PITTSYLVANIA COUNTY, Va. – Twenty-five cats and dogs from the Pittsylvania County Pet Center flew to Maine to find their forever home. The county animal shelter partnered with an organization to transport to another shelter with a greater need.
Brent Weinkauf, the director of the Pittsylvania County Pet Center, says they have been “overwhelmed” with animals. In fact, at one point in late 2020, the shelter had around 400 cats.
Thursday, 10 dogs and 15 cats were taken to Maryland and flown to Maine.

PITTSYLVANIA COUNTY, Va. – You’ve heard of thrift stores that support childhood cancer or even ones that support our veterans. In Pittsylvania County, there is one for dogs and the work they’re doing is making some “ruff” lives a little easier.
The Doggie Bag Thrift Store has everything from jewelry to clothing, bikes, knickknacks, and of course, pet items.
“We are very happy to have them back open,” said Pittsylvania County Pet Center Director Brent Weinkauf.
