Kicking off the week with a wonderful pose from Delilah. This one year old is elegantly lovely with a beautiful, glossy coat. She has her sit down perfectly and walks quite well on a leash. Delilah takes great joy from a leisurely walk with a favorite person. She makes quite charming eye contact. Delilah seems rather dog selective so a meet and greet will be necessary for her opinion on a possible canine sibling! It seems a good sibling fit for Delilah is not a dominant female dog. Delilah is very motivated to form relationships with humans . She will be a fabulous companion. Our cat room is open to meet kitties today, Monday, 11:00 to 3:00. (.We won't be showing dogs temporarily due to an airborne virus some of our dogs have) We are happy to answer any questions about Delilah of our other shelter pets and will continue to post pictures for your viewing pleasure. We still have walk-in hours Monday and Thursday 11-3 and Saturday 11-2 to show the cats and assist the community with intakes such as stray/homeless dogs or surrenders.
We are also always happy to give you an appointment for meet and greets that will work with your schedule. To make an appointment please give the shelter a call at 804 580 6156, leaving a message if there is no answer. To learn more about our pets in search of forever homes please take a look at our website www.friendsncas.org If you have already fallen in love with one of our kitties or pups, you can submit an adoption application ahead of time. Our paperwork is on our website www.friendsncas.org You'll find pictures of more of our dogs and cats for adoption on our website as well! Heartfelt thanks to Animal Welfare League of the Northern Neck for your generosity in paying all of our shelter pets spaying and neutering

Happy weekend from Radar! He has come so far since he arrived at tbe shelter. Radar has made many frlends since he arrived. Shelter life is quite an adjustment when dogs first arrive. Radar was scared, reactive and tentative at first. When he saw other pups going out for walks and playtime he realized maybe he should turn his charm on. Now it is game on at playtime! Radar is 50 very good looking pounds and just a year and a few months old. Thank you Animal Welfare League of the Northern Neck for paying for Radar's neutering. We are deeply appreciative of your generosity. Radar still needs time to warm up to new people. Please take the time to meet outside the kennel so you can see his engaging smile once we reopen for dog meet and greets. Un the meantime, we can answer any questions, or if you have fallen in love with one of our shelter dogs, you can submit an adoption application. Please take a look at our website www.friendsncas.org for more info on adopting or volunteering and more pictures! Our cat room is open to meet kitties Thursday 11:00 to 3:00 and Saturday 11:00 to 2:00. We will be closed Monday, Labor Day..WE WON'T BE SHOWING DOGS TEMPORARILY DUE TO AN AIRBORNE VIRUS.
