​​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 [email protected]  

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 RINA
Still very much a puppy at just one year old, I am a sweet and charming girl who is ready to find a loving home of my own. I enjoy being around people and absolutely love attention, affection, and companionship. I do a great job trying to keep my kennel clean and I seem to understand what it means to live in a home. As a surrender, I already know the comforts and routines of a home environment. I enjoy being active and would love a family who will include me in their adventures, but I’m not overly high-energy. I’m a wonderful balance of playful, affectionate, and easygoing. With my sweet personality and loving nature, I have so much potential to become a wonderful family companion.

HI MY NAME IS SHILOH
Just look at my beautiful blue-and-white coat—I’m quite the handsome fella! But underneath my good looks is a very shy, sensitive boy who is still learning that the world can be a wonderful place. I’m looking for an experienced, patient owner who understands my kind of dog and will give me the time, guidance, and reassurance I need to build my confidence. New things can feel scary to me, but with someone I trust by my side, I can learn to be brave and discover my very best self. The lap of someone I love and trust is my favorite place to be. Once I decide you’re one of my people, my loyalty and affection know no bounds. Could you be the person who shows me that the world isn’t so scary after all?

I don’t know much yet, but that just means training will be a fun learning experience for both of us!  I even try to keep my kennel clean, so my new family may find potty training is off to a great start. If you’re looking for a happy, silly, lovable companion who will keep you smiling and fill your days with energy and affection, I just might be your perfect match!

HI MY NAME IS TINK
A little shy, incredibly sweet, and always craving attention and affection—that’s me in a nutshell. I’ve got big, sad eyes that are almost impossible to resist, and once I’ve chosen you, I’ll probably be your little shadow, following you around because, honestly, I know you wouldn’t want it any other way. Cuddles and baby talk are a must, and I certainly wouldn’t say no to being spoiled with a cute outfit or two. If you’re looking for a loving, affectionate little companion who wants nothing more than to be by your side, look no further.

HI MY NAME IS ATLAS
Me and my two sisters came into the shelter together as strays, and sadly, no one has come looking for us. Now, we’re hoping to find forever homes where we can each be loved and cherished. We can be adopted together or separately! I’m a guy with personality, charm, and a whole lot of love to give! Affection and loyalty are my specialties, and nothing makes me happier than having fun with my humans and settling in for some cozy snuggle time. I will probably make a nice couch potato. Could you be the forever family I’ve been waiting for? Come meet me and see if we’re a perfect match!

HI MY NAME IS NOLAN
If you love the goofy, playful, big-hearted personality of a Boxer, look no further! I may have a few other breeds mixed in, but when it comes to my head and heart, I’m all Boxer! Just look at my photos—you’ll see that I can turn almost anything into a fun game. I’m energetic, playful, goofy, curious, and always ready for my next adventure! I’m looking for a forever family who understands that I need plenty of mental stimulation, exercise, playtime, and love to keep me busy and engaged, and I’ll happily keep you moving right along with me!  Because I’m enthusiastic about life, older kids may be the better fit for me. I might accidentally bowl a little one right over or give them an unexpected hip check into the next room!  If you have a soft spot for Boxers and are looking for a fun-loving, active companion who will keep you laughing and on your toes, let’s meet and fall in love. NOTE: No slip leads were injured during this photo session!

HI MY NAME IS BRADEN
I was originally adopted from a nearby shelter but my owner died and the surviving relatives didn’t want me so here we go again. I came to this shelter with a small dog, so I probably won’t mind having a new friend. I especially like the girls and the more stable, sedate pups. I try to keep my kennel clean so potty training should be easy. I am quite friendly and love to get affection and cuddles from my humans for which I will return the favor. I like to watch the world around me and to participate in anything my humans are doing. I look forward to any training we can have fun with together. Do I sound like the companion you are looking for? Let’s meet and find out if we are the perfect match!

HI MY NAME IS BELLA ROSE
​
I'm a perky, sweet girl who's a little shy and cautious when meeting new people, but once I feel safe, my playful and loving personality shines through. Because I'm still learning and can get a little excited, I'd likely do best in a home with older children who can understand my boundaries and energy. I'm looking for a patient family who will give me the guidance, training, and encouragement I need to grow into the best companion I can be. With kindness, consistency, and a little time, I'll reward you with loyalty, love, and plenty of happy moments. I can't wait to find my forever family!

HI MY NAME IS DORA
I’m a pretty smart, low key, sweet, calm girl with a heart full of love! I keep my kennel nice and tidy, so potty training should be easy. I’m all about cuddles, hugs, and hanging out with my favorite humans. I don’t like chickens much so I should not be near them.  I do 
enjoy a daily stroll but am happiest curled up by your side. I might be a little shy at first, but give me a moment for a few sniffs to catch your scent and we’ll be besties in no time!

HI MY NAME IS ROCKWELL
I'm a wonderful mix of a Rottweiler and a Labrador Retriever, combining some of the best qualities of both breeds. From my Rottweiler side, I get my loyalty, intelligence, and protective nature. From my Labrador side, I inherit my eagerness to please, friendly personality, and love for being part of the family. I'm a big cuddle bug who thinks lap time is one of life's greatest pleasures. While I'm generally low-key and easygoing, I'm also smart, motivated, and quick to learn new things. I have a positive outlook on life and am always happy to join whatever adventure—or relaxing activity—you have planned. I'm house-trained and understand how to behave in a home environment. Whether we're going for a walk, spending time with family, or just relaxing on the couch, I'll be right by your side with a wagging tail and a smile on my face. If you're looking for a loyal companion with a loving heart and a great attitude, I might just be the perfect match for you

HI MY NAME IS WEILER

I was surrendered with my friend, Ivory, when our owners could no longer keep us due to personal circumstances. I’m a fun-loving guy with lots of energy and enthusiasm! Sometimes I forget just how big and strong I am, especially when treats or food are involved, so a home without small children may be best for me.  I could use some help in the manners department, so training will be important because of my size and breed. The good news is I’m eager for human attention and affection, and I always have a smile on my face. I’m a happy, affectionate dog looking for a family that will give me the guidance, love, and activity I need to thrive.

Love and affection are what I’m all about! Being a crazy,  wild child is what I do best. A picnic table or any high perch is my favorite place to reign over my kingdom.

I have lots of energy, so my ideal home would be with an active family who can keep me engaged, entertained, and busy. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, energetic companion with a big personality and plenty of affection to give, I might just be the perfect fit for you!
