To inquire about the dogs on this page, please call the Wilkes County Animal Shelter, 336-903-7688.
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.
