Why Adopt Instead

Guilford County, North Carolina spends approximately $2,400,000 on animal services. NC as a whole spends $33,000,000 annually on picking up, housing and euthanizing animals. That's just one county in North Carolina. Educating our community is the only option - starting with baby steps - everyone working together, perhaps we can make Guilford County a more humane, efficient and healthy community for our people and animals.
RABIES: approximately 30% of the animal population have been vaccinated against this deadly disease; that leaves 70% that have not been vaccined!

Independant rescue groups like NC Rescue League help take the financial burden away from the state or government, and give in a lot of cases are able to give animals more of a chance because of their smaller size and the ability to provide more individual attention.

Please consider adopting for your next pet.
