Happy Thanksgiving

We are so thankful to all of our friends and family who choose to share their lives with shelter animals. VBACAC was gifted by Coco Cares to provide all our shelter dogs with a special Thanksgiving meal. #adopt #sharethelove #vbacac #vbpd #shelterdogs #givethanks

VBAS Caretaker “Dapper Dave” is making an appearance to show off one of his favorite adoptable cats… Ping Pong! Affectionately named for her initial reaction to being trapped and brought to the shelter, this young lady is hoping for a patient/quiet family. Shy cats are brought into the shelter daily, and while not your social butterfly kitty, they have a lot of love and companionship to offer if given the right home and time. Come by and meet our adoptable cats this weekend from 12-5 every day (OPEN MONDAY too!).

Aubrie has been with us a YEAR. This senior lady deserves a loving retirement home. She just got promoted to office assistant and was on her best behavior. ❤️ https://www.vbacac.com/animals/detail?AnimalID=19978306

Very Adoptable, Ike

Not all dogs can be as ✨mindful & demure✨ as Ike. He’s been at the shelter for almost a year and we truly don’t understand how he keeps getting overlooked. He’s dog-friendly, energetic, loves tennis balls, is house-trained, affectionate, friendly, and playful. Let’s find this guy a loving home! He’s overdue for his forever family ❤️ https://vbacac.com/animals/detail?AnimalID=19968619 #vbas #virginiabeach #adoptvb #hamptonroads #adoptdontshop #demure #mindful #verymindful #verydemure #adoptable #rescuedog #adoptadog #ilikeike #ike #ikeforlife #bestboy #bestestboy #petsmart #tennisballislife

Pretty Kitty and the bird

Pretty Kitty loves this new toy donated off of our wish list! She has been in shelter for a YEAR! She needs a home ready for an active minded cat who loves to make up games, even if it is sneak attacking your legs as you walk by. All in fun! Looking to adopt the coolest cat?! https://www.vbacac.com/animals/detail?AnimalID=18841214 Looking to help? Check out our wish list! https://www.vbacac.com/info/display?PageID=18009

Staff helped Ash celebrate a special 1st birthday today! While the shelter staff love this big boy and hoped he had a great celebration, we are equally saddened that he didnt get to celebrate it with a family of his own. Special thank you to WOOF GANG BAKERY for their help in making his day special! https://www.vbacac.com/animals/detail?AnimalID=20612249

Our adoption kennels are back open after epoxy resurfacing! We have the best decor you can enjoy in the adoption hallway thanks to some talented kiddos! We have over 100 dogs ready to find new homes!!!🏡

Happy official first day of summer!! ☀️ Stay cool, like Lana and Indigo 😎 https://www.vbacac.com/animals/detail?AnimalID=20551504 https://www.vbacac.com/animals/detail?AnimalID=19051278 Public service reminder: If it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for your pet. Take measures to keep your pet protected from the sun and heat exposure.
