Click here to see more Dogs at Wythe County Dog Shelter


Wythe County Dog Shelter is located at 600 Atkins Mill Road, Wytheville, VA, 24382 and provides a variety of services to the residents and animals in the area. Visitation at other times is by appointment only. To contact animal control or the shelter please call (276) 228-6003

See Found Dogs on the WCDS Facebook page

WARNING: Not all dogs at the shelter are listed on the facebook page. If you have lost your dog go to the shelter to check.

Dogs collected by the Bland County dog warden are taken to Wythe County Dog Shelter. If you have lost your dog, go to the shelter because the shelter staff 'may not recognise your description of your dog'. You only have 5 days to claim your dog. Have your dog microchipped and make sure your contact details are up to date so that ownership cannot be disputed. It may save your dogs life!

We welcome enquiries from potential adopters and animal rescues. If you are not a resident of Wythe County or one of the adjacent counties, contact your local rescue to see if they will rescue the dog for you. Please phone about a specific dog rather than e-mail which may not be read in time. For information regarding the dog featured, please contact Wythe County Animal Control NOW on (276) 228-6003. We keep stray dogs 5 days so that the owner can claim them but you can express an interest before the 'available' date. The date the dog is listed as 'available' is NOT the day it will be put down but we may only keep the dog for 5 days after the 'available' date.

Too Many Wonderful Dogs at the Humane Society for Campbell County
The Humane Society for Campbell County in Rustburg, VA is always overflowing with wonderful dogs. It currently has a number of owner surrenders that need loving homes, as well as dogs in the pound that need help. Please see click here for a full listing.

The Adoption Fee varies from animal to animal and will depend on the amount of care given to the dog. Care includes, but is not limited to: spay/neuter, vaccinations, heartworm testing, deworming, treatment with Frontline, special vet care, microchipping, temperament-tested dogs who have been in foster care, house training, grooming, and socializing. Some dogs are in foster homes. While these dogs are not in danger of being PTS, moving one into rescue frees up that foster home to take another dog in need!
Contact: Barbe nomordogs@yahoo.com
Vetting: All dogs are dewormed. Other vetting offered at cost that shelter pays; please contact nomordogs@yahoo.com for a quote.
