Wake County Animal Center seeks help in finding homes for animals

The Wake County Animal Center has reached full capacity once again and urgently needs community support through pet adoptions.

Currently, there are hundreds of animals at the center and in foster care, taking up kennels and life-saving space, leaving no room for incoming animals.

To encourage adoptions, the Wake County Animal Center will be waiving all adoption fees to $0 for dogs, cats, and small animals through July 22, for all animals available for adoption. When you adopt a pet from the Wake County Animal Center, they are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on their annual vaccines, which saves you on veterinary bills.

If you are not able to adopt, there are many other ways to help:

• Reunite – If you know someone whose pet is missing, make sure they are checking the adoption gallery multiple times per day and come check WCAC at least once every other day. As the designated stray-intake facility for the entirety of Wake County, we must have room for incoming animals. Reuniting a lost pet with the family who loves them is another way to help us make space.

• Foster – We need foster homes! Foster parents help prepare animals for adoption by providing individualized care and socialization for the most needy shelter animals.

• Volunteer – We could not exist without the commitment and expertise of each of our volunteers and we’re always looking for responsible and enthusiastic animal-lovers to join our group of dedicated and compassionate volunteers.

• Rescue – If you foster with a local rescue partner, please consider opening your home to help us avoid the euthanasia of these beautiful and deserving animals. Encourage your rescue’s leadership to save a local life by transferring a dog from WCAC into their care.

• Donate – With over six hundred pets in our care, we’re blowing through our supplies at a record pace and are running low on everything. Please consider donating to us via our Amazon Wishlist or by bringing/mailing your donations directly to the Animal Center.
