hired to provide school programs on pet care with assistance from their pets.

The Surry SPCA also provides spay/neuter assistance to Surry County and Sussex County residents. Working with other local agencies, we are able to assist in providing financial assistance for owners who spay and neuter their pets. The PETA mobile SNIP van has visited Surry several times. The PETA staff has been great and they and the mobile van are an asset to our community. To date, Surry SPCA assisted with payment or has paid for the spay and neuter of 163 dogs and 249 cats. If you are a resident of Surry or Sussex County and need spay/neuter financial assistance, call 757-294-3077.

You may also call the PETA mobile van for info on spay/neuter at 757-622-7382, ext. 1488. Petersburg/Colonial Heights SPCA also provides low cost spay/neuter assistance. They may be reached at 804-526-SPCA.

 

 
An animal shelter was opened in Surry County in June 1997. This facility is run by the County. The Surry SPCA works with the Animal Control Officer, Derrick Moore, to provide free spay/neuter assistance to Surry County residents. The shelter can be reached at 757-294-0158.
