My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Deacon! This 4-year-old Pit Bull mix came to us as a stray. No one ever came looking for this darling boy!

Deacon may be a little shy at first, but he warms up quickly and is full of love. He enjoys running in the play yards, playing, and showing off his "sit" command. Deacon has done well with most dogs he's met and just needs a little patience with potty training since his past is unknown.

Deacon has been neutered, microchipped and Heartworm tested. We have updated all vaccines including rabies. She has been given a dewormer and started on flea/tick prevention.

More about this shelter

The Orange County Animal Shelter is responsible for providing humane care to unwanted, lost or abandoned animals
The Orange County Animal Shelter provides safe haven and vet care for hundreds of animals of all ages and descriptions each year.
Happily, we have had great success promoting our animals on Petsmart adoption events and with the help of Adopt A Pet. Dozens of animals have been adopted by people who have come from many other states. Would you like to join them? If so, please let us know! The greater our reach the more homes we will find for the animals in our care.
Although we are about 1.5 hours away from the Washington, D.C. metro area, it is an easy drive. You can even make a day of it and stop off at country stores, Civil War battlefield sites and a huge mall complex in Spotsylvania/Fredericksburg. And after all, what is a few hours in drive time when you will be meeting your new best friend? If you need help getting here, call us for directions
