| WARNING: People who steal and abuse dogs, sell animals to laboratories and train fighting dogs often answer "free to good home" ads. For your dog's safety, research potential adopters carefully before directing them to your home. |
| Contact Ruthie Murray if you can help with fostering or if you can help with boarding costs. They can't save dogs without your help. PayPal |
| The Wythe County Animal Shelter can euthanize these animals as soon as they reach their adoption date. Call them as soon as you see the picture and let them know if you are interested. Dogs are available for adoption on this page from the Wythe Co. Animal shelter for people living in Wythe, Bland, Smyth, Pulaski, Carol and Grayson counties. Dogs that have been spayed or neutered can be adopted from anywhere, unless otherwise noted dogs are not spayed or neutered. If you are outside these areas contact Ruthie Murray at petsinperil@yahoo.com If you have a lost dog, contact the Animal Shelter immediately!! Don't wait or it may be to late. |
| Owner surrenders can be euthanized Immediately! |
| I just wanted to clarify. This web page and website is not ran by the Wythe County Animal Shelter. They send pictures to me to place on this page. This website is privately ran and paid for. If you email me from this website it does not go to the Wythe County Animal Shelter. If you need to contact them you should call them directly at 276-228-6003. |

| The Wythe County Humane Society is in desperate need an extra large Igloo or Barn type dog house. Other size dog houses would also be greatly appreciated. To donate a dog house, please call Pam Henley (276) 686-5090 or (276) 620-5091. |
| The "ready" date is the available for adoption date or the date the animal could be euthanized. |
| Here are the dates I received emails with pictures sent from the Wythe Co. Animal Shelter since January 2, 2009. I list all pictures sent to me. I have had to email and email to get pictures sent. If you do not see pictures updated within 7 days or if you feel that there is not enough pictures, feel free to contact the County Administrator's office at rcdalton@wytheco.org. I used to get pictures of 5 or more dogs per week with as many as 9 or more at times. Now 2-3 dogs are all that I am sent. I have offered several times to go down and take the pictures myself but was told they would do that. 53 dogs euthanized in the 1st quarter of this year(1/1/09 to 3/31/09)! That's around a 29.9% euth rate. See opinion |

| These dogs have only a slim chance. If not for the Wythe Humane Society the Euth rate would still be 70-80% at this shelter or worse if the people working there make no effort to help these animals. |
