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 GROOT
I don’t have any papers stating i’m a purebred, but I’m all Great Pyrenees through and through. I’m low key but playful. I am a young and friendly guy who loves meeting new people and I'm non-reactive to other dogs. I walk perfectly on a leash and have a sweet, wonderful disposition. I love affection and hanging out with my family. I know some simple commands and I try to keep my kennel clean so any potty training should be a breeze. Other than needing daily brushing and grooming, which I like, I am the perfect package for a family looking for a new family member.

Joy
HI. MY NAME IS JOY
I was born at this facility. After being adopted as a puppy, my family brought me back to the shelter to surrender me when I was close to my 1st birthday. I am good with some larger dogs and I have a doggie best friend here with me. His name is Everest and you should check him out! We could go as a pair if you are so inclined. I am good with older children but I don’t get along with cats. I’m a bit submissive and would do well with an older, calm dog that can show me the ropes.
