We adopted a very sweet dog from the Fredericksburg Animal Shelter. She was described as a 7-year-old mixed breed who enjoyed playing but was also happy to sit quietly indoors with us. We are an elderly couple and reside in an over 55 community, so we did not want a dog that was too energetic. She is a sweet dog, and we love her and are trying our best to work with her. That is the good part. Hint: We found a vet who agreed to work with us/her. The vet prescribed Prozac for anxiety. NOW! This SPCA seems to be a sloppy organization. 1. When we got there, a staff member pointed to a door and said that we could go there and see the animals. We didn't need a lot of directions, but we had to find the dogs on our own by following our own noses. 2. We had to wait a long time to meet the dog. 3. The answer to every question about the dog was, "I don't know." 4. The paperwork we received about the dog described her as 2 years old and gray. Her age on the cage was 7 and she IS brown. When the inaccuracy of the paperwork was brought to their attention, the answer was "that's ok". 5. We were ignorant and just accepted the mixed breed description. Mixed breed, perhaps but many people have stated that she looks like a pit. This has caused us a lot of grief in our over 55 community. 6. We were told her bad points are she doesn't like her butt touched & is afraid of syringes. Truth: Although she is a sweetheart to us and other people, she will not tolerate any vet. 7. She was so dirty when we got her that before going home, we had to take her immediately to PetSmart for a bath. 8. PetSmart could not bathe her with the neck collar from the shelter on and it was so tight that they were unable to get it off. The collar was so tight that my husband had to cut it off. Poor dog. How could any shelter allow a collar to be that tight?! This shelter should be investigated regarding truth in advertising and animal care. read more

I had a horrific experience at this place and would never recommend this facility to anyone. We came in at 5:00 to view the dogs and found a few we wanted to meet, but a bearded woman was extremely rude and said we could not meet them that day and refused to let us put a hold on the one we wanted. When we came in the very next day, someone else was viewing the dog we wanted, and we offered to adopt her right then and there. After explaining the situation to what I can only assume was the manager, she told us we could not adopt the dog since we didn't place a hold on her the day before (even though the bearded lady said we couldn't) and the other family would be taking her out on a loan. I truly believe this place doesn't want dogs adopted, and the bearded woman was one of the worst individuals I've ever met. Do not go here. read more

I adopted my second cat from here. His name is Oscar. It is obvious that the workers here love all animals. They are kind, make you feel welcome and really love the animals. Makes my heart want to cry. I also adopted the sweetest boy read more

This place is AMAZING! I got my first puppy from here today, and unfortunately it was during Covid-19, which made the process seem a little different than it normally would, but they were all so kind, gentle & so awesome! I submitted an application for a puppy on their website and the next day I got an email asking to meet/adopt my new pup! When we got there, we got to play with her and make sure we were a good fit & ask any questions we had. Then, the paperwork got started which took a little bit (surely not their fault) but I had no problem waiting, especially for my new best friend! Then once they got started, everyone was so sweet, they sent me all the info I needed and did a contactless payment. As an added surprise, my pup's foster mom left me a boatload of food, toys, puppy pads & treats! I am SO happy I chose to adopt from FSPCA, and I'll be recommending them to everybody. read more

Too much money to adopt and didn't give any information in regards to what she ate before so that we could mix the food that was started into the food that we give her. Didn't call to see how things were going either. read more

This place is excellent! I live in DC, and came here twice knowing it would be where I would find my perfect cat. And I did!! They have over 300 cats at this clean no-kill facility, and it is set up in a way that makes it easy to quickly see how the cats respond to you. They had such a great selection, as opposed to the shelters we visited in DC, and the staff was incredibly sweet and accommodating. We knew the staff was really working hard to help find us a good match, and showed us good suggestions as we walked around. On the second visit we found a very sweet little girl cat named Colette and surprisingly, we were able to take her home the following day since our application had been approved from the first visit. Moving her into our home was as easy as pie-- we know that she is going to be as happy and sweet as was predicted by the staff of the SPCA. I highly recommend the Fredericksburg SPCA if you are looking for a new pet, or looking for a worthwhile charity to give money or supplies. read more

I rescued my dog from here several months back. She came with a dark past which I knew going in she'd be scared and untrusting with everything. The staff here guided me through to help her feel comfortable and come around. I probably asked a million questions and they were so sweet about being patiently and understanding my concerns. My baby girl has come out of her shell and she's the most outgoing doll ever. Please know that these people are sincere people and they genuinely care about each and every animal and finding it the best fit home! read more

My husband and I went to go "Look" at the dogs. Just looking. We own one shelter mix *bully breed* that is also a rescue from a different high kill shelter. However we were so pleased to find out they are a no kill shelter. Shocked! We couldn't believe it! First of all is was so clean and the staff was fantastic from the front staff to the technicians who let us snuggle with a dog who we happened to adopt later that day. So anyways, we have two young children... they wanted us to do a meet and greet with our other dog and our kids of course we did. So we went home picked up the kids and our other four legged sweet dog to meet her new pal and they all hit it off. I'm writing this about a month later so I could get a true feel for how they treated him. He wasn't there for long but he is so protective of our kids and plays and snuggles with our other dog mia. He really is a pleasure to have. We are so lucky to have completed our family. Thank you to everyone. You all are fantastic! read more

Rude employees. Dirty rooms for the cats. Wouldn't let me adopt one of the kittens cuz they had " bonded " with another and might act out. I could only have one kitten. I have never heard of this happening befor and didn't believe them. After reading articles and asking 3 other shelters. They all said " they are just trying to make space for other kittens to come in. They are young enough that they can be separated and be completely fine. If they have been together for years that would be a problem and they would have to go together but since they were still eight weeks old they were fine. " if you want to adopt any animal I would recommend the Richmond Animal League they are fabulous. read more

I am concerned for some of the animals specially the kitties. I have been there a few times and I have experienced their cages dirty, kitty litter not changed, food dried up so it was clear they had not been fed for a while. The kitties became very eager to meet you and some would cry and that is not regular cat behavior. The staff is very nice , but they seem to be overwhelmed and it is sad for the animals. I hope this changes. read more
