Anson County Animal Shelter is a public animal welfare facility that serves Anson County in North Carolina. We provide shelter and care for dogs and cats, while vigilantly working to have them reunited with their owners, or adopted into loving homes. We partner with rescues, both local and out-of-state. We strongly promote the Spay and Neuter movement and strive to assist and educate all pet owners on the importance of controlling the rural dog and cat population.
Anson County Animal Shelter workers and volunteers have paw prints on their hearts. Their love for animals drives them to provide the utmost compassionate and loving care for these shelter dogs and cats in their charge.
Our mission is for every cage to be empty: for every single homeless, abandoned, lost or abused animal to be in a loving and safe home. Until that day, we will do our best and give our all to show them they are worthy of happiness and of being loved.

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.
