Resources

If you are leaving a situation of domestic violence and want to enroll your pets in the SAAF program, please first contact one of these participating shelters:

Your caseworker will then contact the Richmond SPCA to coordinate temporary shelter of your pets with an approved, undisclosed foster care provider at no cost to you. The Richmond SPCA will maintain confidentiality of any information received from the shelter.

  • In accordance with the mission of the Richmond SPCA, your pet(s) will be placed in a safe and caring environment for the length of your stay in the shelter.
  • Food, water and veterinary care will be provided for your pet during your stay in the shelter. The Richmond SPCA will spay/neuter pets that are not sterilized at no charge to you.
  • We cannot permit guardians to visit their pets while the pets are in foster care. We assure you that your pet will receive plenty of love and attention until you are in a position to reunite with him or her.
  • The Richmond SPCA reserves the right to limit the number of pets accepted based on the availability of foster care providers and reserves the right to refuse the sheltering of any pet deemed aggressive or otherwise unmanageable.
