Limited Admission
Watauga Humane Society is a limited-admission animal shelter. We never euthanize animals to make additional space. We can only take in as many animals as we adopt out. When an animal is adopted, we take in an animal from Watauga County Animal Care and Control (WCACC).
We take the majority of our animals from WCACC. When we have an empty kennel or cage, we fill the space with an animal from Animal Control. Please call us if you can no longer keep your pet. If we have space at that time, we will take your animal. If not, you will need to take it to Watauga Animal Control and we will try to transfer the animal over here as soon as possible. Only Animals from Watauga County will be accepted at WCACC.
If you have puppies and kittens that you plan to turn into a shelter, PLEASE be sure to socialize them ~ hold them every day and make sure they are not wild or scared of people when they come into the shelter. Finding homes for unsocialized animals is nearly impossible, and there are so many friendly animals waiting for good homes that our shelter is unable to accomodate unsocialized animals.
