In accordance with Virginia State Law, all dogs and cats over the age of 4 months are required to be vaccinated for rabies. This vaccination must have a booster every 1-3 years to be valid. This law is to ensure public and animal safety from this deadly disease. Each county/city also required that you purchase yearly dog license tags. These can be purchased at the local court house or municipal building for minimal cost. Please note that you must show your animals rabies vaccination to get these tags. Failure to comply with these laws will result in court action and fines. Please help keep our community pets safe!Dogs requiring homes at Amelia County Animal Shelter

Has a Coyote ever 'followed' you or your dog while you are walking in your neighborhood or in the park? If so, you may have felt afraid, perhaps thought the Coyote was stalking you, or that an attack was imminent. But do not fear. Coyotes are naturally curious animals, and often engage in this behavior called 'escorting'. Escorting is when a Coyote, sometimes with its mate, makes sure that you are leaving its territory. This behavior is most often seen from early March to late April, when Coyote parents are protecting their precious puppies. Escorting most often happens in early morning or in the evening, and because they may see dogs as a threat to their babies, it is most often seen by dog walkers. What do you do if you are 'escorted' by a Coyote? Do not panic; the Coyote is much more terrified of you! If you do not have your dog leashed - which you should in Coyote country - immediately leash it and keep it by your side. Calmly keep walking, slowly, as normally. Soon enough, you will be out of the Coyote's home and he will stop escorting you! On the off chance the escorting Coyote starts to approach too closely, shout and wave your hands to frighten it away. As we humans develop more and more into woodlands, Coyote coexistence has become even more essential; we simply must learn to speak their language.
