Humane Society of Alamance County
Animal Shelter
Why pick this one
Humane Society of Alamance County places dogs and cats through private foster homes and supports local pets with spay/neuter and fence-building programs.
Best for
- adopting a fostered dog or cat
- people seeking dogs or cats already cared for in private foster homes
- Alamance County pet owners needing spay or neuter assistance
- families needing pet food assistance
- dogs living on restrictive tethers and needing a fenced area
- community cats needing TNR support
- volunteers interested in fostering, transport, adoption events or fence building
Look elsewhere if
- a walk-in shelter facility is required
- immediate adoption is needed because applications may take 7 to 10 business days to process
- the adopter cannot provide an indoor-only home
- a renter cannot obtain landlord approval
- existing household pets are not spayed or neutered when old enough or current on veterinary care

- The organization is funded through public donations, fundraising events and grants rather than state or federal funding
- Pet adoptions require indoor-only homes, reference checks and a home visit before a meet-and-greet
