Street Dog Coalition

The Richmond SPCA actively supports the Richmond chapter of Street Dog Coalition, which is an organization that provides free veterinary care to the pets of people experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Along with free veterinary care, Street Dog Coalition offers a pet pantry that is stocked with pet supplies including pet food, collars, leashes, toys and bedding.

Shop the Street Dog Coalition wish list on Amazon and help us support Richmond community pets and their people.

The goal of this wish list is to collect personal supplies for the people attending these clinics. We are hoping to collect items such as over-the-counter medications, hygiene products, clothing and non-perishable foods. Along with advocating for Street Dog Coalition, we are donating space at our shelter to act as a hub for the donated items.
