Donate to Greensville County Animal Shelter

Staff has been working hard on providing enrichment for our dogs while in our care. On Saturday lick mats were provided to 8 of our pups (we only have enough for 8 at the moment) while the others received a Kong or went out in the play yard for fetch. In summer months we will be adding pupsicles for dogs to enjoy. Enrichment is important to provide shelter animals. A shelter regardless of how nice it may be is stressful to animals. Stress can cause many problems including a lowered immune system, depression, anxiety, destruction of items, self harm, etc. Want to help us provide enrichment for our pups but do not know how? We have updated our Amazon Wishlist (see the link below) to reflect enrichment items. The lick mats we use are linked on our Amazon Wishlist.

No Squeeky Toys Please
Toys that make a noise when you squeeze them can encourage some dogs to be aggressive towards young children because they squeek too. The device that makes the noise is usually small and can be harmful if swallowed. Some toys of this type contain a small battery which is poisonous if the dog eats it. The best toys are tuggers, tennis balls and hard chew toys that cannot be ripped apart.
