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 GREY
I have been living at the shelter for 11 months now. Thats a long time! I really need to find my forever home and family. I dream everyday that someone will rescue me and give me a nice warm and loving home. I am a real people pleaser and I love affection. I am sweet and goofy. I have lived in a home before so that atmosphere is very familiar to me. I had to leave my first home because a new baby arrived. I walk well on a lead and I have learned some basic commands. I’m a bit too much for small children and I’m very picky about the other dogs I keep company with. I’m looking for a home where I can be yours and only yours. Please adopt me so I don’t cross the dreaded 1 year threshold of living at the shelter. Can you open your heart and home to me?
