Did you know that one in three pets will get lost in their lifetime?

Without identification, 90 percent will never return home. Returning lost pets to their owners is an important part of the SPCA’s lifesaving mission. That’s why the SPCA offers clinics for your pet to receive a rabies vaccine or microchip.

Rabies vaccine: $25 | With proof of public assistance: $15
Distemper vaccine (DAPP for dogs, FVRCP+C for cats): $25 I With proof of public assistance: $15
Microchip: $30 | With proof of public assistance: $25
Rabies & Distemper Vaccination & Microchip together: $65 | With proof of public assistance: $45

A current rabies vaccine is required by Virginia State Law for all cats and dogs over four months of age. Bring your pet’s proof of previous rabies vaccination to receive a three-year rabies vaccine certificate.

The SPCA also hosts Compassionate Care Clinics throughout the year for clients on public assistance. Preference is given to residents of Albemarle County and Charlottesville City. Clients on assistance are encouraged to attend the Compassionate Care Clinics to receive wellness vet exams and preventative services.
