Burke County Animal Services

Beginning in 1997 in the garden of its founders, Toni and Ed Davis, Friends for Animals the Humane Society of Burke County eventually relocated to the adoption facility in 2003. One of the biggest no-kill shelters in Western North Carolina now exists thanks to the organization.

The animal control officer collaborates closely with other organizations that provide animal services, such as Burke Friends for Animals and the Burke County Sheriff's Office Animal Shelter (Humane Society of Burke County).

The adoption cost for all dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens is $75.00 at Caldwell County Animal Control.

The goal of HSCC is to advance animal welfare in our neighborhood by offering homeless pets a place to stay and compassionate care. We also lead the way in our area for low-cost spay/neuter programs, animal welfare awareness campaigns, and adoption services.

The Animal Shelter is governed by the Public Works Department. The shelter takes in unwanted or stray animals and acts as an adoption center for those that can be adopted.

The purpose of Mitchell County Animal Rescue is to protect, rescue, and care for unwanted and abandoned animals; to raise awareness of the value of spaying and neutering in lowering the number of stray animals; to rehome animals; and to instruct young people in the humane treatment of animals.
