In order to help process your request for information faster, please refer to the animal's cage number (cats) or kennel number (for dogs). This will assist us in locating the information about the animal you are referring to.

Applicants wishing to adopt an unaltered animal must reside in Virginia Beach, Virginia or an adjacent political district.  If an animal has been spayed or neutered, he/she can be adopted to a resident outside the cities of Virginia Beach, Norfolk, and Chesapeake and even out of state.  All unaltered animals, or whose status is unknown, must be adopted by a resident of Virginia Beach, Norfolk, or Chesapeake pursuant to Code of Virginia section § 3.1-796.96.C-3 and § 3.1-796.96.C-4.
