关于我们
The Chesapeake Humane Society (CHS) has two facilities in Chesapeake. The Battlefield Blvd location is our veterinary clinic, offering preventative veterinary care, spay/neuter surgery, dentals, heartworm treatment, various surgical procedures, and illness exams. Our clinic services support our shelter pets, other regional shelters, rescue groups, and public clients. The New Mill Drive location is our animal shelter and crisis boarding facility. Our adoptable pets include dogs, cats, and small animals. Our shelter does not accept owner surrenders or strays so the majority of our pets are transferred in from our regional shelter partners. Our crisis boarding program provides temporary boarding and medical care for pets of families experiencing hardship. We help people experiencing housing crises, escaping domestic violence, experiencing medical emergencies, and displaced by house fires. Our Mission is to promote the welfare of companion animals through programs and initiatives that reduce pet overpopulation, increase adoptions, and encourage responsible pet guardianship through affordable pet care. Our Vision is to help pets and the people who love them find each other and stay together.

After 13 years of dedicated service, Lacy Shirey will be stepping down as Executive Director of the Chesapeake Humane Society. A beloved and highly effective leader, Lacy has guided CHS through tremendous growth, including spearheading several capital campaigns - most notably leading to the opening of our Adoption Center on New Mill Drive and expanding our Veterinary Clinic footprint. Lacy also developed the essential Crisis Boarding Program, providing a lifeline for families in crisis to keep their beloved pets safe and together during challenging times. Under Lacy’s leadership, the Chesapeake Humane Society has not only grown in size and impact but has also cultivated a thriving community of dedicated supporters. From donors and volunteers to partner organizations and advocates, Lacy has worked tirelessly to foster meaningful relationships that have strengthened CHS’s mission. Her ability to connect with people, inspire action, and build trust has created a network of compassionate individuals who believe in the power of the bond between people and pets and are committed to making a difference. This community of strong supporters will remain a cornerstone of CHS’s future success, serving as a testament to Lacy's extraordinary vision and leadership. This transition also marks an exciting new chapter for CHS, as it opens the door to fresh opportunities to further our mission and vision. Stepping into the role of Interim Executive Director is Emily Peck, our current Development Director. Emily joined the Chesapeake Humane Society in August, bringing over two decades of experience in animal welfare. Raised in rural Ohio, her passion for animals has been a lifelong driving force. Since relocating to Hampton Roads in 2012, Emily has dedicated her career to nonprofit work, starting in veterinary medicine before transitioning to fundraising. Her deep expertise in animal welfare and philanthropy, coupled with her proven ability to foster meaningful connections, allows her to unite CHS supporters and staff in advancing the organization’s mission. Emily’s dedication and leadership have been recognized with notable accolades, including being named one of Hampton Roads’ Top 40 Under 40 Business Professionals and receiving Otterbein University’s Graduate Of the Last Decade Alumni Award for exceptional volunteer service and community impact. As CHS enters this transitional phase, Emily is committed to supporting its vital programs and furthering our impact. As Emily takes on this interim role, the CHS board of directors will begin the search for a new Executive Director. We thank Lacy for her incredible contributions and wish her all the best in her next chapter, and we are confident Emily will lead CHS with compassion and excellence during this time of change. #ChesapeakeHumane #Hiring The Executive Director position is posted on LinkedIn.
