Delcran is a 10 month old tuxedo kitty who arrived at the shelter in early May. She is spayed, felv negative, and ready to find her new home!

Meet Godiva!

Godiva is a 6-year-old mastiff who embodies magnificence and grace. She is heartworm negative, spayed, and ready to charm her way into your heart and home.

Godiva is incredibly affectionate and enjoys being near her people. She nudges your hand for more pets. Despite her size, she's very gentle and enjoys the company of adults and older children. While she prefers a quieter environment, she has done well meeting children in public settings. We simply think she would prefer a quieter home.

Although Godiva is low-energy and enjoys her relaxation time, she's always up for a walk or a game of fetch if you're in the mood. She's your loyal shadow, following you around the house and melting hearts with her irresistible puppy dog eyes.

Indoors, Godiva is a delight. She's house trained and nondestructive, preferring to lay comfortably on the floor rather than on a couch or doggy bed. While she may be a bit apprehensive about steps, she has shown to navigate the house with ease and enjoys relaxing in her favorite spots.

Godiva is a dream in the car—once she's settled in the backseat, she's content to sit or lie down, enjoying the ride calmly and quietly. She enjoys treats and takes them ever so gently, showcasing her polite manners. She already knows the command "sit," demonstrating her willingness to learn and please.

If you're looking for an affectionate and laid-back companion, Godiva is the perfect match for you.

If you are interested in taking Godiva on a dog's day out or becoming Godiva's foster, please reach out to our foster coordinator, Kendelle Federico, at [email protected] for more information!

If you are interested in adopting Godiva, please come meet her at the Guilford County Animal Shelter during our adoption hours, 12 pm - 4 pm, every day but Tuesday.

Meet Raquel!

Raquel is a 6 year old lab mix who arrived at the shelter in May. She is heartworm negative, spayed, and ready to find her new home!

Raquel is convinced she's a lap dog, and who could blame her with all that affection to give? Raquel is ready to charm her way into your life with her sweet nature and endearing quirks.

Raquel adores car rides—she'll either gaze out the window or curl up cozily in the back, enjoying the journey alongside her humans. She's a joy in public settings, maintaining her composure well and walking nicely on leash. Plus, she's already housetrained, making her an easy fit into any home.

This intelligent girl is highly treat motivated, which makes training sessions a breeze. She's eager to learn and please. While Raquel can be enthusiastic and may jump for attention, she responds well to redirection and guidance.

Raquel has shown herself to be good and gentle with children, making her an excellent companion for families. Raquel has had positive experiences with other dogs. However, her eagerness to show affection sometimes results in lots of face licking, which may overwhelm more reserved canine friends. She'd thrive with a patient companion who can help her refine her social etiquette.

If you are interested in taking Raquel on a dog's day out or becoming Raquel's foster, please reach out to our foster coordinator, Kendelle Federico, at [email protected] for more information!

If you are interested in adopting Raquel, please come meet her at the Guilford County Animal Shelter during our adoption hours, 12 pm - 4 pm, every day but Tuesday.

Sir Kitty is a gentle, older knight who is looking for a comfy place to rest his head. He is estimated to be 12 years old. He was found as a stray in May and is in search of his happily ever after. Sir Kitty is FELV Positive and FIV positive so will need to go to a home with other positive cats or in a single cat home.

Sir Kitty has won the hearts of staff and volunteers with his loving demeanor. He is lacking teeth, so he does tend to drool a little when he gets excited but he enjoys getting pets and being close to his person. With the lack of teeth, he only eats wet food and tends to show off a little blep with his tongue 👅.

Sir Kitty is an elderly cat with FIV and FELV. He is susceptible for getting sick easily due to stress. He is in search of a home where he can be loved for the remainder of his days in comfort. His adoption fee is sponsored, so there would be no adoption cost for the adopter.

Introducing Etsy, a beautiful nearly 2-year-old female dog who is as delicate as she is sweet. At just under 30 lbs and heartworm negative, she's ready to find a patient and loving forever home where she can truly thrive.

Etsy is a shy and timid girl who takes her time to trust, but once she does, she'll melt your heart with her quiet affection. Treats are the key to winning her over and building a bond—she appreciates the slow approach and will reward your patience with loyalty and love.

House and crate trained, Etsy is well-mannered indoors and appreciates a consistent routine, especially when it comes to housetraining. She's a low-energy companion who enjoys gentle walks and relaxing by your side. Etsy is not only well-behaved indoors but also excellent on leash, making her walks a peaceful and enjoyable experience.

When you're not looking, Etsy reveals a playful side, often seen rolling around on her back with joy. Her favorite spot is perched on the back of the couch, where she can watch the world pass by with a contented gaze.

While Etsy may not immediately curl up in your lap, she's worth the wait. Her quiet presence and gradual affection will enrich your life in ways you never imagined. If you're willing to offer patience, understanding, and a gentle touch, Etsy will reward you with a lifetime of loyalty and companionship.

Playgroup Fridays! featuring Lady Rover and Daphne. Come and meet these two affectionate and playful dogs this weekend!

One of our Animal Care Techs & Veternarian Techs took long-timer, Barbie out on a nice Dog's Day Out and this is what they had to say about her! We took Barbie downtown on our Dog's Day Out. We passed by all the stores, cafes, and breweries. There were lots of people, and they all loved her. She was very social and enjoyed receiving pets. Two children even got to give her some pets and called her a good girl! She was interested in meeting some dogs from a distance, never barking or grolwing though. She sat for treats and toys. On a leash, she doesn't pull heavily but she is still an energetic girl that needs some time to let out some energy before being better on the leash. In the car, she was very good and was mostly interested in looking out the window but sat close to me in the back! If you're interested in adopting Barbie, please come visit her during our adoption hours, 12 pm - 4pm every day but Tuesday at the Guilford County Animal Shelter. If you're interested in fostering Barbie, please reach out to our foster coordinator, Kendelle Federico at [email protected] for more information !

Hey there Delilah! This 4-month old cutie is available for adoption and is ready to go home today! Unfortunately she just came down with a cold and is being treated at this time, so she is not on the adoption floor. She would love to recover in a home of her own, rather than the shelter. If you are interested in Delilah, please contact us through our shelter contact form: https://www.guilfordcountync.gov/our-county/animal-services/animal-shelter/contact-us and we will schedule a time for you to meet, or call Customer Service at 336-641-3401. #adoptionislove

Hi everyone! It's Porky with a holiday wish for Adoption. You see, I wandered away from home and got lost. This nice man in a uniform and a trailer found me and took me to the Guilford County Animal Shelter. They have given me a nice place to stay with lots of straw and food, but it's just not home. Although my name is Porky, I'm not that big of guy so I should fit right into a new place with no problem. There's only 11 days left until Christmas. Won't someone please find me a home? Check out my profile picture in the comments below and come meet me, or reach out to my good friend Jennifer at [email protected] if you are a rescue. Thank you! 🐷🐷🐷 #homefortheholiday #pig

Long-timer Tiny had a blast choosing his favorite holiday toy generously donated by Jonas and Leslie S. Terrones, who donated a ton of new toys for our shelter pups to play with. Can you tell that Tiny had a blast playing with them? Check out Creamsicle in the comments below.

Play group Fridays!! Today's bunch included our dogs, Meme, Gear, Astro, and Bumble. These dogs had a blast roaming freely in our biggest play yard. Play groups provide much needed enrichment and socializing for dogs and can improve their potential for adoptions. It also answers the question "Is the dog I am adopting friendly towards other dogs?" We love our play groups and will continue to spotlight our wonderful furry residents! Ask us next time you stop by and witness a Play group for yourself!

Do you remember Storm? She and her sister were found in a taped up box when Hurricane Ian's remnants passed through here. Well, she is now Cadet Storm and about to start her training with Guilford County Sheriff's Office K9 team. First up is obedience training, according to Sergeant Mark Osborne. We expect her to fly through that training. She's a great, sweet girl who wants to please. Then comes training to detect drugs. After that, she becomes a member of their K9 team. We will keep you updated on her progress. Keep up the good work, Storm!

Micro the Dancer

Looking for a dancing partner? Micro is for you! This timid little guy turns into a tiny dancer with the right treats. At first he sits nicely on your lap cuddling once he know you, then when the treats come out so does his personality! Micro is 3 years old and heartworm negative. He will be available for adoption starting tomorrow! #tinydancer #timidchi #lapdog
