Announcement:

Since the pandemic our animal shelter has been open by appointment only. Starting this coming Monday, May 2nd, 2022, we will be adding walk-in hours.
To serve the potential adopters and the public better, appointments are still highly recommended and will be prioritized before walk-ins. We often have out of town or even out of state adopters with appointments already set up at certain time and they will be helped first. Our staff and volunteer numbers are limited, but we will do our best to assist anyone who is looking to adopt, the shelter visitors and the public.
Thank you for understanding and your support.

Appointments can be scheduled at 804-580-6156 Monday through Saturday
9:00am-3:00pm

Walk-in hours:
Monday and Thursday 11:00am-3:00pm
Saturday 11:00am-2:00pm

Holiday hours will differ

Hope to see you soon

The dogs intake was not fill out properly so now we are not sure about the location the dog was picked up by a citizen. All we know it was near Dollar General, possibly rt 360 in Burgess, or rt 3 either Lively or Farnham.

It's National Puppy Day and and a perfect time for Reesie to introduce himself! If you are looking for a lovable best buddy, Reesie may be your boy. He is about 8 months old with a delightful temperament. Reesie is friendly with people and has a very good attitude about other dogs. For a pup this age he is quite calm. He enjoys exercise and attention then has the ability to settle in for a rest. He has had his immunizations and through the generosity of A.W.L will be neutered. Reesie's previous owner reported that he did very well with house training and he tries to keep a clean kennel..He will probably be a quick study on house training. He enjoys toys and particularly likes having his favorite chew bone in his kennel. Although Reesie is relatively low key for a pup, he will need lots of play time, exercise and attention so he grows up to be a wonderful canine citizen. He is a 35 pound love bug! Although we do not currently have set, open to the public adoption hours, we are happy to introduce our dogs by appointment. Please note: if you have serious interest in one of our dogs or cats, you should submit an application and background clearance form ahead of time. These will be honored in the order they are received. The forms can be found on our website, www.friendsncas.org Please read the instructions carefully and sign your forms as well as submit a copy of your license. To make an appointment to meet one of our ever so fabulous dogs or cats please call the shelter at 804 580 6156 to make an appointment, leaving a message if there is no answer. We look forward to helping you find a loving companion!

Spring has sprung and Isla is letting her ears fly in celebration! This fun gal is even tempered and free spirited. Isla appears to never have a bad day or know a stranger. Her adventuresome spirit means she may dig under a fence to explore so Isla's wanderlust will need supervision. She is a happy go lucky girl who will toss a ball in the air for the sheer joy of it. Isla is a beautiful 45 pounds and about 2 years old. She has had her immunizations and through the generosity of A.W.L will be spayed. Isla appears to be very dog friendly and expects good things from everyone she meets. We do not currently have set, open to the public adoption hours but are happy to introduce our dogs or cats by appointment. If you would like to meet Isla, or any of our other dogs or cats, please call the shelter at 804 580 6156 to make an appointment, leaving a message if no answer. We recommend submitting the adoption application and background clearance form ahead of your visit and they can be found on our website www.friendsncas.org You will find pictures of some of our cats and dogs for adoption on our website as well. We look forward to helping you find a new loving companion!

GERF Friends!
We are working with the Northumberland Sheriff's Office to temporarily provide a safe haven at GERF for these three beauties 🐴 and to restore their health. These sweet babies arrived neglected and in poor condition with no running water on property. The strong bond between these gentle horses is very noticeable and our goal, if possible, is to keep them together. We would love to have them stay at GERF as their “forever home” if we can get FULL time sponsorship.
If you are interested, please message us for more details. If you know someone that is willing to provide a forever home for them, let us know too. We are also accepting donations to assist us in providing shelter and restoring their health.

Please share so we can be their voice and give them the quality life they deserve. We will continue to post updates and pics! We are a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to providing a forever home to horses.❤️🐴

You have all probably heard the saying “These dogs are like owning a corvette”

And you might have rolled your eyes. 👀👀

Because a dog is not a car. So stupid to even compare.

While I understand that a dog is not like a vehicle there is a connection between the two, driving an old beat up Honda hatchback (that was most people’s first car) is VERY different than driving a sports car that accelerates with the tap of the gas pedal.

Now let’s compare breeds like the above stated car example.

Handling a Labrador Retriever or similar breed that is happy go lucky and a wiggle butt fanatic is very different than handling a working breed that has been crafted to be high energy, high to arousal at the drop of a pin.

Driving a fast car is like handling a fast dog. It’s exciting and scary all at the same time.

You accelerate to much and next thing you know you crashed into a tree.

You handle your working dog wrong and without knowledge and next thing you know, your dog is biting the neighbor kid.

Now let’s turn the tables. You do everything correctly.

You drive the fast car with skill and finesse and you are a great driver , who maybe has the skill set to race on your free time at the near by race track.

You handle the high drive dog correctly, you did your research and know how to handle problems that will arise. You train obedience, you expose your puppy to all the right things, you train on all the exercises your trainer gives you and you get in a ton of reps each day. Your dog is a badass and has the ability to compete in akc sports and title or other bite sports and title and contribute to the breed as a whole.

This dog below is Kojac. I don’t know his breeder, I don’t know his come up and I don’t know how he was treated. I do know that he has potential. I could see that as soon as I pulled him out of his kennel this morning.

I am very excited for this dog’s future and hope he can fill a working role.
