About the Rockingham County Animal Shelter Campaign

Launched in October 2008, the Rockingham County Animal Shelter Campaign is devoted to building the animals of Rockingham County, NC the shelter they deserve and, subsequently, reducing the county’s staggering upper 90% euthanasia rate. Throughout the course of our campaign, we have raised $250,000 in private donations and grants and have created awareness about the desperate need for a shelter in our county.  Thanks to the efforts of our generous supporters, the new shelter is going to be a reality!  In March, 2010, the Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to build the new shelter in its entirety.  The new facility opened in May of 2011 on Cherokee Camp Road in Wentworth.

Our work isn't finished!  Our fund raising will be on-going in order to fund facility operations.  New to 2012 is our community spay & neuter clinic offered to county residents.  Our partnership is with Planned Pethood that will be providing this service to our community out of Greensboro N.C.   We still need your help supporting important programs like low-cost spay & neuter, community education, etc. These important programs are essential to help reduce the euthanasia rate.  To make a donation, please click Help Us.
