Angels of Assisi is changing the role of an animal shelter to include resources, programs, and services to benefit the pets in our communities and the people who love them. We are an independent, nonprofit animal welfare organization serving SW Virginia and West Virginia. Along with our Adoption Center and Farm Sanctuary, we offer a Community Pet Hospital, Rural Veterinary Care, Cruelty Investigations, Disaster Response, and a Safety Net Program for those needing temporary help due to domestic violence or emergency situations.
1. Find the pet for you at the Adoption Center. 2. Adoptable Pets in Foster Homes. Some of our available pets are currently in foster homes. If an animal is currently in a foster home, it is noted in the animal’s biography online. To meet a pet in foster care, please fill out a non-binding adoption application, and the foster parent will contact you to schedule a meet and greet once the application has been approved (generally within 24-48 hours). 3. Found the perfect addition to your family? Now what? The next step is to fill out an adoption application. You can complete an application online (preferred) or stop by the adoption center to fill out a paper application. Adopters must be 18 years of age or older. If you rent your home, we will need to contact your landlord or see a copy of your lease to verify the pet policy. Most applications can be approved within 24-48 hours. 4. Taking Your New Pet Home. After paying the adoption fee and pending the approval of your application, you may take your new pet home immediately. All dogs must leave with a collar and leash. All cats and small animals must leave in a carrier. 5. Adoption fees may be paid in cash or with debit/credit card. 6. Veteran Adoption Discounts: Veterans and retired military with I.D. will receive a discount of $25 off dog adoptions and $15 of cat adoptions.
