We’d like to give a big thank you to Fran and Gina for their wonderful donation in memory of Miracle Merlin “The Pup About Town”! All of our current fur babies and future fur babies will enjoy all of the wonderful donated items. Although Merlin can never be replaced Fran has gotten another fur baby Rylee to love and carry on the legacy.
We hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁

Can we just say we are feeling so much love!!!! Everyone is all tucked in with bellies full of yummy food, snuggling with their blankets & chewing on their chew bones! We have 2 special ones that are on big fluffy dogs beds that just came for Xmas because they need extra TLC (and aren’t destructive 🤣🤣) we cannot thank everyone enough for the love shown to our shelter!!
Everything is much appreciated and will go to good use! 🎁🎄❤️🎄🎁❤️

With Christmas just around the corner we’d like to make a public service announcement 📣…….. # 1 reason we hear owners give for surrendering their innocent pet is “oh I just don’t have time for it anymore” We will stay on our soap box and shout it from the rooftop if you can’t commit to a minimum of 13 to 15 years don’t get the ANIMAL!! It’s NOT fair to these innocent babies to be gotten as a cute “little” puppy for Christmas and then they grow up like they’re supposed to and all of a sudden they’re too much work, oh they got too big, oh they have entirely too much energy, boy they’re destructive, geez my child is now allergic, yea we just don’t want the dog anymore, oh, we wanna travel now, and the best one yea we can’t afford to take it to the vet……. We could keep going, but we will stop there! We understand there will be times when surrendering is the only option, but what we beg is to exhaust all other options! If you have fallen on hard times and just need a little help with food, reach out if we can’t help we can point you in the right direction. We have a list of Vet clinics that offer lower cost vetting!

We are working so hard to try and find the shelter full of animals their forever homes. This Christmas spoil your four-legged babies, show them how much you love them as they do 365 days a year to you!

On Saturday, November 16, 2024 is the start of shotgun deer season where dogs are allowed to track deer for hunters. This season runs from November 16, 2024-January 4, 2025. You will encounter hunting dogs on county roadways, crossing fields, running through the woods as well as slow moving vehicles as hunters attempting to capture their hunting dogs. Please use caution while driving and those that are hunting, please be safe. Also, it is a criminal offense to remove a tracking collar from a dog. Any hunting related incidents are typically investigated by the Virginia Conservation Police. This is an informational post only. No negative comments, please. ***Comments have been turned off since people continued to post negative comments. WE understand better than MOST about how Hounds can be a problem for shelters, how they are dumped and become our problem. BUT, we can't let a few bad apples cause us to Lump a whole group into the same category.
We take the care of animals, hounds etc. very seriously! We work very hard to make sure animals voices are heard and don't take that job lightly.

We hope everyone stays safe this hunting season and please be a responsible Hunter and Dog owner.
