The Galax Carroll Grayson Animal Shelter is a regional shelter operated jointly by the three local governments 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 may be able to adopt them. Animals are transferred on a first come first serve basis, so always check with Shelter staff prior to see if an animal is still available.
