I adopted what I hoped would be a new forever pal from this center and I went into the process with the expectation that things would work out. Unfortunately, things went south, and I was bitten by the animal I got from here. That is not the shelters' fault. What bothered me about this center is how the dog's previous bite was downplayed when I went to visit him. In Virigina, a shelter is required to notify you if an animal has a history of biting. I was provided with this disclosure, but I was advised it as "puppy nipping". When reported my incident with the dog to the shelter the woman/girl who answered the phone was nonchalant about what happened with me. I get it, they are volunteers, they really don't care. What bothered me about this, is apparently the people who answer the phones don't pass on reports to whomever does follow-up calls to pet parents. I had to re-explain the story to that person. All in all, I get animal shelters are in a bit of crunch because so many pets come in and they want to get rid of them, but I it seems to me like this place cut corners all to get clear the shelter. I don't want to dissuade anyone from getting a pet here but ask questions and if they tell you an animal has a history of biting, be mindful in how they characterize the event.

Absolutely worst experience with this facility! I called on a wed and asked to make an apt for a dog in the shelter, was told they didn't have access to the appt tab and it wasn't necessary to come in and see an animal..So we drove over 2 hours only to get there and be told we needed an apt. So we asked about another dog and were told that if she wasn't taken by 1pm we could come in and see her only to then at one for told that now there was two other apts and we would need to wait till 3...It's terrible staffing like this that drives people to go to breeders and petsmart instead. Do better

It's Nov 21, 2020 why is Lucy still on Lynnhaven Parkway. 830 this morning a lady was walking her dog and Lucy came out how hard is that for animal control to do it's been well over a year

Clearly they do not have the resources to mount a Dog Walk line of volunteers, like a hundred people wide, and march through the area to "herd" her into a pen or something. It is just very sad. Amazing she is still alive!

We surrender our do yesterday evening but it was the wrong decision is there a way to get her back. I will pay the fees. Just didn’t know if we could get her back

How much do shots cost for kittens at the acac

Lisa Malmgren | Oct 9, 2020
Edmund Mounsey | Oct 9, 2020

I don't believe they do shots unless it's a kitten from them. If you need somewhere to go you can go to Acredale Animal hospital they are reasonable priced. Or you can go to pet supply right across from Acredale

I am looking for a small dog as a companion for my sister who is in her 70's and would like a little lap dog

Kathy Mcmahon | Oct 9, 2020

We found our dog using petfinder.com and he happened to be at this rescue. You can set the filter based on what you're looking for and change the radius so you're not driving very far. It makes it a little bit easier. The people at the shelter should also be able to help you. They seemed to have a very hands on approach with the dogs and even have some around the office from time to time. :)
