Rowan County Dog Pound has bounce back!

The Rowan County Dog Pound has endured a recent flood and yet they've still managed to bounce back and give 150% to saving the precious dogs who walk through their door. Sadly, for every dog that seems to find its way out, there's two more arriving. Rowan is now literally bulging at the seams! With only ten runs and dozens upon dozens of dogs in URGENT need of rescue or adoption, the situation is dire for these dear souls. The last time that dogs had to be euthanized here was on August 2nd, 2006, but unless more rescue groups or adopters come forward ASAP, there simply won't be any other choice but to make space for even more dogs. It's simply a heartbreaking, never-ending process, especially for the wonderful Rowan staff and volunteers that work tirelessly to save every single one of these precious furry angels.




The dogs that are listed as now being at the Rowan County Dog Pound. Please take just a minute or two to look at this amazing group of darling, deserving dogs. Look closely as some of these dogs are already vetted and/or sponsored.

There's timid Tim the young Shepherd mix that's bravely enduring seizures while at Rowan, Claire the Whippet mix whose eyes tell her entire story, Marisol the beautiful black Lab mix that's lost and overlooked in a sea of black fur, Hal the Collie/Shepherd mix who seems to not know just how bad his situation is, Lady-Bug the gorgeous Setter mix who's so very frightened and confused, Kevi the Hound mix who's limping possibly from an old leg surgery, and oh my.....then there's Francis (named lovingly after St. Francis) the senior Treeing Walker Coonhound who's arthritic but who's still smiling in his mug shot. It's enough to break your heart!

If you have questions about any of the dogs that are listed, please contact Julia Sharp (a non-stop volunteer who does WONDERFUL things for these furbabies) or one of the other amazing volunteers at or email addresse that are listedjuliatat@yahoo.com. Local residents can call the Pound directly, but others should contact the volunteers as the Warden is already overwhelmed with handling his duties and local calls.
