About Humane Society of Rowan County
We are a small non-profit rescue group. We rescue abandoned and stray sick and injured dogs and cats. Occasionally we will get a rabbit or some other kind of small animal although that is very rare. We also help low income people get medical care for a sick or injured pet and also provide help with food for pets. We always need food and litter donations as well as funds to help people with medical needs. We run a Spay/Neuter Clinic once a month with the Animal Care Clinic of Salisbury and ongoing with the China Grove Animal Hospital.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?
Why should you adopt?
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.
What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?
When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.
So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
