FRIENDS OF NORFOLK ANIMAL CARE CENTER
Mission Statement: To support the Norfolk Animal Care Center in sheltering and caring for Norfolk's stray and homeless animals, to promote and facilitate adoptions, to assist with special medical care, to promote and support spay/neuter in the community and to educate the public about responsible pet ownership.
ADOPTABLE PETS OF THE DAY
The Norfolk Animal Care Center has many wonderful dogs, cats, bunnies, and other small animals needing to find loving families and forever homes. Please visit the shelter as new animals arrive every day.
SPAY & NEUTER
In 2010 and 2011, The Friends of the Norfolk Animal Care and Adoption Center assisted SpayHampton Roads in providing spay/neuter clinics in the Norfolk community. As a result, 278 cats and dogs in the community were spayed/neutered for free and a positive effort toward reducing the number of homeless animals was made.

The Friends of Norfolk Animal Care Center provide funds for special medical procedures that are needed by NACC shelter animals. This helps improve the animal's health and chances for adoption.
We are so pleased to report that our little Minnow has found a forever home! Thanks so much for your support and contributions which have allowed us to provide medical treatment for our animals in need.
