The Virginia Federation of Humane Societies (VFHS) is a non-profit organization founded in March of 1959. Membership is open to animal welfare organizations such as humane societies, SPCAs, rescue organizations, and sanctuaries, as well as animal control agencies, veterinarians, and other concerned individuals.


VFHS is devoted to collaborating with and providing resources for our members to improve animal welfare. Primary among our goals is reducing the euthanasia of healthy and treatable animals in Virginia. We believe that this is possible and strive to work with our members to create the resources to reach this goal: increasing access to affordable spay/neuter options; increasing access to education and information; supporting trap-neuter-return (TNR) as a humane means of caring for and controlling our community cat population; and advocating for legislative and other solutions to the problems of animal cruelty and pet overpopulation.

Spay Virginia Project

Spay Virginia is a project of the Virginia Federation of Humane Societies. Our goal is to work with shelters, local governments, rescue groups and private veterinarians to provide pet owners and caregivers in Virginia with access to convenient and affordable spay/neuter services.

Working together we can end pet overpopulation in Virginia.
