☀️🐾 Extreme Heat is Headed Our Way – Please Keep Your Pets Safe! 🐾☀️

As temperatures rise across our area, it’s important to remember that the heat can be dangerous—and even deadly—for our pets.

Here are a few simple ways to keep your furry family members safe:

🐶 Make sure they always have access to fresh, cool water.

🌳 Provide plenty of shade if your pet spends time outdoors.

🚶 Walk dogs during the early morning or late evening when temperatures are cooler.

🔥 Avoid hot pavement! If it’s too hot for your hand, it’s too hot for your pet’s paws.

🚗 Never leave a pet in a parked vehicle, even for a few minutes. Temperatures inside a car can become fatal very quickly.

🐾 Watch for signs of heat exhaustion, including excessive panting, drooling, weakness, vomiting, or collapse. If you notice these signs, move your pet to a cool area immediately and contact a veterinarian.

it is illegal to have a dog on tether at any time when the temperature is above 85 degrees. If you would like to talk to an Animal Protection Deputy about a violation of the law please give us a call at 804-966-9500.

Stay cool and stay safe! ❤️🐾

📣 FOUND DOG - PINE FORK PARK 📣

If this is your dog, or if you may know where he belongs, please contact us at 804-966-9500. Our shelter is almost at maximum capacity for dogs, and we would love to reunite him with his family as soon as possible.

Please share this post to help us find his owner.

🐾 PUPPY ALERT! 🐾

Who wants a puppy that already knows how to fetch? 🎾

Meet Flanagan! This handsome pup is estimated to be 4–6 months old and is full of energy, personality, and love. He already knows how to play fetch and would be thrilled to spend hours running, playing, and making memories with his new family.

Flanagan loves being around people and is looking for a furever home that will help him burn off some puppy energy while still giving him plenty of cuddles and affection. ❤️

No puppy should have to grow up in a shelter, so we're hoping to find Flanagan the loving home he deserves as soon as possible.

📍 J. Joseph McLaughlin Jr. Animal Shelter
7087 Airport Rd.
Quinton, VA 23141
📞 804-966-9500

And the best part is, thanks to a generous donation, Flanagan’s adoption is FREE!

If Flanagan isn't the perfect fit for your family, we have many other wonderful dogs waiting for homes too!

🐾 We Need Your Help! 🐾

The shelter has taken in a large number of dogs recently, many of whom were found running loose or abandoned. Because of this increase in intake, we have been going through our dry dog food supplies much faster than normal and are beginning to run low.

If you would like to help support the animals in our care, we have updated our Amazon Wish List with several types of dry dog food that we currently use at the shelter.

Every donation, no matter the size, helps us continue providing quality care to the dogs that depend on us.

Thank you for always supporting the animals of New Kent County and helping us give these dogs a safe place to stay while they wait for their forever homes. ❤️🐶

🎉👮 Congratulations to our newest Animal Protection Deputy! 🐾🎉

Yesterday marked the beginning of an exciting journey in animal welfare, public service, and community protection. We are proud to welcome our newest Animal Protection Deputy Farmer as she starts her career dedicated to helping animals and serving our community.

This role takes compassion, dedication, courage, and a commitment to making a difference every single day. It requires patience and understanding when working with animals in difficult situations, as well as empathy when assisting pet owners and community members.

Animal Protection Deputies often face challenging circumstances, making it essential to balance professionalism with kindness while advocating for the well-being of animals. From protecting vulnerable animals to educating the public and supporting responsible pet ownership, the work ahead is both challenging and incredibly rewarding.

Please join us in congratulating her as she embarks on this new chapter! We know she will make a positive impact on the lives of countless animals and the people who care for them.
Welcome to the team—we can't wait to see all the amazing things you'll accomplish! 🐶🐱❤️

Does anyone recognize this dog? This sweet older female was found this morning in the area of Woodbrook and Walnut. She does have a collar, but no ID or chip. Please contact us if you know where she lives. Our shelter is very loud and she is missing home.

Rainy days at the shelter just mean extra zoomies, muddy paws, and dogs living their absolute best lives. 🌧️🐾

In between the rain storms today, these pups turned their outing into a party. Watching them play together reminds us that happiness doesn’t have to be perfect — sometimes it’s just wet fur, wagging tails, and a yard full of friends.

Today’s rain champions were brother and sister duo Flanagan and Harleigh — a goofy 4–6 month old puppy pair! 🐶 These two are full of puppy energy, sibling shenanigans, and nonstop tail wags… and they’re both available for adoption!

And of course, Chunk joined the rainy day fun too. ❤️ This sweet boy is still waiting patiently for a home of his own. Through every mud hole, belly flop, and happy tail wag, Chunk keeps reminding us what resilient, loving dogs shelter pets can be. We know his people are out there somewhere.

If interested in adopting, please call us tomorrow to set up a meet-n-greet!
