Mission: Our goal is "to provide effective means for the prevention of cruelty to animals throughout the two cities and adjoining areas," according to the by-laws of the spca of petersburg and colonial heights, va. In order to do this, we: * provide a place for people to report suspected cruelty or need for intervention. We follow up on reports of cruelty or distress by working with city or county police. We address other measures, such as the need for new laws, affecting the welfare of all animals. * provide low-cost spay and neuter assistance in cooperation with area veterinarians to prevent a surplus of animals that would otherwise be destroyed. * provide medical assistance for treatment of ill or injured animals where suffering or death would occur, on a case-by-case basis. * participate in activities to find homes for adoptable shelter animals and work with other organizations toward that common goal. * provide trap rental and instruction to aid individuals in the trap
