Our Mission

It is the mission of the Alexander County Animal Services to protect public health and welfare while enforcing humane animal treatment while operating within county, state and federal regulations and laws. It is also our mission to provide safe, humane shelter for unwanted, stray, abused and impounded animals and to educate the public about responsible animal care, pet ownership and living with wildlife in hopes of reducing the number of unwanted animals in the community.
