Play dates! 🐾 ♥️
This is your reminder that joy can look like zoomies, floppy ears, and zero personal space 😄🐕
Our dogs may be waiting for homes, but they don’t stop being dogs in the meantime, and we’re so grateful we get to give them moments like this.

Sometimes the best enrichment is a sunny day, a wagging tail, and a friend who speaks your language 🐾
These pups spend their days waiting for a family, but moments like this remind us they still know how to live in the joy and comfort of others.
Playgroups aren’t just fun—they build confidence, friendships, and hope. 💙
Big shout out to the staff and volunteers for making this possible.

We strongly recommend that resident dogs meet any new potential canine family members. If bringing a resident dog for a dog to dog test, please bring proof of Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella vaccines.

Come to Guilford County Animal Services to meet your new best friend between 12pm and 4pm any day except Tuesday!

Chaos to Calm- the power of Enrichment.
One challenge shelter’s face is kennel stress. If you’ve ever stepped foot into a shelter, one of the first things you’ll likely notice is barking. It can be heard from the outside of the building sometimes. It’s loud, it’s stressful, and can be quite overwhelming, not only for you, but for the animals themselves. In-kennel enrichment is just one of the ways we can help. ❤️🐾

FOSTER HEROES NEEDED! 🚨

From November 19th–23rd, we will be making repairs in our Dog Adoption 3 area (plus a few kennels throughout the shelter). While we get these spaces fixed up, some of our pups need a short-term place to crash — just through the weekend!

🐶 A few cozy days in a home instead of a kennel can make all the difference.
🏡 We’ll match you with a dog that fits your home and provide everything you need.
💛 You’ll be helping our team make important improvements and giving a shelter pet a much-needed break.

📧 Ready to help? Email Stephani at [email protected]

Let’s make sure every dog has a warm spot to rest while their kennels get a little TLC! ( featuring Felix, Carly & Bourbon of course) 💕

🌙 ✨ Night time at the shelter

After a busy day the pups lay down and dream of a life where they wake up to a family who loves and cherishes them. Adopting gives homeless pets a second chance, and with support from our community, staff, fosters, and volunteers we can help their dreams come true 🐾❤️
Come visit us at Guilford County Animal Services and adopt your new best friend.

We love our volunteers!!! We almost fully rely on volunteers and donations to help support our shelter pets with their enrichment needs. They do such an amazing job and there’s nothing better than hearing how quiet our halls get when the animals receive their enrichment. Thank you to everyone involved, whether donating, volunteering, or spreading the word! 🥰
