Fayetteville: A Great Place To Adopt A Pet
So often we hear on the news that our animal shelters are overcrowded. They’re often desperate to get all the pets adopted, and hey, it’s never a bad time to adopt a cat or dog.
I’ve been a cat and dog owner for a long time, and I’ve never regretted it. Recently, when I was sick and had to stay in bed, my cat stayed with me the whole time, and it really gave me a sense of comfort, a sense that someone was protecting me.
Here in Fayetteville, there are some animal adoption centers. Fees to adopt are reasonable, and many times, you can get adoption fees waived during special events.
Fayetteville has its fair share of dog parks, and you never know who you’ll meet at a dog park. It’s kind of fun.
We take a look at a couple of places right here in Fayetteville where you can go to adopt yourself a new best friend.
Fayetteville Animal Protection Society
Fayetteville Animal Protection Society, Inc. (FAPS) is the only Cumberland County No-Kill, non-profit animal shelter supported by volunteers, grants, and individual contributions. FAPS receives no state or federal funding to operate and relies solely on the community to support its mission of rescuing and successfully placing companion animals in their forever homes.
The mission of Fayetteville Animal Protection Society, Inc. (FAPS) is to provide a licensed, No-Kill shelter for homeless animals until they are adopted into a loving and caring lifetime environment, to reduce the population of stray animals, and to promote responsible pet ownership.
Cumberland County Animal Services Department
The mission of the Cumberland County Animal Services Department is to protect our citizens by active enforcement of state and local laws, provide for the humane sheltering and outcome of stray and unwanted animals, and promote responsible pet ownership. The primary objective of Animal Services employees is to provide excellent service to the citizens while dedicating themselves to improving the welfare of animals and humans.
Bails For Tails Rescue, NC
They are located in downtown historic Fayetteville, NC. They have worked very hard to make sure every cat has been fixed to control the population. In addition, each cat has received vaccines as well as their rabies vaccine at the time of their spay/neuter.
Cat Adoptions are a huge part of what they do. Every cat we acquire comes from stray, abandoned, or hoarding situations. They either trap the cats ourselves or accept them from others, provide medical care, socialize, and adopt these animals to families.
