Animal Shelters in North Carolina

North Carolina has 543 listed animal shelters and rescue organizations, spread across 90 counties. The mix is fairly even between rescue organizations and animal shelters. Raleigh has more than any other North Carolina city, followed by Greensboro and Charlotte. Somewhere on this list is a North Carolina dog or cat who would much rather be at your place.

North Carolina has 543 listed at the moment, and they are shown above with the ones that have photos first. Open any of them for the full address, contact details and opening hours.

A mix of both, and the difference is worth knowing before you set out. A rescue usually places animals from a network of foster homes rather than from premises you can walk into, so you generally arrange a meeting first. A shelter or humane society more often has a facility you can visit during opening hours.

Raleigh has more than anywhere else in North Carolina, followed by Greensboro, Charlotte and Asheville. They are the usual place to start if you are willing to travel; the sidebar links straight through to each.

Wake, Guilford and Buncombe counties have the most, though listings reach 90 of North Carolina's counties in total. The city links in the sidebar are usually the quicker way in.

Most listings here carry a phone number, and most link to the organization's own website. Calling ahead is worth it — opening hours change, and rescues often work by appointment rather than keeping a building open.
