FINANCIAL INFO & STATISTICS

“We are fortunate to have an organization like the Richmond SPCA that is setting the standard for other communities across the Commonwealth.”
Governor Timothy M. Kaine

The Richmond SPCA was founded in 1891. In 1999 the organization adopted a bold vision for the future, pledging to save the life of every healthy, homeless animal in the City of Richmond by 2008 through an emphasis on education, adoption, pet-retention, Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) and spay/neuter programs. This goal was accomplished two years early, and no healthy, homeless animal has lost his life in the City of Richmond since January 1, 2006. This success was also achieved in Hanover County, where no healthy, homeless animal has lost his life since January 1, 2009.
