We have several animals that URGENTLY need to find homes! These pets have been at the shelter the longest amount of time and face being put to sleep in order to make room for incoming animals.
For adoption info, please call the shelter at Twin Oaks at 336-372-8744.

 Dolly |
I've Been Adopted! Dolly is a Husky/Aust. Shep. mix, about 6 mos. old. She is an outgoing puppy that gets along great with other dogs. She is not a howler or very barky. She loves to play! | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
 Hannah |
URGENT: Hannah is a 1 year old Black & Tan Coonhound mix. Hannah is a silly puppy who still loves to play. She’d benefit from basic obedience training. She may jump and/or play-bite and would not be suitable for small children. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

 Tulip |
Tulip is a ~2 year old hound mix (about 30 lbs full grown) that came in VERY pregnant. Tulip is now in foster care, waiting to give birth. Tulip is a very sweet and gentle girl who is very playful and fiesty! She's easy to handle on a leash, and so far has had no housetraining accidents. Tulip gets along great with our 2 big dogs, and likes children too. Tulip tends to ignore our cat. Her greatest drawback is that she jumps on us for attention, but we are working on changing that bad habit. She does fine off-leash too, will go off and do her business, then come back. She is a "people" dog and just wants to be where we are - she loves to cuddle on your lap on the couch and just relax and watch TV with you (when she's not nursing her 11 babies). Tulip has 11 puppies for adoption, they were born April 29 and will be ready to adopt mid-June. The pups are all healthy, active, and very very cute! They just opened their eyes (at week 2) and will be dewormed (at week 3). They will have their first parvo shot (at week 6) upon adoption. Their adoption fee is $20 to cover these medical expenses. If you might be interested in adopting Tulip or one of her pups, please contact Robyn, the foster mom at 336-363-9187 or AlleghanyAnimals@yahoo.com. |

As consumers, we have the power to
stop the cruel cycle of animal abuse perpetuated by puppy mills. When we buy a pet or even shop at a store that sells puppies,
we contribute to a heartless underground industry that forces dogs to
spend their entire lives in cages constantly breeding to support consumer
demand for puppies. Take the pledge
to stop puppy mills!
Why breed or buy when shelter
animals die?

Dogs Deserve Better! No Chained Dogs!Would you for one second choose to live the life of these dogs? No matter what reason is given, the bottom line is that it is NOT ok to chain a dog for life. Dogs should not have to live chained or penned as prisoners, yearning for a place in a family, craving acknowledgement, respect, and love. They DESERVE BETTER, and we as caretakers have the obligation to provide it for them. |
Donations are urgently needed to help feed and maintain the
animals at the local shelter.
We desperately need the following:

The Alleghany Animal Shelter is managed by Twin Oaks Veterinary Hospital in Sparta, NC. The shelter receives unwanted dogs, cats, kittens, and puppies dropped off by residents of Alleghany County. The shelter also receives stray animals collected by the dog catcher.
Adopting a pet is quick and easy! The adoption fee is $15 plus a $10 rabies shot (for animals over 6 months of age). We highly recommend updating each animal adopted with ALL vaccines and spaying/neutering prior to leaving the facility. There is no adoption application (unless the pet is listed under "Save a Pet Foundation"), it's just first come, first serve; however, you can place a "Hold" on an animal over the phone using a credit card.
