December 2024 Pet Of The Week Sponsor!

During December, we decided to sponsor the Pet of the Week ourselves!

We have several initiatives going to round out the year and lead the RHSPCA into a position of success for 2025! Our End of Year fundraising goal is $125,000 and we already have a lead gift of $25,000. You will see social media posts, pop-up ads, and newsletter mentions about our end of year fund drive. In addition, you will hear Public Service Announcements about your Rockingham Harrisonburg SPCA on local radio reminding the public to support our work in the community for pets and people.

We also embarked on an ambitious plan, Home for the Holidays: 400 adoptions in 40 days and are on our way to meet this goal. Along with finding 400 forever homes in such a short time, we are trying to decrease the population of the shelter before the beginning of 2025 to around 200 animals.

Giving Tuesday is the International Day of Giving, always the first Tuesday of December. We are participating and hope to have your support on Giving Tuesday.

The RHSPCA Annual Festival of Trees and Gifts Auction begins the day after Thanksgiving and goes through December 8. We hope that you can participate and find a wonderful Holiday gift for yourself or a loved one. All proceeds go to the Rockingham-Harrisonburg SPCA.

The future is indeed bright for the pets at the Rockingham-Harrisonburg SPCA and we look forward to sharing it with the people of Rockingham County and Harrisonburg, Virginia in 2025.
