Upcoming Events
Spay/Neuter Day
February 28th is our annual Spay/Neuter Day in Orange County. It is part of the national Spay Day USA event and is designed to raise awareness about the importance of spaying and neutering your pets. Each year, Animal Services teams up with Pet Overpopulation Patrol of North Carolina (POP-NC) to offer free spays and neuters to the pets of qualifying Orange County residents. Contact Sarah Fallin at sfallin@co.orange.nc.us or 919-942-7387, ext 224 to see if you qualify!
Visit us on Facebook to find more events and adoptable animals!
