Adoptable Dogs
Call the shelter at (804) 580-6156 for questions about adoption and available pets. Please leave your name, phone number and a message if there is no answer. You may also contact the shelter by e-mail at shelter@northumberlandsheriff.net
This page is dedicated to all of the dogs waiting for their forever homes. Their vaccinations are current. If they have not been spayed or neutered at the time of adoption, you'll receive a certificate for spaying/neutering (generously provided by the Animal Welfare League of the Northern Neck). If you have questions about adoptable pets, call the Shelter at (804) 580-6156.
Additionally, we now have a new, easy, and exciting way to make a donation on behalf of the dogs and cats at our Shelter. Both Amazon and Chewy now have a Gift Registry specifically created for the Northumberland County Animal Shelter. These are items that are needed for both dogs and cats which will enhance their living conditions, health, and overall enjoyment while residing in our Shelter.
It is VERY simple to use. Simply click on the Donate thru Amazon button or the Donate thru Chewy button at the top of the page and begin shopping. Select the items you wish to give to the Shelter. It's that easy!! We will modify this Gift Registry from time to time as animal needs change.

HI. MY NAME IS FRANKLIN
I'm a young, sweet soul with a heart full of curiosity. I'm always on the lookout for a new adventure or a fun game to play. I'm a bit of a goofball too - I can't help but make people laugh with my funny antics. I've got energy to spare, so we can play all day long if you'd like. But don't worry, I love a good cuddle just as much. I'm friendly to everyone I meet and I can't wait to make new friends. Because of my size and girth, kids over 12 are better for me. I haven’t met any dogs that impress me yet. If you're looking for a playful, energetic, and cuddly companion who will bring joy and laughter into your life, then I'm your guy. Adopt me and let's start our adventure together !
