Founded in 1972, Chesapeake Humane Society is a non-profit organization that is managed by volunteers and funded by private donors - it does not receive government subsidies. The Society supports the homeless animals of Chesapeake in the following ways:

• Provides low-cost spay/neuter and vaccination services • Provides financial assistance to shelter animals in immediate medical need • Serves on the Chesapeake Animal Control Advisory Board • Lends countless volunteer hours to enhance the lives of shelter pets • Runs a media program that advertises adoptable pets • Hosts off-site adoption events to advertise adoptable pets • Makes an annual financial gift to Chesapeake Animal Services

The Chesapeake Humane Society works to promote the welfare of companion animals through programs and initiatives that reduce pet overpopulation, increase adoptions and encourage responsible pet guardianship through affordable pet care.

Our vision is to help pets and the people who love them find each other and stay together.
