I knew that the Norfolk SPCA had been around a very long time, my first rescue dog as a child came from the Norfolk SPCA, and that was a looong time ago!  

But did you know they had been around serving our community since 1892?

The Norfolk SPCA needs community support from people like you to provide dogs, cats and small animals, quality veterinary care and new loving homes.

Below are 9 ways you can support the Norfolk SPCA and forever changes the lives of animals and quite possibly, yours!

You can find more information and even MORE ways to give on their Donation Page.

Tribute donations--Make a gift on behalf of a special friend in honor of a special occasion. 
Memorial cards--Donate in memory of a deceased person or pet, and we will send a sympathy card noting your kindness. 
Hope Fund--This special fund ensures that we can provide medical care when a shelter animal needs assistance that our clinics are unable to provide. 
Monthly giving--Sign up to be a monthly contributor.

Corporate support--See if your employer will consider sponsoring an event or program of the Norfolk SPCA or will match your own gifts.
