Providence Volunteer Services for Animals

The Providence Chapter of Volunteer Services for Animals, 272-1639, provides volunteer assistance to the Providence Animal Care and Control Center. We encourage placement of stray animals by: helpful contact with visitors; placement of pictures and articles in newspapers and Internet sites; and provide funds for emergency veterinary care of stray animals. VSA helps the animals feel comfortable and happy by providing walks, visiting and playing with them, and providing training whenever possible. VSA maintains a lost/found file and a wants/needs home file. We also provide counseling for pet owners with problems, referring them to Veterinarians and other pet related organizations. Volunteer Services for Animals strongly advocates for the spay or neuter of all family pets. Financial assistance is available to all RI residents that cannot afford the full cost of spaying or neutering their pets. For information on pet loss support groups, call VSA Headquarters at (401) 273-0358.

Additional adoption info

Any dog coming in to the shelter must be held for 5 full business days to give the owner a chance to claim him/her. During that 5 day period, anyone that wants to adopt a dog can submit an adoption application for that dog. After the 5 day waiting period is up, applicants are called based on the appropriateness of the home for each and every dogs needs. There is a $10 adoption fee, no cash can be accepted only personal checks or money orders. All pets being adopted must have a pre-paid spay or neuter from the Veterinarian that the shelter uses for low cost spay/neuter for adopted animals. Any Pit Bull or Pit Bull mix being adopted is dropped off at the Vet the morning of their surgery and picked up by the adopter after the surgery has been done. All Pit Bulls and/or Pit Bull mixes residing in Providence must also carry liability insurance. If you own your home you must provide proof of home ownership. If you rent you must provide a notarized letter from a landlord stating you can have a pet.
