Since 1916, the Roanoke Valley SPCA has made the welfare of homeless and unwanted animals a priority and in 1958 the RVSPCA became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.


Our mission is to protect and enhance the quality of life of animals and the people they touch.

In 1959, the RVSPCA moved into a converted farmhouse (built in 1917) located in a flood plain close to the banks of Tinker Creek. Expansion occurred in 1971 when the Shaftman Wing was added to the facility. Floods in 1984, 1985, and 1992 caused significant and increasing damage to the building. With leadership and support, private funds were raised for the construction of the Roanoke Valley SPCA, a no-kill, limited admission adoption and education shelter and the current facility was opened in February 2004.

We provide a safe environment for lost, abandoned and homeless animals and strive to set a standard of excellence and leadership in animal care, humane education and progressive animal welfare programs.

We annually provide food, shelter, rehabilitation and medical treatment for nearly 2,000 homeless animals. Prior to adoption, all animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, receive medical care and behavioral training and all vaccinations, including rabies, are brought up-to-date.

We have worked very hard to implement programs and deliver services that help ensure that every animal in our care can be adopted into a permanent loving home. To save even more animals, the Roanoke Valley SPCA provides life-saving foster care for underage, under-socialized and sick animals. We promote animal welfare through programs and services that mutually benefit people and animals.
