The Catawba County Animal Shelter is located at 201 Government Services Drive on the Catawba County Government Center campus in Newton. The shelter is operated and staffed by Catawba County Animal Services.
After receiving comprehensive medical and temperament examinations, animals taken in by the shelter are made available for adoption. Additionally, our full-time Rescue/Foster Coordinator works with outside rescue organizations to place animals. To learn more about our adoptable animals, visit our website or social media pages, contact us, or stop by our shelter to meet them in person.

After you have found your perfect match, simply fill out a pre-adoption questionnaire (located in our lobby). This questionnaire takes less than two minutes to complete. Once this questionnaire is reviewed and approved by our staff (less than 10 minutes) the adoption can be finalized!
