Over the last 5 years that the shop has been open, we have received MANY calls at all hours letting us know that someone has found a dog or cat located in the Isle of Wight County area and they don’t know what to do because the Isle of Wight County Animal Shelter is closed. We have started this After Hours Rescue to help just for this reason. Many thanks to Howard Holloman, otherwise known as the “Hound Hunter”, for agreeing to be the Rescue Coordinator. The Rescue will be “on call” the hours that the Isle of Wight County Animal Shelter is closed:
Monday through Saturday after 4:00 pm until 10:00 am the following morning, and all day Sunday until 10:00 am on Monday morning.
If you have found an animal during these hours please call 757-334-0738. All the information you have on the animal will be gathered and our Rescue Coordinator will come to pick up the dog or cat.
The rescue coordinator will take the animal to a safe shelter until the Isle of Wight County Animal Shelter is open and able to accept it.
We are hoping this will help keep lost pets safe until they can be reunited with their families. Please share this service with others.
