The shelter is also shared by the Pulaski County Humane Society. You can view their listings here: PCHS
Come Meet our Pets
Please visit our shelter and find a new friend! Animal Control is available M-F 8-4, with adoptions stopping at 3:30, and Sat 8-12 with adoptions stopping at 11:30.
Please note: the animals listed here only represent SOME of the animals at the shelter. Also, some animals listed here may no longer be available, so PLEASE call to confirm if an animal is still available before traveling long distances.
*Virginia law only requires stray animals to be held for 5 days without a collar or 10 days with a collar. Animals that are surrendered by their owners may be euthanized immediately. The shelter tries to keep adoptable animals as long as possible, but space is always a factor.
Our Adoption Process
Please fill out our Adoption Application and send it to pchsva@gmail.com. If you're approved for adoption, the fee is $15 plus the cost of a prepaid spay or neuter (approx $85-$100 total).
Dog adoption and cat
adoption saves lives. Adopt
a dog or adopt a cat and you'll
have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting
a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats
for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs
and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of
dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed
is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten
breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat
or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt
a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane
society or pet rescue group.
