***THANKS TO ALL THE CITY OF SALEM FIFTH GRADE STUDENTS WHO VISITED OUR TABLE AT THE ANNUAL CAREER DAY ON APRIL 16TH, 2008.   WE ENJOYED SHARING OUR KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCES WITH YOU!  PLEASE COME TO VISIT US AND THE ANIMALS AT THE SHELTER.

Welcome!

We are glad you visited our shelter online.  If there is any information you cannot find on our site, please give us a call or stop by!

Thank you for supporting our efforts towards the betterment of animal care.

The staff here at the Salem Animal Shelter works hard to protect every member of your community.  Thanks to you and your support we are able to do the following and more:

• Reduce overpopulation of homeless animals thru spaying and neutering
• Rescue abused and negleted animals and teach responsible pet care
• Teach children the value of all life and how to be kind to animals
• Place homeless animals in new loving homes
• Help injured, sick, and orphaned wildlife

ATTENTION TEACHERS AND COMMUNITY LEADERS:

Education of our youth is always a top priority for us at the shelter.  If your school or group is in the City of Salem and you are interested in scheduling a tour of our facility or having a member of our staff visit your classroom, please contact the shelter manager by email, rghall@salemva.gov

or via telephone, 540-375-3038.  We look forward to helping you educate our youth in animal handling and care!

Please continue to help give homes to shelter animals. The adoption fee is only $30.00.  In addition to getting a great loving pet to add to your family, new pet owners will also receive:

• $28.00 Gift Certificate towards neutering or spaying of your new pet if it is not already spayed or neutered (A large number of cats are already spayed or neutered awaiting adoption.)
• An additional 25% discount for neutering
• Free examination of your new pet by a participating veterinarian
• Free initial vaccines and deworming

We are still giving out vouchers to owners of animals who live in Salem to have their animals spayed or neutered at a reduced fee.  Effective July 1, 2004, we supply vouchers only to residents of the City of Salem.   The vouchers are worth $28.00 towards that cost.  You may pick up a voucher at the shelter during operation hours.  All you need to have is verification (drivers license) of your address and your rabies certificate for the animal.  You may receive no more than two vouchers during a 6 month period.
