About NACC

Norfolk Animal Care Center (NACC) is the City of Norfolk’s municipal animal control facility. Our shelter is open admission, and is responsible for the care of stray, unwanted, sick, injured, and abandoned animals within the City. The shelter’s animal caretakers and volunteers are committed to adopting these animals into new permanent homes and to ending unnecessary euthanasia by ensuring that all animals are sterilized before adoption.

We need you to help stop pet overpopulation in our city!  Please consider visiting the wonderful animals in our shelter before buying from a pet store or a breeder. The open space you create by adopting an animal truly saves a life, and rewards you with a devoted companion.
