Nash County Animal Shelter

Animal shelter in Nashville, NC

Please be aware that we have a very small shelter with a great many pets coming in. Some pets were strays that have to be held 72 hrs hoping that their owners will find them. If not claimed, they are available to be adopted. Some pets are owner surrenders, due to various reasons, including but not limited to financial problems, allergies, death of their owners, or moving to a place where pets are not allowed. The pets listed are all adoptable.There may be other pets available that are not listed!
