The Louisa County Animal Shelter operates under guidelines of the Commonwealth of Virginia providing humane sheltering, care, adoption, and redemption of stray and surrendered animals. We strive to eliminate pet overpopulation by encouraging spay/neuter of animals, increase the public awareness by educating our citizens on responsible pet ownership, and to prevent any form of animal cruelty. We are a county pound and we must maintain a few open runs for new intakes at all times. When we do fill up we work very hard not to euthanize for space by calling out to adopters and rescues for help.
Create an alert, and we'll notify you every time a new pet comes in who meets your criteria.

Location is not an issue as all are spayed/neutered prior to going home
Additional adoption info
We do not alter dogs until they are adopted. Our surgery day is Wednesday, so most dogs can go home Wednesday night at around 6:30.
