There’s no working from home for our field team and volunteers. They’re out every day, in all weather conditions, making sure that dogs like Princess (below)—who are kept penned or chained (and sometimes both) outdoors 24/7—have food, water, shelter, and insulating straw bedding during the winter.
Batman, Pebbles, Cupcake, Bandit, and Max were among the 165 animals we transported free of charge to and from their no-cost spay/neuter appointments.
The proof is in the kisses! PETA’s free services empower guardians to keep their beloved animal companions happy and healthy.
Many of the animals PETA takes into our shelter are elderly, feral, sick, suffering, dying, aggressive, or otherwise unadoptable. We transfer the adoptable animals we don’t place ourselves to high-traffic, open-admission shelters for a chance at finding a new life.
Take Snowball, for instance: After many visits and much persistence, her owner agreed to surrender the young dog, who was kept on a chain. We transferred her to the Norfolk SPCA, where she was quickly adopted.
PETA’s field team does everything that it can to help animals in need—whether that means finding new homes for homeless or neglected animals or helping guardians keep and properly care for their animal companions.
We gave new wooden doghouses to “backyard dogs” like G.
In Norfolk and its surrounding areas, PETA is a part of the community.
We provided free end-of-life services, because every guardian—regardless of their means—should be able to ensure that their animal companion remains comfortable to the very end.
