PETA’s Community Animal Project (CAP) has improved the lives of thousands of animals in Virginia and North Carolina. CAP rescues local animals directly. We go into the very poorest of neighborhoods to deliver food, doghouses, and bedding to neglected animals who have never known a kind word or touch. Since the program’s inception in 2001, PETA’s mobile clinics have spayed or neutered more than 224,200 companion animals, preventing the births and inevitable suffering of hundreds of thousands of unwanted dogs and cats in Virginia and North Carolina, all through low-cost or free sterilization surgeries. Our adoptable animals often come from in-field surrenders.
