The Galax Carroll Grayson Animal Shelter is a regional shelter operated jointly by the three local governments (Galax City, Carroll County and Grayson County) under the requirements of the Code of the Virginia. The shelter accepts animals as required under the Code and works to place animals back with their owners, adopt them to new owners, or place them with other non-profit animal welfare agencies that are able to find them new homes. Animals are adopted on a first come first served basis, so always contact the Shelter to check that the animal you are interested in is still available. Galax Carroll Grayson Animal Shelter is a small rural facility in the southwest of Virginia. While not yet a no-kill facility, this is a goal we strive to achieve each and every day. We are also fortunate enough to work with some amazing rescue groups and dedicated individuals who help us move animals to safety each and every week. If you are interested in becoming an animal welfare agency, please call 276-236-5773. For more information see the Galax Carroll Grayson Animal Shelter website.

Please Donate to Help the Dogs and Cats
Every year our shelter takes in thousands of animals in need from Galax, Carroll and Grayson counties. On average, we use around 25 lbs of dry dog food, 10 lbs of cat food, 5 cans of dog food, 12 cans of cat food, and 15 lbs. of litter daily. We also wash around 2 loads of laundry a day, and house an average of 40ish animals at any given time. Our staff is small, but dedicated to saving lives, and we cannot do it alone. I just would like to thank the community for all the donations and support the shelter receives to be able to care for these fur-babies. We could not do this without you! We have put together a list of things needed at the shelter in case anyone would like to help out.

No Squeeky Toys Please
Toys that make a noise when you squeeze them can encourage some dogs to be aggressive towards young children because they squeek too. The device that makes the noise is usually small and can be harmful if swallowed. Some toys of this type contain a small battery which is poisonous if the dog eats it. The best toys are tuggers, tennis balls and hard chew toys that cannot be ripped apart.
