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.

I may be a mature and matronly canine but I’m very sweet and am just looking for love and safety in my sunset years. I know I have a lot of medical challenges for someone but the staff at the shelter love me and think I'm a very loving and special girl. Some of my issues include kidney disease, Addisons Disease, mammary tumors ; little can be done because of my age. I’m on a special diet and take meds regularly and need to see the Doctor monthly for bloodwork and shots. I am 11.5 years old and 44 pounds and would love to have someone special love me and take care of me until I cross the rainbow bridge.

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.

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.
