About Cabarrus County Animal Shelter
Location:
244 Betsy Carpenter Pl SW, Concord, NC 28025, US
Mission Statement
Staff at the Cabarrus County Animal Shelter are committed to working with local partners to find temporary and permanent homes for adoptable animals housed at the facility. To determine if an animal is adoptable, shelter staff must rule out any underlying 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 licensed veterinarian, following best-practice guidelines for direct injection set by the NC Department of Agriculture. It is important to Cabarrus County that all animals at the shelter receive care and compassion.
