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 GOOSE
I am a sweet boy with a free spirit but I also thrive on routine. I have a fair amount of energy and love to run and play, especially with Hollie Berry whom I lived with until we were both surrendered to the shelter. We are lucky to still play together everyday in the play yards. I’m housebroken, engage warmly with people, and learn new things quickly. I can pull on my leash sometimes because I’m excited to get wherever it is we are going. I’m happy to settle down and relax at the end of the day. My companion Hollie Berry and I can be adopted together or separately. Just imagine, a ready made dog family if you adopt us both!

Hi. MY NAME IS EVEREST
I am crate trained and potty trained.You may remember me from a few months ago. I had already been living at the shelter for over a year when I was finally adopted. I was returned after a few months for several reasons but it boils down to this. I need a mobile and active, confident and positive owner with some knowledge on how to further my training and is willing to take the time to train me and teach me right from wrong. While I already know a lot of the basic commands I can be stubborn at times if you let me default to my own choices. I like to hang out with other dogs but I am not an active engager in dog play so there will be no crazy chaos with me. I'm ready to find my forever home, are you ready to find your forever friend?
