After several weeks of renovations, we are officially open again, and our kennels are full of sweet dogs and cats waiting for their forever families.
Come meet your new best friend. We can’t wait to see you!

Someone from a blocked number may call claiming Animal Control picked up your lost pet, had them spayed/neutered, and now you owe money.
This is a scam.

Dogs, Cameras, Action!
Behind so many of our dogs’ beautiful photos is volunteer Joanne Wetzel. Even while running Five Freedoms Photography, she dedicates most of her time to rescue photography helping each pup get noticed and find a home.

It’s hard to believe that just a year ago, Hera was still waiting for her forever family at the Wake County Animal Center. And now? Hera’s living her best life, soaking up love, belly rubs and sunshine.

A healthy, joyful pup named Hera came racing over to greet us at Alyssa’s home, her tail wagging wildly and doggy kisses flying. Alyssa tried to calm her with treats, but Hera’s excitement was unstoppable and totally contagious. wake.gov/news/second-chance-…

Our hearts are full! Every year, our amazing friends and their adorable little ones set up a lemonade stand to raise money for the animals and Friends of Wake County Animal Center. It's become the cutest tradition, and we love them for it!

We teamed up with the Apex Fire Department after a concerned fisherman reported a malnourished dog near Harris Lake. Ladder 35 A-Shift quickly responded, launching a rescue mission that brought the sweet pup, now named "Harris," to safety within an hour.

Thanks to a generous donation, all 8+ cats and dogs are FREE! After hearing about overcrowding at our center, former volunteer Julie Stolzer wrote a check for $5,000 – making it possible to waive the adoption fees for any adult/senior cat or dog. wakegov.com/news/generous-do…
