Adopt

Adopting a pet is a great way to give back to your community. Not only are you giving a pet a home, you are freeing up space for another homeless animal to come into our rescue.

Foster

ODHS provides food, medical treatment, and a crate. All you provide is the love!

Volunteer

Volunteering is fun and easy with ODHS. We have many positions and many different ways you can help.

Welcome to Old Dominion Humane Society

Old Dominion Humane Society is here to provide well-matched permanent homes for animals in need through rescue, rehabilitation, and education.

ODHS was founded in 2013. In our first year we found homes for 179 dogs, 1 goat, 2 rats, 1 Iguana, and 1 Tokay Gecko.

We are an all-dog breed rescue. We rescue from high-kill shelters in Virginia and other states.

We are foster based and all of our animals are in foster homes. We do not have a shelter location. We are based out of Fredericksburg, Virginia.

Please Check out our adoption information before sending an application.
