🚨🚨 IMPORTANT ANNOUCEMENT 🚨🚨

Beginning Tuesday, July 7, the Cabarrus County Animal Shelter will transition to a Tuesday through Saturday schedule, allowing the shelter to now be open every Saturday moving forward.

Shelter hours will remain 12:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m., with extended adoption hours on Thursdays until 6:30 p.m. Please note animal intakes still close at 4:30 p.m. each day, including Thursdays.

This change is intended to better serve our community by offering more availability during times when many residents are off work, with the goal of increasing adoptions, helping reunite lost pets with their owners more quickly, and reducing overcrowding within the shelter.

Owners may reclaim lost pets during open hours Tuesday through Saturday and by appointment on Mondays. Stray cats and dogs found in Cabarrus County may be brought to the shelter Tuesday through Saturday from 12:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Animal Control remains available seven days a week for stray dog pick-ups. Owner surrenders will continue to be accepted by appointment only.

Appointments for adoptions are encouraged, but walk-ins are always welcome and accommodated as quickly as possible.

We hope these updated hours improve accessibility for our community and help more animals find loving homes.
