About Us
Founded in 1972, Chesapeake Humane Society is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that is funded by private donors – we do not receive government subsidies. The Society supports the homeless and underserved animals of Chesapeake in the following ways:
• Providing low-cost veterinary services including spay/neuter, dental cleanings, soft tissue surgeries, and vaccination services
• Operating an adoption program for dogs, cats, and small animals
• Assisting families in need by providing temporary boarding and medical care for pets through our Crisis Boarding program
• Providing resources and case management services to families experiencing hardship
• Distributing food through our Pet Food Pantry and our Little (human) Food Pantry
• Serving on the Chesapeake Animal Services Advisory Board
Our MISSION is to break down barriers and build connections for pets and people through supportive services, innovative programs, collaborative partnerships, and thoughtful leadership.
Our VISION is to cultivate a humane community that fosters compassion and strengthens the human-animal bond.
