If interested in visiting the shelter to meet a dog or cat, please email the shelter at info@southsidespca.org
Chaka is an amazingly intelligent dog . . .she will sit, lay down, "dance" and shake on command. She is also wonderful on a leash - she heels like a dream. This dog has unlimited potential and would surely excell in obedience training, agility dog anyone?
She loves EVERYONE and will give kisses all day!! She does however like to be the alpha dog, so she will not accept any other aggressive dogs. She does seem to have a lot of interest in cats, and although she has not shown any aggession we would air on the side of caution.
Everyone that meets this young girl is in awe of her gorgeous coat and sweet disposition. Is she your perfect match? You can meet Chaka at our adoption on Saturday at the PetSmart on Midlothian Turnpike in Richmond's Southside or email the shelter for more information!

We are raising funds for our new shelter, scheduled to open in early 2008. Construction is almost complete and we need your help with furnishings, supplies, and volunteers. We also accept donations for our Thrift Store in Keysville, Tail Waggers. Thrift Store proceeds go to the shelter, too. Our next goal to achieve is equipment for a spay/neuter clinic onsite!
4/27/08: Our First Annual Open House!! Coming soon.. check back for details.
10/27/07: Our Dedication Ceremony on Sunday was a great success! Nearly 200 sponsors, volunteers, donors and friends visited and were on hand for the dedication of the three buildings. The main building will open in early 2008.
Please help us finish our new shelter and install a much-needed spay/neuter clinic! Donations can be sent to Southside SPCA, P.O. Box 66, Meherrin, VA 23954.
We have chosen Kuranda dog beds for our animal shelter because they are so good for our dogs. We still don't have enough for all of our kennels. If you would like to donate a bed so another dog can sleep in proper comfort, please click here.
Who We Are
Southside SPCA is a no-kill, non-profit animal shelter in south central Virginia, in operation since 1975, serving 12 rural counties , and run entirely on donations. We are located 60 miles west of Richmond. We provide love, humane care and shelter for abandoned animals and strive to provide them with loving, responsible homes. We do not use any extreme temperament tests, nor do we believe in euthanasia as a means to control the pet overpopulation problem. Our dogs are carefully evaluated, if there are any behavioral problems they are addressed prior to adoption.
Matching dogs/cats and families that are compatible is our priority. We promote spay/neuter programs and do our best to educate the public about this ever-present problem. No animal leaves our shelter's system unaltered. Please spay and neuter your pets. There are many programs that provide low cost spay/neuter. This is the only way to reduce the euthanasia of adoptable pets.

We hold dog adoptions every Saturday from 10:30 am to 2:30 pm at PETsMART Carmia Way, Chesterfield (off Midlothian Turnpike). Adoptions at the shelter are by appointment only.

If you would like to visit the shelter, contact Sandy Wyatt at (434) 736-9595, email info@southsidespca.org.
