Welcome to the Cornelius Animal Shelter - special project operated by the Town of Cornelius to provide the best possible service to animal populations in our Town. Like most shelters, the success of this facility would be impossible without the many volunteers that make it happen. All volunteers, past and present, are directly responsible providing a outstanding care for animals coming into our facility. The shelter is also supported financially by the Cornelius Animal Shelter Alliance (CASA). CASA provides funding for medical wellness programs and equipment at the shelter. Their support has been tremendous and we appreciate their work.
Some things you should know:
Adoption Process
Complete a application at the shelter, if approved, an adoption fee must be collected. There is an $85.00 adoption fee for felines and $95.00 adoption fee for canines. The shelter can only accept check and cash, if payment is by cash, the amount must be exact. Once the paperwork and fee has been collected, the new owner picks up their pets from the Animal Hospital of Cornelius on a later date. All adopted pets are up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, and spay/neutered.
Impoundment Process
The Cornelius Animal Shelter only accepts animal surrenders from owners that reside in the Town of Cornelius. Those seeking to surrender should bring proof of residency to the Town of Cornelius, previous medical records, and $25.00 for the impoundment fee. The fee is payable only by check and cash, if payment method is cash, the amount must be exact.
While every effort is made to provide for the continuing welfare of a surrendered animal, the Town of Cornelius cannot guarantee the treatment, health, or safety of an animal after it is adopted or otherwise transferred to another entity, person, or organization. Further, The Town of Cornelius cannot guarantee that a surrendered animal will be adopted, rescued, will not be euthanized, or will not be transferred to another facility.
Volunteer Opportunities
The Cornelius Animal Shelter relies heavy from those that volunteer their time to insure the welfare of the animals. There is a constant need for active kennel attendants and administrative volunteers. If you are over the age of 18 and interested, please contact Cornelius Animal Control at (704) 237-3602 or visiting us at the shelter.
