Smyth Animal Rescue
Our Mission
Founded in 2019, Smyth Animal Rescue strives to lower the euthanasia rates in SWVA & to improve the lives of our region's pets. SAR pulls many dogs and cats from the local public county shelter. While SAR transfers many to our wonderful rescue partners, we also doubled our local adoptions in 2021.
Adoption Policy
We are open to the public 11 AM to 6 PM on Fridays & Saturdays. We have several dogs, cats, & kittens housed at our facility as well as in foster. Because some of the animals are in foster homes & it takes a bit of logistical work to set up meet & greets, we do require an approved application before we’ll set up a meeting. Be sure to let us know ahead of time who you're interested in meeting so we can let you know if they are on site or in foster.

Our adoption fee for cats/kittens is $100 for a single or $150 for a pair. We strongly encourage the adoption of kittens in pairs as research shows they do much better, are less destructive, & are happier when they have another kitten friend. Our fee covers spay/neuter, rabies vaccination, FVRCP vaccination, combo test for the two major feline diseases, deworming, & flea/tick preventative medication. We do require cats adopted from us remain INDOOR only & that they NEVER be declawed.
Our adoption fee for adult dogs is $125 and for puppies is $150. Our fee covers spay/neuter, rabies vaccination (if old enough), DHPPL vaccination, 4DX test for heartworm & three major tick-borne diseases, deworming, & flea/tick preventative medication. We require that all dogs adopted from us live indoors — they cannot be chained or live in an outdoor kennel full time.
For all adoptions, we require that all existing pets in the home be spayed/neutered & up-to-date on vaccinations — we do follow up with the applicant's veterinarian to ensure these requirements are met.
