Are you ready to welcome a true hero into your life? Raven, our super sweet and slightly shy wonder dog, is searching for her forever home! With her gentle spirit and heart of gold, Raven is just waiting for the right family to see her true superpowers.
Though she may be a bit reserved at first, don't be fooled-Raven has a brave and loving heart that shines brighter than any superhero's cape. She just needs a little time to get comfortable and reveal her amazing, loyal nature. Once she trusts you, she'll be your devoted sidekick, always by your side as you embark on life's adventures together.
Raven is seeking a dog-savvy home with older, mature "hoomans" who can appreciate her need for a calm and understanding environment. She gets along well with other canine companions, but she would love to meet any potential doggy siblings first to ensure they can form a superhero team worthy of saving the day together!
Are you the hero Raven is looking for? Ready to welcome this incredible lady into your heart and home? If you believe in the power of love, patience, and second chances, Raven is ready to embark on this heroic journey with you.

More about this shelter
The Cabarrus County Animal Shelter is one of the core responsibilities of Cabarrus County Animal Control, a division of the Cabarrus County Sheriff's Office. The shelter is an open admission shelter, which means we do not turn away any animal in need. We are a public facility that provides safe temporary shelter for homeless animals while the staff searches for permanent homes for the animals through community adoption or transfers to Rescue Partners. The animal shelter also provides a variety of other services for the community. The animal shelter is NOT a pet boarding facility. While the shelter is open admission, we do require pre-scheduled appointments for all owner surrenders. Please see our hours of operation for details.
Staff at the Cabarrus County Animal Shelter is committed to placing safe and healthy animals in the community by searching for appropriate permanent homes for adoptable animals. We work with approved Rescue Partners locally and nationally to place animals with workable behavior concerns and treatable medical issues with groups with the resources to take on those specific cases. To determine if an animal is adoptable, shelter staff must rule out any underlying medical conditions and/or temperaments that present safety risks to the community. Euthanasia is a last resort. When necessary, euthanasia is carried out with respect to the animals by a Certified Euthanasia Technician following best-practice guidelines set by the NC Department of Agriculture. It is important to Cabarrus County that all animals at the shelter receive care and compassion.
