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. If you have questions regarding these wonderful pets, please call the Shelter at (804) 580-6156.
CHUBBY |

MY NAME IS CHUBBY…and I’m a lovable lap dog. I am a medium energy pup that is good on a lead
and I love to take walks, especially on hiking trails. Car rides make me happy. I
want to be anywhere you are. I like other dogs that aren’t aggressive. I know basic manners like “sit” “stay” “down” “wait” and “paw”. I like to keep my kennel clean and I’m working on crate training. I will need my “binki” (kong) when I’m alone. I don’t care for cats. I am good with older children in their teens and I am cautious of strangers. I only respond to positive reinforcement.

Matilda
I am a senior citizen just looking for a nice home to live out my sunset years in peace. I am full of grace and aging with dignity. I like taking a lot of naps and spending time with my owner. I am not the warm, cuddly type but enjoy a few pats on the head and the occasional brush. I am very good on my lead and like to take short walks to smell and look at things. I like to keep my kennel clean when taken out regularly so house training should be a snap. I do have arthritis but the vet gives me meds to make me feel better. I don’t put up with nonsense but will get along with other pets that can mind their own business. photo courtesy Rescue Dog Photography.

SPOCK
Spock is a very smart athletic boy. He is waiting for a human bestie to play games and teach him tricks. Spock is a great problem solver. Yes, he has managed to escape from the play yard, through the parking lot gate and back into the room where he stays! After all, it was time for his meal. Spock jumps high and might have fun with a frisbee. Spock is not dog friendly at all at the shelter and there is every indication he wants to be an only dog. With people, though, Spock is all about eye contact and connection. He is quite the charmer and sits perfectly for a treat. If you are looking for a high energy, bright companion Spock could very well be your handsome fellow. He is 53 pounds. Photo courtesy Rescue Dog Photography.

Alice is looking for her forever home. This very affectionate gal enjoys attention and one on one time. She loves to ride in the car! She is always delighted to see her favorite people! This pretty redhead is about 50 pounds and around three years old. She appears to be too focused on cats to live with them. If you would like to meet Alice she shows her true personality and loving ways away from the outside the kennel.
