The Eastern Shore SPCA is open for visitors 10am-3pm. Stop by and meet lovable Bridgette and her adoptable friends!

About Bridgette 
Hey there, I’m Bridgette and I’m certainly a mix of several breeds. Maybe some lab, hound, rotti, and probably a few others. I’m a happy girl, weighing 35 lbs. I have short legs but am a full-bodied gal. I am around 4-5 years old.

I go outside to play with 2 other girls here and do quite well with them. I haven’t been around cats or children yet.
I am heartworm negative and on prevention. I’m up to date on vaccines and dewormings.

I will be spayed March 19 and can only be adopted by Accomack or Northampton county residents until after I’ve had my surgery.

Stop by the SPCA of the Eastern Shore 10am-2:30pm and meet sweet Jordan and her adoptable friends.

Hi, I’m Jordan and I’m only a 4 months old little girl. I’m a lovely shepherd mix, but probably will stay medium size, as I only weigh 22 lbs. now.

I was only 6 weeks old when I came here several weeks ago, and had lots of hair loss, but have been on medicine and had lots of baths and my hair has grown back.

I am a timid girl who isn’t suited to a home with children and I’ve not met any cats yet. I go outside with my doggie friends here and I would make a wonderful, playful companion pup for you!

I’ll probably take a few visits to get to know new people. I have been spayed and I’m up to date on vaccines, as well as starting preventions.

Can you believe this girl hasn’t found her FOREVER family yet? Gemma is looking for her very own special people. She so much wants to lay at your feet, hang out in the garden with you or take a ride around town.

If you would like more information on Foster or adoping the special girl contact Robin at robinv@dogsdeservebetter.org

Sweet Louie would love to meet you! We are open for visitors today 10am-3pm so please stop by and let this love-bug show you what a good boy he is!

About Louie 
Hi, I’m Louie and I’m a sweet boy. I’m shepherd/husky mix, with maybe some hound in there too. I’m only about 1 year old and weigh 50 lbs, so I may put on a little more weight.

This picture does not show just how gorgeous I am in person, so stop by and see me for yourself.

I’m still getting used to being inside, so most noises spook me a little. Because of this and my size, I’m better suited to a home with no small children.

I tested negative for heartworms and have started prevention, am up to date on vaccines and have been neutered.

Donations Needed‼️

The Eastern Shore SPCA is in desperate need of bleach BUT now we have 7 infant chi mixes that are starting to eat so Pure Balance SMALL Breed dry food is also greatly needed!

Can you help us help them? They can accept donations 10am-3pm. Anything you can donate is greatly appreciated!! 

Puppies!!! Introducing the first of many pups who are in need of loving homes. Can you open your heart to giving this sweet girl your love? Visit today 10am-3pm.

About Randi 
Hi, I’m Randi and I’m only 10 weeks old. I’m a Walker hound and although small now, I’ll be a nice medium size (35-45 lbs) when I’m fully grown. I am here with 5 siblings and our mother, all looking for our forever family.

I will be spayed Feb 14, and up to date on age appropriate vaccines. I’ve been dewormed a couple of times, as well. Hopefully I’ll recover quickly from surgery and be able to go home the next day.

We are an active breed who needs to have plenty of exercise; we’re also known for counter-surfing (which a lot of breeds do), and we like getting up high. We can be pretty good at escaping enclosures, so be wary of leaving us unattended in a fenced yard.

We’ve got super personalities and love people, and usually other dogs. We’re not usually very good off leash as we’re apt to follow our nose and wind up miles away from home.

THE SHELTER IS AT FULL CAPACITY – so your shares, comments and likes are extremely important right now.

Stop by 10am-3pm and meet Jo Jo and his adoptable friends.

*Some of our puppies are still to young to be handled so please understand that you can view them but no touching.

About Jo Jo 
Hi, I’m Jo Jo and I’m only 12 weeks old. I’m a very tiny Chihuahua mix boy, weighing only 3 lbs at this young age.

I will gain more weight as I grow but should still be small when I’m fully grown.

I am a real sweetheart! I love everyone I meet and love to cuddle. I’ve started vaccines and will be neutered Feb 13th.

Southside Daily reports that Sali Gear, founder of Island Dog Rescue in Virginia Beach, has evacuated close to 40 dogs from Puerto Rico due to the continued earthquakes.

And with the support of partners like Yorktown-based, Village Dog Resource, to foster and rehome the dogs once they land in the continental U.S., Gear said she plans to do it again for over 50 more dogs in the coming weeks.

See dogs and find out more here.

“I need a place to put dogs so the partnership is really a win-win,” she said. “My niche is transportation, selecting, and vetting dogs, they know they’re getting dogs with solid medical treatment.”

Village Dog Resource is advertising at least nine of the pups that are available for adoption but there are others who after surviving back-to-back natural disasters and travel abroad, just aren’t ready yet.

Julia Kay operates the foster program and described “Simon,” who she said was already shy but “didn’t handle the transport very well.”

Since Dec. 28, earthquakes and aftershocks up to a magnitude 6.4 have continued to shake the ground in Puerto Rico with the most recent measuring a magnitude 4.5 on Monday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. 

“A message from one of my rescuers…her voice was cracking and broken and you hear her say ‘we’re scared, we’re stressed, I don’t know what I would do if I had to leave my home and my dog,’” Gear said. “We’re helping people rehome their dogs that they can’t take care of.”

Kay said Village Dog Resource is not only looking for adopters but as more animal refugees come in, the organization is also looking for volunteers who can foster and transport pets, contingent on a satisfactory home visit, veterinary “background check,” and application.

“All adoptions come with a built-in week-long trial period at your home. We never want anyone keeping a dog ‘just because,’ we aim for perfection,” according to the organization’s website.
