Crisis Boarding

Temporary Pet Boarding

For families in crisis

Facing an emergency? We provide trusted, temporary boarding and essential vet care to your pet at no cost, keeping them safe and healthy while you work toward a path back home.

Our temporary boarding program is available for pet owners who are experiencing hospitalization or a medical emergency, facing housing insecurity or displacement, and/or survivors of domestic violence seeking safety.

If you’re navigating one of these situations, please contact our Pet Support Services team to learn more about how we can support you and your pet.

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:

Safe Harbor
safeharborshelter.com
804-287-7877

Hanover Safe Place

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.
