Donate to Scott County Animal Shelter

Please Donate to Help the Dogs and Cats
Scott County Animal Shelter has been staying very full over the past month and we have had MANY large litters of puppies surrendered to our shelter. Any donations you can make to our shelter will be GREATLY APPRECIATED. You can drop donations off at the shelter. The attendant is usually there between 8am and 2pm Monday-Friday. You are welcome to call 276-452-1325 before you make the trip. Thank you.

We need:

• Dry dog food (Pedigree or Purina Dog Chow),


• Purina Puppy Chow,


• Canned dog food (for our senior babies),


• Treats (Milk Bones, Pup-Peroni, Beggin Bacon Strips),


• Liquid Laundry Detergent,


• Flea medication


• towels,


• dish towels/washcloths


• blankets,


• basic cleaning supplies


• plastic dog beds

No Squeeky Toys Please
Toys that make a noise when you squeeze them can encourage some dogs to be aggressive towards young children because they squeek too. The device that makes the noise is usually small and can be harmful if swallowed. Some toys of this type contain a small battery which is poisonous if the dog eats it. The best toys are tuggers, tennis balls and hard chew toys that cannot be ripped apart.

Scott County Animal Shelter is a small rural facility in the southwest of Virginia. While Scott County Animal Shelter is not yet a no-kill facility, this is a goal we strive to achieve each and every day. We are also fortunate enough to work with some amazing rescue groups and dedicated individuals who help us move animals to safety each and every week.
