My story

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

Hi there! I'm Holly, a sweet and gentle pup looking for my forever home this holiday season. Like a delicate Christmas ornament, I may seem a bit fragile at first, but with patience and love, I'll shine brightly in your life. I'm dreaming of a calm home where I can slowly unwrap my personality, just like a carefully wrapped present under the tree. If you have other calm canine companions, that would be the perfect gift for me! I'd love to join a patient family who understands that, like the gradual glow of twinkling lights, I need time to illuminate fully. This Christmas, could you make room in your heart and home for a shy girl like me? Together, we could create cozy memories, snuggling by the fireplace and enjoying peaceful winter walks. With your gentle guidance, I promise to blossom like a beautiful poinsettia and fill your days with quiet joy and unconditional love.

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.
