If you don't have a fully fenced in yard they will not allow you to adopt a dog. This shelter has a 75% kill rate because they (the woman who runs it) would rather kill the pets then adopt them out to a loving home. You are much better off going to the Pittsylvania County Pet Center on Rt 29. They will do everything to put you with the right pet because they don't want to kill them. Go to their website first. It's full of great information and pics of available pets for adoption. Good luck with your search for a new family member.
I have been carrying birds that were injured out to them. Had I known they might be killed by them I would have not gone to them. I now have another one that is not very old at all and need where else I can take it.
