Dogs at Wilkes County Animal Shelter
The animals are coming and going all the time at the Wilkes County Animal Shelter!
Please call the shelter before you go to see a particular dog. This page is updated several times a week; however, we can't guarantee that the dog you want hasn't already been adopted.
These dogs were available for adoption at the time they were posted at Wilkes County Animal Shelter at 408 Call Street, Wilkesboro, NC, 336-903-7688. Dogs may be adopted or rescued and leave the shelter at any time. Therefore, if you are interested in a particular dog you see on this page, please call the shelter to determine if it is still there before you go.

The descriptions above are based on brief interactions with the dogs by Humane Society of Wilkes volunteers and information provided by shelter staff and previous owners, when available. They are not formal temperament evaluations by professional animal behaviorists. Dogs in the shelter are sometimes scared or stressed and may behave differently after adoption. Listed breed mixes are often guesses, intended to help potential adopters visualize the size and general characteristics of each dog. The HSOW makes every effort to provide an accurate description of each dog, but we cannot be responsible for behaviors or breed assessments that differ from the information we have posted.
