Winchester/Randolph County Animal Shelter
Our Mission
Winchester Animal Control is dedicated to serving our community by ensuring the safety and well-being of local pets and promoting responsible animal ownership. We believe in creating a positive environment where every animal is treated with care as they await their forever home.
Serving the Winchester Community
Operated by the Winchester Police Department, our facility serves as a vital resource for the city. We maintain a professional, transparent operation that works to support both the residents and the animals in our care, ensuring that Winchester remains a thriving place for all families.
How We Care
Our shelter is overseen by a dedicated full-time animal control officer who ensures our facility functions efficiently and safely. We are committed to high standards of care, ensuring all adopted dogs are spayed or neutered, heartworm-free, vet-checked, and current on all necessary vaccinations in accordance with state law.

Choosing to adopt is a rewarding journey that changes lives, and we are here to help you find the perfect companion. Whether you are looking for a playful dog or a small house pet, our team is committed to transparency and helping you understand the unique needs of the animals currently waiting in our care.
