The Rowan County Animal Shelter has several animals waiting to be adopted and taken to a good home.
How could you not fall in love with this face? This beautiful female Persian mix came to the shelter as a stray at the beginning of December.
She is still waiting for the right person to give her a permanent home.
Her owners could no longer care for this pretty Lab mix and had to surrender her to the shelter. She is a young adult, very shy and has not yet been spayed.
Adoption fees are $70, a downpayment 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.
A worker at the shelter will go over all information and gladly answer all questions from those adopting pets.
Kennel hours are Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 8:30-4:15 p.m.; Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:30 a.m.-noon, and Saturdays from 8-11:30 a.m.
To learn more about adopting a pet, call the shelter at 704-216-7768, or visit the shelter at 1465 Julian Road, Salisbury.
