Halifax County Animal Shelter

Found 3 puppies one afternoon driving home in the middle of a busy road road. The pups were thin, hungry, shivering and dehydrated- i called animal control and reached the sheriffs office and was told there was nothing they could do after hours, there was no one they could tell me to call for help and to leave the puppies ? I Called animal control the next day after taking the pups home to care for and get out of the road and was told I had to bring the pups to them, whoever i talked with at animal control ( a lady) was " uh huh and uh ugh " and didn't seem.to be very interested in anything I had to say or ask regarding the pups. Shame on this county.

I called to report a stray male dog near my property, hoping to do the responsible thing. Instead of being met with professionalism and concern, I was met with rudeness, attitude, and complete dismissiveness. I explained that I have two dogs of my own that are very territorial, and I had to secure them inside my house in fear of a potential fight. When I tried to communicate this, the person who answered the phone—whether receptionist or staff—showed no concern for the situation and handled me with a tone that was disrespectful and unnecessary. If your job is to work with the public and animals, professionalism and compassion should come first. If you can’t meet people with basic respect, then this isn’t the right profession. Very disappointed in this experience.

Went by to take a look at their available pets and everyone was very friendly and willing to help.

They where very understanding and made me feel welcome, during a very hard decision I had to make.

Called about a stray female dog staying around and then on our property. Tried to post her on social media also. We were hoping she had a family looking for her. We wouldn't be able to keep her here unfortunately because of our male dog freaking out (every night and day for weeks).. She was a sweetie though. Props to Jackie who came out to get her ( you could tell she is an absolute animal lover) she was incredibly nice & calm dealing with the dog. Thank you to HCAS I really hope the sweet girl goes to a good, loving home.
