About this shelter

Island Dog Rescue in Virginia Beach, VA

Island Dog Rescue is dedicated to saving and rehabilitating dogs in need, particularly those from high-kill shelters. Our mission is to provide a safe haven for these animals, ensuring they receive proper medical care, love, and socialization before finding them permanent, loving homes. We work tirelessly to raise awareness about the importance of adoption and responsible pet ownership. Through community outreach, volunteer efforts, and partnerships with local organizations, we strive to make a positive impact on the lives of dogs and their future families.

Before you go

Adopting from Island Dog Rescue

Adoption process

Potential adopters or fosters must complete an application and participate in an interview with one of our volunteers. Once approved, they can arrange meet-and-greets with the dogs available for adoption. All adoptions begin as a trial period, and upon finalization, a contract will be signed. We require all animals to be spayed or neutered. The fee for most adoptions is $395.
