***Update: Owner Located***

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!

📢 A message from your friendly Animal Protection staff at New Kent Animal Shelter:

Remember when we said we added more kennels so we could help more animals?

WELL.
The animals took that personally.

Every time we clean a kennel, another dog appears like:
👁️👄👁️ “I live here now.”

The cats have formed a tiny but rapidly growing union.
The puppies are committing crimes at record speed.
And someone keeps teaching the hounds how to sing.

And despite adding more kennels… they are STILL filled with these sweet souls!

Friends — we desperately need adopters. These animals do not want to grow up in a shelter. They want couches, beds, toys, snacks, car rides, tiny sweaters, and someone to love them unconditionally. We want to find them someone who tells them they’re still cute even when they attempt to eat rocks or dig holes to the middle of the earth.

Our staff is tired and Our laundry situation is terrifying.

But these animals are SO worth it.

Please come adopt. Or foster. Or share our posts. Your new best friend is probably sitting here right now wondering why nobody has come for them yet 💛 Adoption Is only $20.00!

You can see all of our available animals on our website as well: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/shelter/new-kent-sheriffs-office-animal-protection

***UPDATE: All dogs are safely back home now! Thank you for sharing!***

***Quaker Rd / Cosby Mill***
***13300 Blk. Of New Kent Hwy***

Hey Everyone, We are currently trying to locate the owners of three dogs that recently came into our shelter.

The first dog was found yesterday running loose near the intersection of Quaker Rd. and Cosby Mill Rd. She is wearing a teal collar with no tags. She appears clean, well cared for, and is very sweet.

The other two dogs were found this morning in the 13300 block of New Kent Hwy. One is male and the other is female. The male was wearing a collar with what appears to be an electronic fence or tracking device attached. Both dogs are friendly and appear to have been well cared for.

If any of these dogs belong to you, or if you recognize them and know who their owners may be, please contact us at 804-966-9500 or stop by the shelter at:
