While we may not offer public emergency services regularly, that doesn’t mean emergencies don’t happen here.

Behind the scenes, there are animals fighting for their lives, recovering from surgery, needing medications, feedings, monitoring, and comfort at all hours of the day and night. The work doesn't stop when the doors close.

We're incredibly grateful for our staff who hustle through packed days at the shelter and clinic, caring for the constant flow of animals that depend on us, and then continue that same dedication long after most people have gone home. Whether it's a busy day full of adoptions, appointments, and animal care, or a late night emergency with a hospitalized patient, they show up with compassion, determination, and a genuine love for the animals we serve.

They are truly the heartbeat of our mission, and we could not do this work without them.

And if you're wondering what fuels this incredible team through the long days and even longer nights... let's just say coffee, Gatorade, popsicles, and chocolate are always appreciated. 😉❤️☕🥤🍫🐾

To our staff: thank you for every early morning, late night, extra shift, and act of kindness. The lives you save matter more than you'll ever know.

🐾 “Wait… I can’t come?” 🥺

Hadley is feeling a little left out after finding out she can’t attend the Kendra Gives Back Event tonight… but it would cheer her up if you all came instead! 💙

Every purchase made at tonight’s event gives 20% back to the shelter to help care for animals like Hadley while they wait for their forever homes. From medical care and enrichment to cozy beds and treats, your shopping trip can make a real difference.

Can’t make it in person? You can still help by shopping online using code: GIVEBACK-LOSCI tonight & tomorrow.

So come have fun, treat yourself, and help us turn this sad face into a happy one. 🐶✨

Hadley is a 2 month old hound mix, and she's ready to go home with you today! Adoption hours are from 12:30 pm until 6:00 pm 7 days a week at 916 Ballentine Blvd, Norfolk VA 23504.

🥳We're excited to share that our Parvo puppies have fought their way through to recovery and are now available for adoption. After 15 long days of treatment, isolation, cleaning protocols, and around-the-clock care, these resilient pups are healthy, happy, and ready to find their forever families. ❤

Their improvement meant that we were able to say "YES" to a transfer of animals from another shelter, where many were at high risk due to overcrowding and limited resources. Because of your support, we were able to step in and bring them to safety here at the Norfolk SPCA. Below are a few of the sweet faces that are now getting the care, stability, and second chance they deserve. 🐶🐱

As these animals become available, we want to remind everyone that our adoption process is available online here: https://norfolkspca.com/adoption-process/. Completed applications must be submitted in person at the shelter. Please keep in mind that submitting an application does not guarantee an adoption, as all applications must be reviewed and approved. Because we are unable to place animals on hold, the first approved applicant will have the opportunity to adopt. ✅

⚠ If you’ve been thinking about adopting, this is the sign you've been waiting for. Every adoption creates space for us to continue saving more lives. 🐾

We'd like to give a heartfelt THANK YOU to Kathy King for her incredible generosity in sponsoring the Norfolk SPCA throughout the month of May! 💙🐾

Kathy is an amazing friend to the Norfolk SPCA; and she regularly steps up to support us as a foster parent. (Her current foster kittens are pictured below) Her sponsorship for the month of May covered the spay and neuter surgeries needed for the animals in our care, helping us give homeless pets a healthier future while preventing accidental litters in our community.

Because of supporters like Kathy, we’re able to continue providing lifesaving care to animals as they wait for their forever homes. Please join us in showing Kathy some love and appreciation for making such a meaningful impact! 🐶🐱✨

Some stories never make it to the front page… but they are happening behind the scenes every single day. 🩵

This tiny kitten came into our care at just 1 day old. He was orphaned, fragile, and born without eyes. His future was uncertain from the very beginning.

But giving up was never an option.

Our team moved quickly to find him a surrogate mama cat who accepted him as one of her own. Since then, he has been surrounded by constant love and care from our staff, fosters, and supporters who make cases like his possible.

And today?
He is thriving. 🐾

He may never see the world the way other kittens do, but he knows warmth, safety, full bellies, gentle hands, and love. So much love.

Cases like this are the part of rescue many people never see the overnight bottle feedings, emergency medical care, foster coordination, medications, monitoring, and the emotional investment that goes into every tiny life fighting for a chance.

Every donation, every foster home, every share, every person cheering these animals on helps make stories like his possible.

This is why we do what we do.
For the vulnerable.
For the forgotten.
For the ones who deserve a chance, no matter the odds. We thank you for your support!
