My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

My adoption fee has been fully sponsored. Adopt me and pay $0.00!!!

I`m a sweet boy and I need a loving home! I came to the shelter when my previous owner could no longer care for me. When I first got to the shelter I was very scared, skinny, and did not trust the staff here. I have warmed up a lot over the last few weeks and am now looking for a good home to spend my golden years in. One of our volunteers said I am a very sweet older boy who is good on a leash and loves treats. I can have lots of energy, and be curious about the world. I love long walks where 80% of the walks consist of sniffs. I am super smart and knows sit and shake/paw. Staff and volunteers have recently discovered that I am not comfortable with male humans and prefer females. I am still learning but would benefit from patience as because of my shy behavior at the shelter I demonstrated coming in. Treats are helping earn my trust and please try not to touch near my head. Please don`t overlook me because I have some extra years on me! I still have a lot of love to give!

Additional adoption info

Please visit http://www.orangecountync.gov/287/Available-Pets if you have questions about available pets, adopting, or visiting our facility. You may also call 919-942-7387, option 3, to speak with a staff member at our adoption desk.
If the staff is unable to answer right away, please leave a clear message with your full name and contact number. Our staff responds to messages in the order they are received. Every effort will be made to respond to messages the same day, but it is possible that you may not receive a callback until the next business day due to the high volume of calls we often receive. See our operating hours on our website.

-Adopting-
Some animals can be taken home the same day they are adopted, but those adoptions must occur before a certain time of day and are dependent upon several factors. If you are interested in taking a pet home on the same day you adopt, please consult with the adoption desk to find out if that pet is able to go home right away. See more information on adoption and adoption fees on our website.

We provide animal intake services and Animal Control services to the unincorporated portion of Orange County and Hillsborough and are responsible for enforcing State and County laws that apply to animals (including cruelty laws, nuisance animals and dangerous wildlife). We also manage licensing and offer many other services such as community spay/neuter programs.
