It’s silly that a dog can be pending adoption without you having to meet the dog first. We wanted to get a dog that we met at SPCA. The lady in the back took a long time to even answer the door to open up the puppy room then she let us take the dog we wanted to hold and bond with the dog before telling us that we couldn’t get her because she was already pending adoption from someone who hadn’t even met her yet. The front desk seemed very nice and informative, but the lady who worked in the puppy area was terrible.

Do any of the animal shelters want old (clean) towels, mattress pads, etc.?

Margaret Maron | Sep 22, 2018
michele Olivier | Sep 22, 2018

They have a place where you can drop these materials in the front desk. They have a list there of what materials they need. The people at the front desk will help you on figuring out which items are suitable. Hope this helps.

This is a first come first served location. You will need to go to the SPCA to see what pets are currently available. You can look on their website, but the availability online is not changed in real time.

How much is it to adopt a dog?

Nikki S | Sep 22, 2018
Kris Baldwin | Sep 22, 2018

My puppy was $150, the 11 year old was $95, but keep in mind That's just the beginning. You are required to take them to the vet within a couple of weeks and provide heartworm and flea meds etc. Even when a dog is free they are expensive. Good luck!

I see what the website says but thought I'd double check. We have towels, wash cloths and sheets that are in good shape (and a couple pillows). They are washed. Are they not needed there? Thank you and thank you for all you do.

thanks so much for thinking of us! we aren't in need of linens (and in fact, we've run into storage challenges with the linens we have on hand!) however, there are several other organizations in the community that can probably put them to good use. The Wake Co Womens' Center might be a good one to ask. Thanks again for your support of SPCA Wake!

What do I need to do to surrender three older cats that are very friendly and lovable?

William DHerde | Dec 25, 2021

Contact them directly

Do they do spive

Edgar Rivera | Sep 21, 2021
Fred Schamberger | Sep 21, 2021

What is spive?

Do they let you surrender guinea pigs?

Essence Johnson | Sep 21, 2021
Lathaniel Perez | Sep 21, 2021

If I'm not mistaken, they don't accept animals from individuals, only kill shelters. If you're looking for a means of rehoming him/her check out guineapigfinder.com. If you've bought your guinea pig from a local PetSmart, you can return it within 14 days. Some Petco stores will accept a healthy guinea pig for re-adoption, but most of the time not. Hope this helped.

If I adopt a cat, do I need to bring a carrier? The adoption paperwork says a carrier is needed later for vet trips but not mentioned on first day.

Aaron Hawkins | Sep 21, 2021
Virginia Gerdeman | Sep 21, 2021

You can bring your own but they sell them there as well

Do I get to bring the dog i adopted home the same day I adopt them?

Rebecca Jewell | Sep 21, 2021
Ben Gangwer | Sep 21, 2021

I did. You just need to submit your adoption information via the website and they will reach out to you.

Are they open for the community to visit?

Gina Marie | Sep 21, 2021
Dave Guryevsky | Sep 21, 2021

Not at the moment. But according to their website spcawake.org they are doing adoptions but qualifying is done over the phone and with video conferencing, in person appointments will made via phone or email after completing potential pet adopter surveys online. See the website for more details.

Are you accepting donations. For example homemade dog toys?

Deven Chawla | Sep 21, 2021

They can go in with you and hold them or show you tamer dogs. You need to take your kids with you when you go. Also if you have other pets..schedule a date and time for them to meet any possible new family member. They also let you take them home for a test run if all is good.

Michelle Pitts | Sep 22, 2018
chi roptera | Sep 22, 2018

I don't think the SPCA is equipped to take on lynx. Maybe try contacting the vet hospital Avian and Exotics. There is also a big cat rescue near by that has some smaller felines like lynx. Just google NC big cat rescue or sanctuary.

Does adopting here cost money or/and a lot of paperwork

Yes it ranges between what animal u get and the paperwork is only for a reference check to make sure you are fit to house and support a pet. For example: bunnies are 35$ then u have to buy the supplies and come there with something to take them out in
