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.

I am most certainly a lap dog. I also like to be indoors and wherever you are at all times. I am sweet and gentle, small and cuddly. Getting affection is my #1 goal in life. I am good on a leash and willing to take a walk to get in a little bit of exercise but I’m more of a “Lap potato”. I respond well to people and will politely make sure they give me attention. I am not a big noise maker and will make a great companion for any household.

HI. MY NAME IS TURBO
Relaxing is my favorite activity. I am a gentle giant and a pretty lazy, low key kind of guy. While I have my more exciting moments, I hope you have a couch with my name on it because I can be a real potato sometimes. Lots of exercise is NOT part of my routine. Just easy walks and plenty of affection are about all I need to be happy. I like learning new stuff and training is a great bonding experience for us both but I never get over-excited about anything. Car rides are fun and relaxing. Do I sound like the type of dog that will make a good fit with your family? Just contact the shelter for more information.

Cats are not for me as, like most dogs, I do have a prey drive. I have not learned much of anything training-wise so having some obedience training in my future could be beneficial for all of us. If you like hounds then I may be the perfect fit for you!
