Salem's Light is dedicated to improving the lives of dogs through community outreach, education, advocacy, and proactive spay and neuter.
Salem’s Light conducts targeted community outreach initiatives - the main activity of our organization - in underserved neighborhoods in metro Richmond. After identifying a dog potentially in need of assistance, volunteers approach the dog’s owner and offer free supplies (food, collars, dog houses), promote free or low-cost spay and neuter, and encourage other efforts to improve the dog’s living conditions and care.
In addition to promoting free or low-cost spay and neuter during community outreach activities, Salem’s Light helps to connect other members of the general public with these valuable services. Salem’s Light strives to educate pet owners on the importance of proactive spay and neuter, including emphasizing the health and behavioral benefits of sterilization and the positive impact of a single surgical procedure on the continued problem of overpopulation.
