Get ready to chase rainbows and strike gold this St. Patrick’s Day, as your furry lucky charm is waiting for you at the Wake County Animal Center! To celebrate the season, the Wake County Animal Center is launching the “Pot of Gold – Find Your Treasure!” adoption campaign. From March 14 -23, you have the chance to bring home a new pet at a magically low price. Dogs or puppies will be free, and cats or kittens can be adopted for just $5.

Due to the predicted heavy rain and possible thunderstorms on Sunday, March 16, we are canceling the Southern Regional Center’s Rabies & Microchip Clinic. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.

Wake County Animal Center’s Rabies & Microchip Clinics focus on providing the essential services of rabies vaccinations and microchipping.
