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

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.

Oba is our cat of the week!

Oba has been patiently waiting 145+ days for someone to realize that their couch is missing one very important thing: him.

At just over a year old, this handsome 9-pound orange boy is the perfect mix of calm, cuddly, and curious. He likes other cats, happily volunteers for lap-warming duty, and would be thrilled to spend his days lounging in a sunny window while keeping a very close eye on the neighborhood birds.

145+ days is long enough. Come meet Oba and give this sweet orange gentleman the happily-ever-after he’s been waiting for! 🏡🐈🧡

To apply for Oba or any of our other fantastic felines, please complete our adoption application at this link:

Some goodbyes stay with us forever.

Today, we remember the pets who filled our homes with joy, our days with laughter, and our hearts with a love that never really leaves. Though we wish we could have had just one more walk, one more cuddle, or one more day together, we are forever grateful for every moment we had. ❤️

If you’re missing a special pet today, share their name or photo below. Let’s fill the comments with the sweet faces waiting for us at the Rainbow Bridge. 🌈🐾
