Are you searching for a loving companion to welcome into your home? Look no further than the Greensboro Pet Shelter, your dedicated local animal welfare organization in Guilford County, North Carolina. As the only public shelter in the county, we are passionately committed to saving the lives of lost, abandoned, and surrendered animals. Our mission at the Greensboro Pet Shelter is to provide professional and compassionate care for every animal that comes through our doors, working tirelessly to reunite lost pets with their families and find permanent, loving homes for those in our care.
At the Greensboro Pet Shelter, we believe that every adoption should be a positive and lasting experience for both the animal and their new owner. We collaborate with numerous rescue organizations to broaden our reach and ensure that dogs, cats, livestock, exotic pets, and even wildlife have the best chance at finding suitable placements. Beyond adoptions, we are deeply involved in community education, offering programs on responsible pet ownership and the importance of pet care. We also bring the joy of animals to senior residents through our pet therapy initiatives, enriching lives within our community.
Our commitment to animal welfare is reflected in our dedication to treating animals with curable conditions, ensuring they are healthy and ready for adoption. We are proud of our high success rates, with 97% for dogs and 78% for cats, demonstrating our effectiveness in our mission. Furthermore, Greensboro Pet Shelter is a proud partner of Pets for Patriots, a national charity supporting United States veterans through companion pet adoption, extending our impact to those who have served our country.
