With the emergency surrender of 3 dogs this morning, we are now OVER capacity. In an attempt to do everything we can to make space at the shelter, we are waiving all adoption fees for dogs today. Please, if you or anyone you know has been thinking of adding a furry friend to your family, stop by and consider saving the life of a shelter dog. We really need your help, now more than ever.

Stafford County Animal Shelter is located at 26 Frosty Ln, Stafford, VA 22554 and we are open until 4:00 today - no appointment needed. Please note, adoption restrictions for dogs that are not spayed or neutered still apply.

Sierra has been with is WAY TOO LONG!
Please share her if you can't adopt. 🐾🙏
**SPONSORED ADOPTION FEE**

😍 Hello!!! 😍
My name is Sierra and I am around 2.5 years old and about 55lbs. I came from the shelter in Melfa, VA where I was for 3.5 months, after being found as a stray living on the highway for a month.
Fast forward to today,
-My favoritest thing in the whole wide world is being next to my people and get all the treats! Kids are a blast and submissive dogs are fun to play with too. No alpha dogs for me!
You must keep in contact with our trainer to make sure she keeps on the positive path.
**That being said, If you have a dog friend already in your home, and a proper and slow introduction. I have protective tendencies with new dogs/people coming in.
So far in my Foster home, I am doing really well with the special needs kitty!
I AM LEASH REACTIVE, I need my new human to continue helping me learn to walk past alpha and hyper dogs**
You must be willing to work with our trainer at Smarty Paws Canine Care LLC

If you have neighbors, I'd do best with a privacy fence.
I would do best with kids over 8-10 years old.
I get so happy and energetic at times, I get pretty zoomie and roll all over the couch and floor! You'll notice when I am tired of all my running around acting like an adorable fool, I want nothing more than a stuffie to suck on to sleep next to you and snore away my worries. The humans tell me how "stinkin cute" I am when I get this way. Not sure what that means but hey, I'll take it!
-I can get whiney when I am bored or see another dog (I just get sooo excited). I do very well in my crate after a few minutes of detesting (aka screaming ) I do keep it very clean. So far I do very well with making sure all my accidents are outside only. I could use some leash manners, but an ez walk harness should do me some good.
When we are in the car, I CALL SHOT GUN! I don't like to be behind my person.

-Pleaseee oh pleasee put in an application to come meet me! I'd love to be your furever girl!

We have some exciting news!!

We have always taken back our alumni dogs and we are proud to say, "Rescued for life!" No matter what life circumstances happen, ODHS is committed to ensuring the safety of our alumni dogs.

With that said, in the past we have only adopted to Virginia and the surrounding states. Well, that doesn't always make sense as you are driving.

We are excited to announce that ODHS is now adopting to a 350 mile radius of our adoption center! (See map to see if you are included!)

Our $50 out of state fee will still apply (it allows us the funding to retrieve dogs from long distances if needed). Did you know ODHS has gone as far as California, Florida and Georgia to retrieve our dogs before!?

Multi dog households MUST bring their dogs to meet the potential adoptee. ODHS does not ship dogs and all adopters must meet their potential dog in person before adopting.

How often do you wash your bowls?

Have you ever wondered about that “slimy coating” in your pet’s water bowl? Here in Arizona, it’s especially important to keep these bowls clean or you could wind up with a lot of hard water toxins and a nasty thing called biofilm. What is Biofilm? Biofilm is a collection of good and bad bac...
