We found a cat on the side of the road that was injured, we called them up and they were able to take her in and get inspected and make sure she was nice and healthy. After a single day, I already have the adoption photos up on their website ready to go. The inside of this place was populous and they had a wide selection of animals to choose from. You're going to adopt adopt from here

Hi Madison, If you could call our front office at 382-8081 they can get you scheduled for that. We had to temporarily close our small animal room, but should have it opened by the end of this week. There is a small waiting list, but only because we had to close the room.

Chesapeake Animal Services Unit | Oct 9, 2020

Animal Services does take in reptiles, but currently we have some construction going on in our lobby and we cannot utilize our small animal adoption room. We are asking citizens to hold off on small animal surrenders until the room is open again. Please check with a local rescue group called Viper if you are in need of re-homing a snake sooner than we can assist.

We have a goose in our neighborhood with a hurt wing. Iv noticed that all the other geese are gone, assuming heading south. I’m worried this little guy won’t make in through the winter. Can this place help him?

Sarah Smoot | Oct 10, 2018

What is the purpose of the question

We recently adopted a sweet little dog from your facility. We were told he was vet checked and all he needed was a rabies shot and we were able to bring him home. Since we have had him home he has had a terrible hacking cough.Advise? Kennel Cough?

kate Hinchman | Oct 10, 2018
Dawn Murch | Oct 10, 2019

Hi, l adopted a 5yr old beagle from VBAnimal Care and Adoption Center in Dec. I found out that Beagles and other dogs eat too fast and cause acid reflux that makes them cough. She was 13 lbs. Our vet prescribed half a Pepcid ac tab and half omeprazole tab which is pantrozole tab. She upset her stomach eating too fast. Chewy has a rubber sticky thing you put in a dog food dish to slow the animal down. This holds true for any dog and you can stop the cough as easy as this. If you have a vet, you can take the dog there. I spent over $3000 in medical bills for her but we had to put her down in Mar anyway bcuz we found a fast growing tumor on her spleen and she was bleeding internally. She had developed anemia. Kaopectate was given for diarrhea. Use these products when you need help for all this. It will help you save money. I wish you well. She slept and went to sleep peacefully.

How do i get rid of an opossum?

Vicki Kolenda | Oct 10, 2018
Chesapeake Animal Services Unit | Oct 10, 2018

Hi Vicki! I am not sure where you are having this possum pop up on your property, but typically they are either seeking shelter, food or water. I have a yearly visitor under my deck and she always has her babies under there. Before I let my dogs outside I always turn the light on and open/close the door 2 times to give all the yard critters a chance to escape. Possum are very harmless though and if you eliminate the resource they are seeking then they will usually go away. The fact that it can get up the tree is a good sign that it is healthy. If you have a shed or deck that it may get under try throwing some moth balls under there. They don't like the smell of that. If you have any bird feeders that will also attract all wild animals too. She may be huge because she is pregnant or carrying her babies in her pouch right now...
