Options for Companion Animals

Are you thinking of giving up your pet? Do you need to find your pet another home?  Please know there are a number of homeless animals currently at our local shelter and rescues. Try other options before giving up on your companion pet. Spaying and neutering may help eliminate problem behaviors.

If you are thinking about adding a companion animal to your home, please check out these links to view available dogs/cats looking for a forever home: Burke County Animal Services (see also their Facebook page) and PetFinder.

Animals from a rescue are already spayed or neutered so you won’t have to worry about that expense. And they are usually available for a low-cost adoption fee.
