Veterans and First Responders Discount

The Charlottesville-Albemarle SPCA is proud to offer adoptions for veterans, active duty military, police, EMS and fire-fighters at a reduced fee. These groups can visit the shelter and choose from any of our animals available for adoption and receive 25% off their adoption fee.

Veterans and first responders interested in participating are encouraged to visit the shelter and/or complete an adoption request form online. As with all adoptions at the SPCA, pets will be matched with adopters based on the application completed and adoption counseling. Veterans will need to present proof of military service along with a driver’s license.
Proof of military service can be in the form of a military ID card, a veteran ID card, a DD form 214, or a driver’s license with a veteran indicator.

Companion animals can provide veterans and first responders with a great deal of comfort.
By encouraging adoptions among veterans, the SPCA has a great opportunity to positively impact the veterans and first responders community.
