Our Featured Pet...

Meet Gypsy: She's a very outgoing 8-9 week old kitten, torti/calico mixed. She came in with a horrible abscess on her cheek, under her ear. She was taken to the vet and is now being treated with antibiotics and they found ear mites, which she's also being treated for.

News

Some dedicated, animal loving citizens have come together and formed a non-profit, all volunteer group to help save more pound animals. The New Kent Humane Society, Inc. was formed in Jan. 2009 and needs more volunteers and foster homes so they can help save more animals. Here is the link to their website to find out more about them and how you can help: http://www.newkenthumane.org

ATTENTION: This site is not a full listing of all current dogs in the New Kent Sheriff's Office Animal Control Pound facility. It is for dogs available for adoption and some courtesy posts. If you have lost your dog, call us to report it missing and visit the pound directly during the hours listed below. Remember: In accordance with VA Animal Laws: Pets are personal property AND if you have found a pet in New Kent County, you MUST call us at 804 966-9500 and report it as found, with a description and your contact information. No matter how bad of condition you think it's in, it may have been lost for a long while and a caring owner may be looking to reclaim it. You do not have to turn the found animal into the pound, but you must report it as found.

Link to VDACS for Virginia Comprehensive Animal Care Laws: http://www.vdacs.virginia.gov/animals/index.shtml Licensing: Returning pets to their owners is very important to us. We strive to get every dog licensed in New Kent County. Licensing your dog will help protect him/her from becoming just another statistic. Annual license fee is only $6.00, if you have not purchased your 2009 County License, please do so right away, it's the law!!! Please help us increase the number of pets returned to their owners; keep ID and County License fastened on your dog's collar. If you lose your tag a replacement is available from the Treasurer's Office for the cost of $1.

Donate a Bed We have chosen Kuranda dog beds because they are so good for our dogs. We want to fill all of our kennels with these excellent beds. If you would like to donate a bed so that a lost or homeless dog can sleep in proper comfort, please click here.
