Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Partnership

The WASPCA believes that every pet deserves and family and every family deserves a pet and that no family should be forced to surrender their pet due to a temporary financial issue. Pets for Life, a full service pet retention program, was designed to ensure pets stay out of the over crowded shelter system and with the families that love them. Pet food and emergency financial assistance for pet related issues are available to pet owners in Winchester, Frederick, and Clarke counties as funds allow.

The Winchester Area SPCA believes that every pet deserves a second chance. All adoptions include spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchip, flea/tick treatment, initial de-worming, take home box or leash, and one vet exam at a participating veterinary office. Adoption fees range from $95 to $125 and adoption specials are hosted monthly.

Data
  • We disaggregate data to adjust programming goals to keep pace with changing needs of the communities we support.
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
Policies and processes
  • We have community representation at the board level, either on the board itself or through a community advisory board.
  • We help senior leadership understand how to be inclusive leaders with learning approaches that emphasize reflection, iteration, and adaptability.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
