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 shelter@northumberlandsheriff.net
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 REBA McENTIRE
I am a sweet and very friendly hound girl who loves to be with people and other dogs. I enjoy engaging with humans and learning about my environment. I entered the shelter as a seizure with many of my brothers and sisters because my owner's life became very complicated and he could no longer care for us. But while we lived with him, my owner took good care of us and treated us well. Now I look forward to living in a warm, cozy home and receiving lots of love and affection from my human family.

I am a sweet and lovable dog who likes nothing more than affection, attention, and getting lots of one-on-one loving from my humans.

I can be a bit timid about some things and have a very submissive personality. If I sound like the type of furry companion you are searching for, let’s meet!

HI. MY NAME IS ABRAHAM.
I was adopted a little less than a year ago. My owner and I adored each other and I was a wonderful companion. Then my owner became ill and could no longer care for me so now I am back at the shelter in search of a new home. I am a sweet and lovable dog with a beautiful reddish coat that photos just can’t capture properly. At just under 2 years old, I am still active and young enough for you to mold, train, and love me into just the kind of dog you want me to be. I am always happy to see people and can’t wait to be given attention and affection. I am house-trained and I like other dogs. Just call the shelter and make an appointment to meet me and we can fall in love.

HI. MY NAME IS JULIA
My previous owner loved me but she was a bit older and felt she could no longer handle me or the 3 other dogs in the household. It was brave and unselfish of her to relinquish me so that I might have a better life. But I am having trouble adjusting to the shelter environment. I’m becoming stressed out so I need to find a new home and a family to love me before I go stir crazy. I am a smart girl who is interested in learning new things, so basic training should be easy and fun for both of us. I try to keep my kennel clean so house training should be fairly easy too. Can you rescue me before I lose my mind?

2HI. MY NAME IS JERICHO
I came from bad beginnings but I’m young but have already established myself as a certified lap dog. Getting love and attention is a must if you are going to adopt me. Training and cuddles will help us create that deep bond we both want. I love to be with people and other dogs that don’t play too rough. Because I started life in pretty bad conditions, I can be a little shy towards the outside world. That is only because I haven’t been introduced to that big canvas yet. Will you be the perfect person that wants to show me how good life can be?

HI. MY NAME IS CLEMENTINE
My beginnings have been rough but am a survivor! Animal Control brought me, and my 2 puppies, to the shelter because we had no food, no water and no shelter.

After all I have been through I still love life and cuddles. Attention and affection are my favorite things. I am medium energy and love to be with people. I am crate trained and do a good job of keeping my kennel clean so any house training needed should be easy. I can “sit” but want to learn new things.
