Additional adoption info
Surry County has no adoption fee for animals. You are required to fill out and sign three forms. The first is a sterilization form which requires you have the animal you adopt spayed or neutered within 30 days of adoption if sexually mature as required by VA State Law. The second is a statement acknowledging you have never been charged or convicted of a crime against an animal, cruelty, abandonment or neglect. The third is an adoption release which states Animal Control does not guarentee the health or temperment of the animal you adopt and is no longer legally responsible for the animal after adoption.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
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.
