Animal Shelters in Virginia

Virginia has 511 listed animal shelters and rescue organizations, spread across 114 counties. The mix is fairly even between rescue organizations and animal shelters. Richmond has more than any other Virginia city, followed by Alexandria and Norfolk. There is no shortage of choice in Virginia — old dogs, shy cats, and a fair few who will pick you first.

Virginia has 511 listed at the moment, and they are shown above with the ones that have photos first. Open any of them for the full address, contact details and opening hours.

A mix of both, and the difference is worth knowing before you set out. A rescue usually places animals from a network of foster homes rather than from premises you can walk into, so you generally arrange a meeting first. A shelter or humane society more often has a facility you can visit during opening hours.

Richmond has more than anywhere else in Virginia, followed by Alexandria, Norfolk and Virginia Beach. They are the usual place to start if you are willing to travel; the sidebar links straight through to each.

Fairfax, Prince William and Loudoun counties have the most, though listings reach 114 of Virginia's counties in total. The city links in the sidebar are usually the quicker way in.

Most listings here carry a phone number, and most link to the organization's own website. Calling ahead is worth it — opening hours change, and rescues often work by appointment rather than keeping a building open.
