We're Here To Serve.
At the Washington-Wilkes Animal Shelter, we are committed to serving both animals and our community through a variety of essential services. From helping dogs and cats find loving forever homes through our adoption program to reuniting lost pets with their families, our mission is centered on providing care, compassion, and second chances.
We offer safe shelter, daily care, medical attention, and enrichment for animals in need while also creating opportunities for community involvement through volunteering, fostering, and donations. Together, these services help us improve the lives of pets and the people who love them throughout Washington-Wilkes County.
