By law, the shelter is not able to turn any stray animal away, so it must make room for new intakes. That sometimes means euthanizing animals.
The RCACP is asking people who have recently lost animals to check the shelter. You can claim your lost pet from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday.

It's a common misconception, but the RCACP is a separate entity from the Roanoke Valley SPCA, which is a no-kill shelter next door.
