Dogs: With so many adorable faces, how do you choose just one? This litter of Lab/mastiff mix puppies are approximately 7 weeks old, and each has its own personality. All of them need a home that they can grow into.
Cats: Fuzzy, cuddly and simply irresistible describes these two brothers. They are approximately 7 weeks old and just two from a litter of five that were surrendered to the shelter when their owner could no longer care for them.
The Rowan County Animal Shelter has several animals waiting to be adopted and taken to a good home.
From rescued animals to those abandoned by owners who couldn’t afford them, and all others in between, the Animal Shelter has them all.
Adoption fees are $70, a down payment for spay/neuter costs. The voucher can be used at any veterinarian’s office.Before adopting any animal, a person must agree to take the pet to a veterinarian for an exam and spaying/neutering. If the animal isn’t already vaccinated for rabies, the person must agree to begin shots within three business days.
Rabies shots can be given as soon as the pet turns 4 months old.
The animal shelter isn’t equipped with a medical facility, and cannot administer any procedures or treatment.
A worker at the shelter will go over all information and gladly answer all questions from those adopting pets.
Want to view animals at the shelter? Kennel hours are Monday-Friday, 11 a.m-4 p.m. and Saturdays, 8-11 a.m.
