About Our Shelter
Please note, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, temporary changes in the adoption policy at the Northumberland County Animal Shelter is limiting prospective adopters to residents of Northumberland County and surrounding counties. Available shelter pets can be viewed here on our website at the "ADOPTABLE DOGS" or "ADOPTABLE CATS" tabs. In addition, local residents interested in adopting a pet can find instructions on how to apply by selecting the "ADOPT A PET" tab. When your application is approved, the Shelter Manager will call you and set an appointment for you to meet your chosen pet.
During adoption hours Shelter staff will be happy to give you a tour and introduce you to the pets, help you complete the adoption process, discuss volunteer opportunities and accept donations.
Gently used items such as towels, blankets, pet toys, crates, leashes, collars, etc., in addition to pet food items like canned food and treats, can be donated at the Shelter. Donated dry pet food is not used by the Shelter, since our pets are fed one brand of dry food to help reduce gastric upsets, but is re-donated to other charitable organizations. If you need a donation receipt, please be sure to make your donations during adoption hours. After hour donations should be placed in the donation shed which is located next to the shelter. Please close the door of the shed after depositing your donation.
Visit or contact the Shelter if you have any questions.
