Friday Update. It has been a ruff week at the Stafford County Animal Shelter. Despite our efforts we have continued to receive more dogs in the form of surrenders. Our adoption numbers have not kept up and we are still very close to capacity. We currently have 38 adoptable dogs. We have another 10 dogs on various holds. Our shelter was designed to hold 18 adoptable dogs. If you have room in your home please stop in Saturday between 930-4.
