Davidson County Animal Shelter NC

Davidson County Animal Shelter NC County-operated animal shelter with the mission to protect citizens and animals of Davidson County

Hours: Monday - Friday 11:00 am to 5:00 pm, Saturday 11:00am to 3:00pm

The Animal Shelter is an open admission facility that houses sick, injured, or lost animals as a place for owners to look for their lost pets and animal lovers to find a forever friend. The shelter's vision is to give abandoned and neglected pets a second chance to live long, healthy lives in safe, loving homes. We strive to p

romote humane treatment of animals, prevent cruelty to animals, and provide a facility to return animals to their rightful owners. We are a shelter established to protect, feed, and house the stray, injured, abused or unwanted animals in Davidson County. We are primarily funded by Davidson County government and donations. When owners can't be found, or animals are surrendered by their owners, the shelter and many passionate, devoted volunteers hope to find them the permanent, furever homes they deserve.

Out of an abundance of caution, the Davidson County Animal Shelter is closed for intakes until further notice due to a limited number of parvovirus and panleukopenia virus cases.

We have consulted with our veterinarian and have put additional protocols into place that include continuous evaluation of animals housed in the shelter, deep cleaning, disinfecting, and quarantining as deemed necessary. During this time, we encourage the public that find strays to use social media or reach out to neighbors to find the pet’s owner as intakes are not being accepted.

Other important information:

* Adoptions may still occur for pets that are fully vaccinated (2 immunizations) against parvovirus and/or panleukopenia.

* Reclaims are permitted for stray holds (boosters will be administered against parvovirus and/or panleukopenia).

* This is a fluid situation and more information will be made available as soon as practical

There has been an increasing number of parvovirus and panleukopenia cases in the community and we advise owners to vaccinate their pets to prevent contagion or spread.
