Animals available for adoption can be found on PetFinder.com.
The Amherst County Animal Care Center has dogs, cats, and occasionally other animals available for adoption. Adoptions are made available through the Adoption Center, which is operated by the Amherst County Humane Society. Adoption viewing will be public at scheduled times. If you arrive before the designated viewing hours, you may wait until the scheduled hours or return at the appropriate times.
Virginia law requires that all dogs and cats adopted from the Adoption Center be spayed or neutered as part of the adoption process. The adoption fee includes the spaying and neutering surgery fee.
The Animal Care Center staff will be available to provide information about the animals and to answer questions. Adopting an animal represents a commitment to care for the animal for many years. Adopters are encouraged to spend as much time with the chosen animal to ensure it matches their home and lifestyle best.
Remember that even though we take the best possible care of animals at our Care Center, we do not always know their prior medical history or vaccination status. We perform basic health checkups but do not have veterinarians on staff.
