A lot of people ask if our cats are dog friendly. Today, we are introducing a dog to them to give a better informed answer when asked. (No cats were put in any dangerous situations.)

Be on the lookout for an email and/or a text if you filled out a volunteer form (and we were able to read it)! We are expanding our volunteer program.

Zee is an amazing dog! He's just not an "in your face" type of lovey dog. He needs time, space, and patience. He will reward you for your patience by being the best friend you didn't know you needed.

Pet of the Week: Zee is a 6-year-old male bully mix. He is a big, loveable baby who is fully housetrained and knows some basic commands. Zee has lots of energy and would likely do well with another high-energy dog, although a meet and greet would be required. Zee is neutered, up to date on all shots, and microchipped. His adoption fee is $50.

If you can give Zee a good life, please complete a Pre-Adoption Application: www.clarkecounty.gov/government/animal-control-shelter

Visit Zee and all other adoptable dogs, cats, and kittens at the Clarke Animal Shelter, located at 225 Ramsburg Lane in Berryville.

Mini Molly, gentle Asher and big ol' Bear. Each of these seniors found their way here, and they could each use a foster home, stat! A shelter is no place for an older pet.

All are neutered, and will be getting senior bloodwork asap, to get a better feel for their overall health.

(Black) Bear is a gentle giant with meaty paws and is one of those guys that purrs on contact. He has the torn ears of a kitty that has spent his life outside, and was never neutered till now. He is FIV+ but as you may know, keep him inside from now on and he can live as long as negative cats. He tends to close his right eye a lot, but outwardly, it seems healthy. This will be looked at by the vet. You can't hear it, but he is purring very loudly in this photo! We have found the Bear is not fond of other cats.

(Tabby) Asher came in from a hoarding case and was found living among the bodies of deceased animals. 😔 He is a gentle old guy that deserves love in a real home, with or without other cats. (Incidentally, 3 other cats he came in with, Sunshine (adopted), Suki, and Mochi, are also at the shelter and ready for adoption.)

Gray and white little Molly was surrendered because she was peeing outside the box. There are dozens of reasons why cats do this, but all we know is at the shelter, she is using it consistently, like a champ! Our tiny girl is 15!

While all 3 are available for immediate adoption, foster homes would help greatly as well.

These two beauties just got brought in. They were found running at large in White Post. They're both really good dogs. They do not have tags nor are they micro-chipped. If these are your dogs, please give us a call at 540-955-5104. Proof of ownership, such as a photo, will be required for pick up. Thank you.

Update: Owner Identified

This little guy was found today, running at large, in the area of Frogtown Rd and Tadpole Ln. He was brought in by a citizen and scanned for a microchip, which he did not have. The finder was willing to hold on to him so that he did not have to come into the shelter. Please reach out to us and we will put you in contact with the person who has him. 540-955-5104. We will be here until 6pm this evening. Please leave a message if we do not answer and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

We love our little Maui man! He loves snuggles just as much as we love to give them.

We can't believe Snowy is STILL here! He is perfect and such a goofy boy. His personality will keep a smile on your face. We were told that he does not do well with other dogs, however I am confident that he would be just fine with a submissive partner. Cat's are a different story. He must go to a home with no cats. Please stop by and check him out. His adoption fee has been sponsored. Let's find him a home for Christmas!

Pet of the Week: Snowy is a 5-year-old husky mix. Do you want to brush a snowman? Well, here is your chance! Based on the information we were given, he lived outside for most of his life. Like most huskies, he can be quite vocal when left unattended. Snowy loves attention and will gladly give it in return.

Snowy's adoption fee has been generously sponsored.

If you can give Snowy a good life, please complete a pre-adoption application: www.clarkecounty.gov/government/animal-control-shelter

For more information or to visit Snowy contact the Clarke Animal Shelter at (540) 955-5104 or [email protected] located at 225 Ramsburg Lane, Berryville, VA 22611.

It should be criminal to have this much energy this early in the morning, and this guy was, in fact, brought in by the police early this morning. Super sweet and friendly, intact male, running at large in Rose Hill Park in Berryville. He was wearing a collar but no owner information was present. If he belongs to you, we are open today from 10a to 4p. Proof of ownership, such as a photo, will be required for pick up.
