Alexander County Animal Services
Connecting Hearts and Homes
Alexander County Animal Services is dedicated to providing compassionate care for our community's animals while fostering meaningful, lifelong relationships between pets and their new families. We believe every homeless dog and cat deserves a second chance at happiness in a loving forever home.
Our Commitment to the Community
Since opening our dedicated facility in October 2002, we have served as a central hub for animal care in Alexander County. Our team works hard every day to manage the care and wellbeing of the animals entrusted to us, ensuring they are ready to find their place as cherished members of your family.
How We Care
Our 3,500 square-foot facility, located on Waggin’ Trail, provides a safe environment for animals while they await their forever families. We are transparent about our operations, focusing on providing high-quality care that includes essential medical support like vaccinations and spay/neuter services for our adoptable pets. Through our low-cost spay/neuter voucher program, we also partner with local veterinarians to help keep our county's pet population healthy and stable.
Finding Your Perfect Match
Adoption is a joyful, long-term commitment, and our staff is here to help you find the pet that perfectly complements your lifestyle. Whether you are searching for an active running partner or a quiet companion for relaxing at home, we encourage you to bring the whole family to meet your prospective new friend. We take pride in helping you make a decision that ensures a permanent, happy life for both you and your adopted pet.
