The overweight man at the drop off desk is very nice.

The staff there didn’t even hesitate to tell us that they will have to euthanize pets in order to make the availability 🤦🏻‍♀️.

Called about dropping off stray cats and lady on the phone seemed very nice, told me they would be taken care of and adopted but when they were taking my information the overweight man with a long goatee at the front desk at 4:45 on 9/12/22 acted very unprofessional making it seem like they we’re going to euthanize them. Said that if they act unfriendly at all that they can euthanize them. DIDNT feel comfortable enough to leave them there at that point. Also over the weekend I called at first for some information and they told me to dump them somewhere, which is illegal. Don’t recommend if you want the thought of the animal you dropped off being killed because there scared and don’t act to there “friendly” quota.

Questions & Answers

Do you take donations or money to help take care of the animals?

Robin Hughes | Sep 22, 2018
Tino Medina | Sep 22, 2018

We do but as stated, money goes to the injured animal fund. This is used to help with medical costs that we accumulate trying to stabalize until an owner is found or providing care for sick or injured animals.

I live in Fayetteville off Reilly Rd, and was wondering how many dogs is a person allowed to have in their home?

Liza Clark | Sep 22, 2019
Remy Sheppard | Sep 22, 2019

You're allowed to have up to three dogs if you live on 0.46 acres or less, unlimited dogs on more than 0.46 acres, and no limit on cats for any property unless set by a landlord.

There are two yorkies in my complex that normally are outside being walked with a kid around 10 years old maybe and when I walk my pups the kids let go of the leash and their dog rushes mine causing them to get agitated and biting me, what do I do

Majnisharah Sainfort | Sep 22, 2018
G T | Sep 22, 2018

Find the adult owner, have a conversation, come to an agreement. If you explain the situation, a reasonable adult will try to address the complaint. If you call animal control and the yorkies are taken, they'll likely be euthanized. I wouldn't want that on my conscience.

I live in Taylor's Creek Mobile Home Community off of 301. There is a population of stray cats on every street throughout the community. Will Animal Control come out and collect these animals? I'm so tired of smelling their poop in my yard.

Yes you can. They can check for a chip to see if their is an owner. If not, they will examine the dog and if in good health and temperament, place it up for adoption.

This is a kill shelter. They do try their hardest to get animals out and constantly waive fees to get them adopted quicker, but it's not guaranteed they will make it to a home. This shelter does work with many rescues and fosters though

Tino Medina | Feb 23, 2022

You have to call to schedule an appointment. The shelter does a 'managed intake" type program. This is to help prevent overcrowding and animals bring euthanized (put to sleep). they will communicate with you and possibly set up a date and time for pick up or drop off of surrenders but you cannot just show up and drop off. You HAVE to go through the surrender program. It saves pets lives.

odalys herrera | Sep 21, 2020
Denise Hunt | Sep 21, 2020

Please call Cumberland County Animal Control for several reasons. The weather is to hot for the dog to be without shelter (food, water), the dog could be injured or pregnant, the dog could be stolen or the dog could be abandoned. Cumberland County Animal Control will be able to handle the dog safely if it is aggressive or injured. Animal Control will also investigate to find the owner of the dog.

Jackie White | Sep 22, 2019
Tino Medina | Sep 22, 2019

You can encourage it to walk out of the yard. Use a broom and without touching the opossum, just "shoo" it out. They are very beneficial to have around as they eat ticks and other bugs. Also, make sure you do not have a food source, like feeding cats outside, otherwise it will stay around. Also, clutter in a yard provides shelter for small critters so you may need to pick up the yard as well.

Do ya have a list what ya catch???

I found a stray dog with no collar. I really want to keep her. What should I do?

Tray McNeil | Sep 22, 2018
Sam Whitmill | Sep 22, 2018

You should get her scanned for a microchip at a vet or animal control. I would call animal control for exact details about the stray hold process. You can hold a stray dog for 10 ten days but by law you have to make an effort to find an owner. If no owner is found and no microchip you can claim ownership. This stray hold process is because NC treats animals as property.
