About Us
The Southside SPCA is an independent, donor-supported, nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to the welfare of companion animals in Southside Virginia. We are not affiliated with the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) or any other state or national animal welfare organization
We have provided rescue, shelter, medical treatment, spay/neuter, and adoption services to over 45,000 puppies, kittens, cats, and dogs since we began operating in 1975. We are a no-kill shelter operating mostly with volunteers. We serve twelve largely rural, economically depressed counties in Southside Virginia, including Amelia, Appomattox, Brunswick, Buckingham, Charlotte, Cumberland, Dinwiddie, Halifax, Lunenburg, Mecklenburg, Nottoway, and Prince Edward.
