Adopt A Pet
 Dogs
and cats are available for adoption at the Hanover County Pound
Facility. Only Hanover County residents or adjoining County residents
are able to adopt non-sterilized animals. By state law, anyone who
adopts a dog or cat must have their new pet sterilized. Any Virginia
citizen may adopt animals that have already been sterilized. All
forms needed to verify sterilization are available at the Animal
Control Facility.
Adoption fees for all dogs and cats are currently
$50.00 which includes the sterilization cost that is mandatory.
If you are interested in adopting a pet contact the County
