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
• Offering financial assistance to shelter animals and pets at risk of surrender in immediate medical need
• Serving on the Chesapeake Animal Services Advisory Board
• Lending countless volunteer hours to enhance the lives of shelter pets
• Operating an adoption program for dogs, cats, and small animals
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.
