It was Hound Happy Hour ( minus the beverages!) In the shelter play yard yesterday. Both Laurel and Marko stopped their playing long enough to stop and introduce themselves! Laurel is 3 years old, with the most beautiful brown eyes and an easy temperament. Marko is 5 years old and seems to never have a bad day, expecting good things from life. Marko was treated for heartworm through Friends of the Northumberland County Animal Shelter funds- thank you to all for the community fundraisers, your donations and purchases at our Thrift Shop. Laurel has been spayed and Marko neutered through Animal Welfare League of the Northern Neck Thank you, A.W.L! Laurel and Marko are both in search of a forever home. They are people friendly and appear open to good times with other dogs.

WEILER was our featured dog yesterday. When a dog has been waiting for a forever home for a while an outing or a new toy can brighten their day. Weiler is thrilled with this new ball a volunteer brought him! Pure joy.

11/04/2026

When it comes to looks, Weiler has it all going on. Yes, he is exceedingly handsome. Quite the stunner. A wonderful companion needs to be more than good looks. Weiler is working on being his best self, particularly how to settle himself. The shelter environment can be a challenge for dogs. Imagine having so many housemates and new roommates moving in constantly with quirks and chatting! Weiler has grown quite fond of some of his kennel next door neighbors- especially the " ladies" and smaller dogs. Weiler absolutely loves being in the play yard, his time there running and chasing kongs. He also had a grand time in the kiddie pool during the hot weather. Weiler is 60 punds of the aforementioned handsomeness and about 2 years old. He has been neutered through the generosity of Animal Welfare League of the Northern Neck Thank you A.W.L! Weiler does best when he is knows what is expected of him. Weiler is looking for a forever home with a consistent, calm human. He will return the love by learning quickly and becoming a loyal friend. We will be posting a little later a video of Weiler having a grand time in the play yard with a new toy.
Northumberland County Animal Shelter is open to meet our cats and dogs on Monday 11:00 to 3:00; Thursday 11:00 to 3:00 and Saturday 11:00 to 2:00. We are happy to introduce them other times, by appointment, by calling the shelter at 804 580 6156. Scheduling an appointment is a fabulous way to meet some of our dogs or cats. You can mention when you call for an appointment, the personality and energy level of your ideal companion and get some one on one attention when you arrive!
To learn more about our pets in search of forever homes please take a look at our website www.friendsncas.org If you have already fallen in love with Weiler or one of our other dogs or kitties, you can submit an adoption application ahead of time.

Satin is just a little over a year old, with so much love to give. Thank you to wonderful volunteer Karen for capturing Satin's black kitty beauty and stunning eyes. Satin has lived with other kitties in the past so is open to feline friends. Lace, who we recently posted, is Satin's half sister. Lovely temperaments seem to run on their family tree! Animal Welfare League of the Northern Neck will generously cover the cost of Satin's spay at local veterinarians. Thank you, A.W.L! Satin is waiting for her human love match to come meet her!

UPDATE ON RINA We have an update on Rina. Rina was adopted on Saturday but turned out to be not the right fit for the adopters. Rina is about 66 pounds and can get to pulling on the leash with some strenth. This is something that is being worked on at the shelter. The adopters found Rina to be affectionate, fun and friendly. Rina is very good natured and enthusiastic but at not much over a year her puppy ways sometimes take over. She is quite beautiful with her stunning black coat and expressive face. She is doing quite well with keeping her kennel clean so house training should go smoothly. Rina loves the play yard and seems open to dog friendships if they are a good match for her play style.
SEE ABOVE PARAGRAPH.Happy adoption update: Rina has found her human love matches and forever home. We are thrilled for her! Many thanks to the adopters. We wish you much joy with Rina.

Poppy was her usual happy natured self wearing a tutu and a great smile.She handled dressup with aplomb. Poppy seems open to friendships with other dogs and good with every staff person and volunteer she meets. Her disposition is stellar. She came in as a stray and has come to the decision that attention and affection from humans is a thing to be savored. Poppy is heartworm positive and will be treated through Friends of the Northumberland County Animal Shelter. A huge thank you to the community fundraisers, donations and purchases at our Thrift Shop that pay for medical treatments such as the numerous heartworm positive dogs that arrive at our shelter. Poppy was spayed through the generosity of Animal Welfare League of the Northern Neck Thank you, A.W.L. Poppy is about 3 years old and 50 ever so cute pounds.

Some seasonal photos of our ever so wonderful, adoptable dogs. They have been donning costumes, bow ties and autumn garland in anticipation of a chance to get their cute faces seen. Shown are Rhea, Braden, Gracie Mae and Atlas. Rhea has friendly enthusiasm and loves attention, Braden thrives when a person he cares about takes the lead so he knows what to expect, Gracie Mae has an elegance about her. She is calm lady with bursts of energy, especially if it involves a game of fetch! Atlas has friendly exuberance. He views each outing to a play yard with much excitement. Any of these four dogs will make an outstanding companion. Please take a look at our website www.friendsncas.org for more about them!
