How You Can Help:

Adopt - We always offer same-day adoptions. We've featured only a few of our animals in this post, but you may visit Adopt an Animal | Louisa County, VA  to see images of all animals available for adoption. We ask that you visit us at 18 Sacred Heart Ave in Mineral, anytime Tues-Sat, 12-5pm to meet the animals. You may also complete our short Adoption Consultation Form at Adoption Consultation Form | Louisa County, VA  to allow staff to assist you in selecting the best animal for you and your family.

Reunite with Your Missing Animal - If your animal is missing, check images of strays at our shelter: Found Animals / Strays / Missing Animals | Louisa County, VA  If you see your animal, please contact us at 540-894-4219.

Rehome Your Pet - We encourage owners to rehome their own animals. The following sites may help you find a new home for your pet: Rehome.adoptapet.com, Getyourpet.com, Rehomeyourpets.com, and Home-Home.org.

Help If You Find a Stray - In the past, it was standard practice for lost pets to be brought into the shelter. However, we now know they have a much better chance of getting back home if some actions are taken in the neighborhoods where they're found, before they are brought to a shelter. In fact, the typical reclaim rate for lost pets is only 17% when a pet comes into the shelter. But when a pet is kept in a safe place in the neighborhood where they were found, that rate jumps to 70%. If you have a found an animal and it's possible, we ask that you do not remove the animal from its neighborhood. Please report the information through PawBoost and Lost.petcolove.org.
