The Peninsula Regional Animal Shelter provides animal sheltering services to four communities: Newport News, Hampton, Poquoson, and York County. The shelter will not be able to receive pets (stray or pets for rehoming) from other jurisdictions.

The Peninsula Regional Animal Shelter has developed an extensive resource booklet for the community to help keep pet owners and their pets together. The Peninsula Regional Animal Shelter is partnering with the rehoming website, Home to Home as a community resource. This rehoming website allow the pet owner to help find a new home for their pet without having to bring their pet to the shelter.
