Pet Adoptions available every day beginning July 4th
Summer brings longer days and so does
the Peninsula Regional Animal Shelter (PRAS)! Beginning July 4th and continuing through Labor Day, the shelter is expanding its adoption hours. Visit them starting at 12 p.m. – 5 p.m. Monday through Thursday with extended hours to 7 p.m. on Fridays and early hours at 11 a.m. on Saturdays.
The PRAS is a collaborative venture supported by four separate Hampton Roads communities: Newport News, Hampton, Poquoson, and York County. This 30,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility is managed and operated by the City of Newport News on behalf of the four jurisdictions.
The shelter contains a full service veterinary clinic and has capacity for approximately 100 dogs and 180 cats, as well as pocket pets and other small companion animals.
The shelter is open 7 days a week from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. for owner surrenders, stray drop-offs, and owner re-claims.
For additional information please contact the shelter at 933-8900 or visit
