Busch Gardens' Happy Tails

Happy Tails is a new program that provides two complimentary single-day tickets to Busch Gardens for every successful dog or cat adoption from the Peninsula SPCA.  The Peninsula SPCA wants to take that extra step to say we appreciate the community’s choice to adopt from our shelter.           

Busch Gardens incorporates a variety of shelter animals in its wildly popular "More Pet Shenanigans" show. Through daily performances, the park’s animal trainers show what is possible when working with these ambassadors of their breed.

”We are pleased to work with an organization like the Peninsula SPCA that is so dedicated to the well-being of animals in the Hampton Roads community. Our goal with the Happy Tails program is to encourage adoption of these great animals that need a loving home,” said Jay Tacey, Busch Gardens’ zoological manager.

Tickets will be issued at The Peninsula SPCA the day of adopting their new family member.  Admission vouchers are good for one year from issue date and Christmas Town admission is excluded.

Stuck in Limbo

Limbo is a second timer here at the Peninsula SPCA, but through no fault of his own! We wish we could say that after coming to the shelter for the first time, Limbo was adopted by a wonderful family and is happily adored in his new home. We thought, and Limbo thought, after being adopted the first time, that he was on his way to his forever home.

However, Limbo was dealt yet another blow in his short life when he was brought in to the Peninsula SPCA as a stray after he was adopted. We waited for his adopter to come claim him, but they never showed. Now poor Limbo is stuck back in limbo again, hoping that his next adoper is the one that will keep him safe and loved forever!

Please give this puppy a chance! Limbo is such a fun, playful young dog. He will be the perfect companion for the owner who likes to take lots of walks and make new human and dog friends at the dog park!

Limbo is just over a year old and is a medium sized black and white American Pit Bull Terrier, so he is very open to training and he is young enough to forget his dissapointing start in life. Please come take Limbo out of limbo and give him the chance he deserves!

Razz and Piston

Looking for a little love? I may be small but I've got a lot of puppy love to give to my forever owner! My name is Piston and I am a 5 year old male Dachshund looking for someone to take me home today!



I know I'm on the short side, so if you decide you're looking for a bigger dog, you should check out my friend, Razz!



Razz is a 3 year old black Labrador Retriever with a HUGE heart! He's a big boy so you'll need to have lots of room for him and somewhere for him to play. If you think you can give Razz or me, Piston, a loving home, please come visit us today!
