Haywood County Animal Shelter

Our Mission

Haywood County Animal Services is dedicated to protecting the health and safety of our citizens, ensuring the humane treatment of animals, and promoting responsible pet ownership throughout our community. We strive to provide the highest level of professional care with a genuine sense of compassion and urgency.

Who We Are

Our organization is built upon a foundation of integrity, determination, and community spirit. By maintaining a highly trained staff and utilizing innovative technology, we work every day to ensure Haywood County remains a safe and attractive place for both people and pets to live.

Our Commitment to Care

To ensure every animal receives the attention they deserve, we operate a managed intake system that allows us to work within our capacity for care. This professional approach helps us maintain a high live-release rate while providing temporary shelter, medical attention, and support for stray and unwanted animals until they find their forever homes.

Partnering for Life

Adoption is a joyful commitment, and our dedicated team is here to help you find the perfect companion. Whether you are looking to adopt, volunteer, or join our vital foster network, your involvement directly enhances the quality of life for animals in our care. By working together, we can continue to create positive outcomes for the pets who need us most.
