Our Featured Dog...
HI my name is Freckle Face because I have so many Freckles. I am a really good dog and just cannot begin to understand how I ended up at the pound. I am friendly and like other dogs. Do you suppose you might want a dog with freckles???? My pal in the photo has gone to a rescue so I sure would like out of here too. Contact the STAR folks at staradoptions@yahoo.com if you are looking for a really good dog. My time is running out!!!!!.
Thank you all for helping with our Kuranda bed drive for the pound dogs. Jimmy, our dog warden, is very grateful! Thank you!
The ChipIn event below is for our outstanding vet bills. We have had an unusually high number of injured and special needs dogs lately. Help!

URGENT MESSAGE: JUNE 21, 2009 - The Rowan County Canine Shelter is FULL. We have worked very hard to keep all dogs alive and safe until they can get to a rescue or home. Unfortunately we cannot guarantee the safety of any dogs on our web site as we cannot keep up with the current intake level. Please adopt a dog and spay/neuter your pets.
We are not the dog pound. We are a very small group of caring people who try to save dogs. Our goal is to get dogs out of the pound and to the safety of a rescue or a new home. Dogs that are at the pound are subject to walk-in adoptions that we cannot contol. They are also subject to being euthanized if the pound gets over capacity (this is a weekly occurrence). If you want to adopt a dog the adoption fee will include vet/boarding costs. When we foster a dog for more than a few days, another dog at the pound could die because we have no where to put it. We will only pull dogs from the pound that have a place to go.
STAR, Saving the Animals of Rowan is now 501c3. All donations are tax deductable.
STAR is on GoodSearch. Every time you search, our group earns money!
Thank you all for helping with May's boarding costs! If you can help with our boarding costs for June, please see our Chip In event below. Thank you so much for helping keep our dogs safe!
