My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:
In the heart of our shelter lies a quiet, tender soul named Bethany. With eyes that speak volumes of silent stories, she is a beautiful dog who carries a gentle demeanor and a heart full of love. Bethany is on a heartfelt journey to find a compassionate and patient forever home, one that will understand her needs and embrace her for the precious gem she is.
Bethany is a bit of a shy girl, especially around men, and her ideal family would be one that can offer her the patience and space she needs to blossom. She has a lot of love to give and is just waiting for the right person to share it with. Her journey hasn't been the easiest, and as such, she dreams of a calm and understanding environment where she can slowly decompress, let down her guard, and truly come out of her shell. With time, Bethany promises to be not just a pet, but a loyal and loving companion, full of gratitude and affection.
To the family that chooses to open their heart and home to Bethany: know that you are gaining a friend for life. She may take a little while to show her true colors, but once she does, you will see a world of love and loyalty. If you believe you can offer Bethany the patient, loving home she's been waiting for, please reach out to us. Let's give Bethany the happy beginning she has been waiting for.

More about this shelter
The Cabarrus County Animal Shelter is one of the core responsibilities of Cabarrus County Animal Control, a division of the Cabarrus County Sheriff's Office. The shelter is an open admission shelter, which means we do not turn away any animal in need. We are a public facility that provides safe temporary shelter for homeless animals while the staff searches for permanent homes for the animals through community adoption or transfers to Rescue Partners. The animal shelter also provides a variety of other services for the community. The animal shelter is NOT a pet boarding facility. While the shelter is open admission, we do require pre-scheduled appointments for all owner surrenders. Please see our hours of operation for details.
Staff at the Cabarrus County Animal Shelter is committed to placing safe and healthy animals in the community by searching for appropriate permanent homes for adoptable animals. We work with approved Rescue Partners locally and nationally to place animals with workable behavior concerns and treatable medical issues with groups with the resources to take on those specific cases. To determine if an animal is adoptable, shelter staff must rule out any underlying medical conditions and/or temperaments that present safety risks to the community. Euthanasia is a last resort. When necessary, euthanasia is carried out with respect to the animals by a Certified Euthanasia Technician following best-practice guidelines set by the NC Department of Agriculture. It is important to Cabarrus County that all animals at the shelter receive care and compassion.
