About the shelter
The Peninsula Regional Animal Shelter is a collaborative venture supported by Newport News, Hampton, Poquoson and York County.
The 30,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility is managed and operated by Newport News on behalf of the four jurisdictions.
This “open-admission” shelter contains a full-service veterinary clinic and has capacity for about 100 dogs and 180 cats, as well as pocket pets and other small companion animals.
The shelter’s primary responsibilities include holding stray animals until they can be reunited with their owners, rehoming owner-surrendered pets, and facilitating pet adoptions.
The shelter also houses animal control offices for the participating jurisdictions.
The shelter is open every day from 8 a.m. until 5 p.m. for owner surrenders, stray drop-offs and owner reclaims.
Adoption hours are as follows:
Monday: Noon – 5 p.m.
Tuesday: CLOSED
Wednesday-Friday and Sunday: Noon – 5 p.m.
