Winchester SPCA Admission Center: Please make an appointment before admitting a pet

The Winchester SPCA admission center is open Tuesday – Friday, 10am -4pm, and weekends 12-4pm by appointment. The Winchester SPCA has a contract with Winchester City and accepts owned animals, stray dogs, and cats/kittens that are injured or otherwise compromised from within the Winchester city limits. Owned pets are also accepted from residents of Frederick and Clarke Counties as space allows. Valid ID is required.

Please call 540-662-8616 to make an appointment, as it is imperative the shelter is prepared for your pet. When the admission center is full, it means there are no available kennels. The shelter believes that pets deserve a safe place to stay while they wait for a new home. Owners help save lives by waiting. While owners wait, the SPCA helps them work with their pet on behavioral problems, reach out to their own support network for rehoming options, and will offer to do a courtesy post on the shelter’s social media.

The shelter understands that every situation is unique and will always accept a pet that is in immediate need or danger.
