Make a difference.
Net proceeds from the Dog Jog, 5K and Block Party support our lifesaving programs. Each year the Richmond SPCA saves the lives of about 4,000 homeless pets. We also assist thousands of pets and people through crucial programs like our free pet pantry, Behavior Helpline, full-service, low cost veterinary hospital, low-cost and free spay and neuter clinic, crisis boarding and more.
