Meet Sean and Sasha, they are the cutest pair.

They are very friendly and great on a leash. They love going for walks and being loved on.

They are great together but may need to be the only dogs in a house, However you can set up a meet and greet to check on compatibility with our dogs🐾

As we have preciously posted, VRHS has a big fence project, in September, to comply with the NC Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Animal Welfare Section inspection. This new fencing will add outside runs with pea stone base for each shelter dog and perimeter safety fencing. Mr. Jeff Gooch and APAC have generously reduced their costs of the required stone to help the Shelter towards complying with the inspection requirements. We want to give them a huge Thank You for reducing their cost to assist us in completing this project.

VRHS community, we are reaching out in need of your support. We have been instructed by the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Animal Welfare Section to install additional fencing, which comes at a cost of $62,000. Unfortunately, we do not have the necessary funds to complete this project. We kindly ask that you consider donating to VRHS so that we can continue serving our local communities and save more lives. Your contribution, no matter how big or small, will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Wishing a very happy birthday to Carol our office manager! We would fall apart without you!! 🥳

We have many cute kitties… but these two are extra special…

Meet Carlotta and her brother Carl (bonded gorgeous siblings)

Carlotta has little extra wobble in her step, but that’s just part of her unique charm. She was born with a neurological condition known as Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH), affectionately named “wobbly cat” syndrome.

She has a less-developed cerebellum, which affects her balance and coordination. It's not painful or progressive, and the level of CH they are born with is how they will remain for life. Her wobbles are just part of what makes her special! (Video in comments)

Her condition is considered mild, and does not require any special treatment. She eats, drinks, and uses the litter box like any other cat. CH cats are often called "clown cats" because of their uncoordinated movements, which CH owners often say makes them extra silly and sweet and Carlotta is no exception!

Requirements:
- Other pets in the house will be on a case by case basis , as long as they are not rough with her to injure her
- Stairs are a big NO , since she can tumble down them
- Carpet or some area rugs to help her gain traction

Best way to meet them or further inquire is to send a Message with your number and we’ll call you.

Meet Caesar 💙

He is a sweet 2 year old male. He loves his picture taken, is treat motivated and loves going on walks. He’d be the perfect hiking buddy!
He is great on a leash and doesn’t pull unless he sees something he really wants 😆 .

He doesn’t seem to mind other dogs but a meet and greet is always recommended.

Please call the shelter to setup your meet and greet 😀
