Two months into the new year and the Wake County Animal Center is already nearing maximum capacity, issuing an urgent request to the community to consider adoption. The last time the center risked having to euthanize for space was in December 2022.

In roughly the last seven days, the center has taken in about 90 dogs. That’s brings the total number of dogs waiting for permanent homes to 135 as of Sunday, March 5. Another 20 dogs are with foster families also waiting for adoption. On top of that, appointments to surrender pets are fully booked through mid-April – that will mean 130 more dogs entering the shelter over the next six weeks.

Want to help?

Adopt: Adoption fees are $95 for dogs, $45 for cats under five years old, and $15 for cats that are greater than five years old. However, any dog or cat that’s been at the shelter for more than two weeks is available for just $25 for dogs and “name your price” for cats.
