WELCOME
Stafford County Animal Shelter provides temporary sheltering for stray animals and animals given up by their owners. The shelter is defined as an “open admission” shelter, meaning we do not turn animals, who live in Stafford County, away. As an open-admission shelter, we take in sick and/or injured animals , animals from people who can no longer care for them, as well as stray pets. Our goal is to find a loving home for every adoptable animal at our shelter.
The shelter is open:
Monday-Friday 11:00am - 5:30pm
Saturday 9:30am - 4:00pm
CLOSED Sundays and Holidays
*Please note the animal shelter stops adoptions at 5:00pm through the week and 3:30pm on Saturdays*
An Animal Control Officer is available 24 hours a day. If you have an after hours animal control related concern, please call 540-658-4400. We do not recommend leaving a voicemail for calls that are considered an emergency.

You can make a world of difference in a shelter pet’s life by donating a Kuranda bed. These beds keep pets comfortable and dry off the floor. They are easy to keep clean, odor free and last for years. Prices are specially discounted for donation and items ship directly to the shelter in your name. You can donate here: DONATE A BED.
