Low-Cost Spay/Neuter Partnership

Pets for Life Pet Retention Program
The SPCA 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.

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.
