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.

Tim McGraw
HI. MY NAME IS TIM McGRAW
Stating the obvious here but I am a truly handsome fella. My large, warm eyes will melt you into a puddle of soft goo in no time. I am one of those hounds that can be a bit shy and timid around humans but only because I haven’t had much interaction with them yet. I still need to learn the right things about living in a home to become a good inside dog, but I am willing to learn if you are willing to teach me. I might do best with a family that has hound experience but that is not a requirement for adoption. Let’s meet and see if we are a good fitter each other!

Clementine
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. The shelter discovered that we had parvo virus and heartworm. Although I lost my pups to parvo, I survived both parvo and the terrible 2 month heartworm treatment. Now I am ready to find a family that will love me and give me the good life I deserve. 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 house trained and crate trained. I have been fostered for months and have learned many commands and I am well behaved at home as well as in public. Just make an inquiry about me and you will be connected with my foster mom. She can answer any questions you may have. Are you the one who can give me the better life I deserve?

Dexter
HI. MY NAME IS DEXTER
I'm young, sweet, and friendly with a fair amount of energy. I behave very well in the public domain but I'm also a bit of a goofball at home. Cats are not good for me because I become hyper focused on them and tend to bark. I would do best with another dog with my energy level of play. My favorite things to do are cuddling up next to my person, car rides, shopping while meeting new people, and long walks. I know that my antics will make you laugh, and I'll be there, wagging my tail in joy. I'm smart too! I love to solve puzzles and learn new things. Training should definitely be a part of my future. Adopt me, and let's create a lifetime of love and laughter together.

Titan
HI. MY NAME IS TITAN
The Husky breed is not for the beginner or novice dog owner so I need an owner who is very experienced and quite familiar with the Husky breed. I tend to attach myself to one person more than a whole family. I can be stubborn, people-selective and dog-selective. I am not a good fit with children or cats. If you already own a dog, I will have to meet your current dog(s) to make sure that we can get along. I require much of your daily attention and I can be stubborn and hard-headed when I don’t get my way, but I love to learn new things. I am also quite active and will need both mental and highly energetic physical activity daily. I have a beautiful coat that will need daily brushing. Because I can be an escape artist, I will need a fenced yard. Serious inquires only please.
