Volunteers
Thanks to those that are currently volunteering in the shelter! You are a great help and the animals appreciate the time that you are spending. We are currently seeking more volunteers at the shelter. These volunteers will be taking and dispatching calls, light cleaning, socialization of animals, and various other tasks. If you are interested please call 685-1130 to obtain an application and set up a time for an orientation.
Who We Are
The purpose of the Bedford County Animal Control Agency is to collect and dispose of animals, limited to domestic dogs and cats, in a humane manner, by request of the citizens of Bedford County, excluding cities or towns. This collection is done for animals of known or unknown ownership, who pose a health threat or are running at large. Since this department is funded through the Special Purpose Tax Fund, we are able to limit the communities in which we pick up or receive animals from. If you have any questions regarding this, please feel free to call us. This department does pick-up animals found running in the roadway and impounds them, in accordance with state law.
Adopting a friend
Our adoption process is very easy!! The fee for adopting an animal is $65. This includes a $50 deposit that is refundable after proof of spaying/neutering the animal. Our facility contains an Adoption Room that will allow you and your family to spend quality time to ensure the right pet for you! All animals must leave with a current Rabies Vaccination. The current cost for this is $13.
Come Visit Us!
The shelter is now staffed during the day for viewing of animals and for dropping off animals. Give Brenda a call to schedule a time to come in.
