November is Animal Shelter Appreciation Month!

Isle of Wight County Animal Services (IOWCAS) takes in all strays and owner surrenders from within the county

On intake, we do a basic exam, get their weight, and give preventations for pests

We then house them temporarily, until they find their forever homes! This includes daily kennel cleaning, feeding, maintaining vet care, walking dogs, making enrichment, and so much more!

Taking pictures is important for sharing our adoptable dogs and cats (and rabbits) on social media!

IOWCAS partners (Pawtners) with local businesses for fundraising and to boost adoptions! You can find our staff and volunteers at several upcoming events!

How can you help IOWCAS?
🐾Volunteer! Apply online. Our next orientation is November 29th 2PM Productions
🐾Donations! We have a physical donation list (in the comments below) and we accept monetary donations in person and online (link in bio)
🐾Follow us on FB and IG! Like, comment, and share!

The staff and volunteers at IOWCAS are invaluable. Not only to the animals we see daily, but as a resource to the community!

❤️Show them some love in the comments below!

🐶 We heard it's National Treat Your Dog Day!

Though, that's every day if we ask the dogs!

Most of our adoptable dog's favorite treats come from Pet Paradise in Carrollton! 😍

💗 WE WEAR PINK 💗

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness, show support, and honor those whose lives have been touched by breast cancer. But for many of our staff and volunteers at Isle of Wight County Animal Services, the impact of breast cancer, and cancer as a whole, goes far beyond a month on the calendar.

Behind every pink shirt is a story. A mother, an aunt, a cousin, a friend, a volunteer, or a loved one. Some are still fighting, some have won their battles, and some are forever remembered. Each of our team members wears pink for someone special.

Here’s who we’re wearing pink for:
💗 Chief Kearney wears pink for her mother, who beat breast cancer 15 years ago and is now facing breast cancer once again, this time at stage 4.

💗 Kennel Attendant Blyth wears pink for his Aunt Faith Manzer and cousin Hope Mullaney, who are both now in remission.

💗 Kennel Attendant Horswill wears pink for her Aunt Amy, who is in remission, and her dear friend Peggy, who lost her battle in 2015.

💗 ACO Garrett wears pink in support of our volunteer Renee, who is helping her daughter navigate this very battle at such a young age.

💗 ACO Rosenbalm wears pink in support of our volunteer Karen, who has very recently fought this battle herself.

💗 Kennel Attendant Garrett wears pink in honor of all those close to us who have lost their lives to cancer, and those who have lost someone they love.

💗 Kennel Attendant Harrell wears pink for all those who may be affected by this battle in the future.

While we spend our days caring for animals, we never forget the people behind the stories. Our staff and volunteers are a family, and the people we love, the battles they face, and the losses they endure matter deeply to us.💗
