Cleveland County Animal Services
1601 Airport Rd, Shelby, NC 28150
The coronavirus pandemic has impacted our lives in a significant way but the commitment to our residents and community animals remains strong. All animals at the shelter are continuing to receive the same quality care and enrichment they deserve.
Animal Care staff are working tirelessly to provide for the shelter animals during these unusual circumstances.
We recognize that there may be undue hardships as a result of the shelter being closed and for that we apologize.
Please stay safe!
Mission and Vision
The mission of the Cleveland County Animal Services Department is to protect the health and safety of our residents; promote humane care and prevent cruel treatment of animals; and work to reduce the number of stray and homeless animals in our county.
Our vision is to end homelessness of companion animals, where none will suffer neglect or abuse, while being a fiscally responsible organization, and preserving the safety, security and welfare of our residents.
We commit to improve communications with both internal and external clients in an expeditious, thorough and professional manner. We will place emphasis on “at-risk” animals developing strategies based off carefully reviewed data. We will evaluate new programs and services and re-evaluate current ones to ensure we are addressing community animals needs. We will collaborate with other industry leaders and gather information regarding innovative shelter practices.
We value an environment where teamwork is paramount, ideas are welcomed, creativity is encouraged and successes are celebrated.
