Friends of Virginia Beach Animal Control Meetup Group 4.50 4.504
Founded
December 13, 2007

Since Virginia Beach Animal Control is a part of the municipal government, their jobs and duties are clearly defined.
Unfortunately, when an animal arrives in a municipal shelter, there is little in the way of proactive adoption advocacy that these kinds of shelters can offer.
Many times when ACO's or shelter staff have a great idea that might help the animals, the resources just aren't provided by the city budget or as is often the case, the numbers of animals coming into the shelters is overwhelming..
That is where Friends of Virginia Beach Animal Control can help!

Our group is dedicated to finding those extra resources or volunteers to help as many animals find good homes as possible.
We take the animals to public events and volunteer our time in the Virginia Beach Animal Control shelter, spending time with these, often lonely and frightened animals, greeting members of the public who might be interested in a certain pet, exercising dogs and bringing material donation to the shelter.
Our group is small, but our goals are big and we need the help of dedicated animal lovers who want to make a difference in the life of a shelter pet!

 It is a very positive group working hard to place good animals in good homes. More volunteers are needed for this effort.
