About Southside Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals

Love knows no boundaries Founded in 1975, we are an independent, donor-supported 503(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to the welfare of companion animals in Southside Virginia. We are a no-kill organization and operate a shelter in Meherrin, Virginia, with capacity for 50 dogs, 12 litters of puppies, and 55 cats and kittens. Each year, we rescue, care for, adopt, and spay and neuter over 3,000 animals in our mostly rural, 12-county area.
