Adoptable Dogs

This page is devoted to all of the available dogs waiting for their forever homes. All animals are kept up to date on their vaccinations, heart worm checked and given a preventative each month. In addition, when you adopt a pet, you receive a certificate for spaying/neutering, possible through our partnership with the Animal Welfare League of the Northern Neck. The Northern Neck Kennel Club also graciously offers free classes in Obedience or Manners to adopters. If you have questions regarding these wonderful pets, please call the Shelter at (804) 580-6156.

Introducing ANDY. This very handsome boy came in as a stray. He is looking forward to meeting his own special person and being part of a home. Andy is about 3 years old and 70 pounds of canine good looks! He is very people friendly and eager to learn more that is expected of him, such as proper leash manners, so he can be a most wonderful companion.. At the shelter he has been dog selective, which is not unusual in a kennel setting. Andy learns quickly and has lots of loyalty waiting to give in his forever home. Andy has had his shots and A.W.L generously provides a certificate to cover the cost of neutering

Blanca
Blanca is such a fun, sweet gal. Unfortunately, she’s been overlooked because she does not show well in a shelter environment. She'd really like a family of her own and a place to call home. Ask to take her out to the play area at the Northumberland County Animal Shelter, so you can really meet her and experience her joyous personality. Blanca is not a good fit for cats!

Chief
Chief is one of our senior gentlemen. This nine year old fellow has discovered a dog bed is a wonderful pleasure and basking in the sun is delightful. Chief arrived in poor condition, thin with lots of scrapes and ear tears. He's now looking for his special person. Chief is heartworm positive. Due to his age and strength level he is not a good candidate for the standard heartworm treatment so will receive the heartworm preventative monthly. He's good with cats, dogs and children!

Dakota
Dakota is one of our dogs that will greatly benefit from a home and life outside the kennel. She has so much love to give. In the kennel she is quite anxious and has a lot of nervous energy. For that reason she does not show well at all in the kennel. She thrives on attention outside the kennel. In the play yard one of her favorite things is to sit on the bench and cuddle and spend time with her favorite staff or volunteers. She likes to have a good run in the play yard. After exercise and, affection and treats, Dakota is much more likely to settle in on her bed when she returns to the kennel especially late in the day, when things start to quiet down. Dakota has participated in some of the group walks and enjoys them very much and is given some extra, respectful space as she gets acclimated. Her body language is decidedly more relaxed as the walk goes on.She is very people friendly, loves attention, totally enjoyed a bath and acted like she was at a spa day. She is 45 pounds and one year old.
