Meet Nina! Nina is a very sweet 58lb Lab/English bulldog Mix, she is five years old and a total lover! She came to the Guilford County Animal Shelter as a stray and shelter staff notes that while she was timid and unsure at first, Nina has really come out of her shell and is quite warm and affectionate now. She loves to snuggle her head into your body as you pet her. The GCAS staff fondly calls this gesture a “Nina Hug”. Nina is one of our longest serving residents and is heartworm positive. This is a curable condition, and she cannot transmit it to other animals. She is eligible for the Have-A-Heart program, which includes a 30% off voucher for heartworm treatment.
If you're looking for a companion, look no further than at your local animal shelter. Stop by, see the animals, and don't forget to love on Nina while you're there!
COVID-19 UPDATE: GCAS requires an adoption appointment to meet all shelter animals. You can call 336-641-3401 for an appointment. Appointments are available from 12p-3p weekdays (Mondays and Wednesdays-Fridays), and 12p-4p on weekends (Saturday-Sunday.)
Be sure to stay up to date on the latest events: The GCAS has their Heartworm Treatment Deal! You get 30% off the treatment needed for your animal, they work closely with Oak Ridge Vetinarians (and hope to have more Vets addded) and they design a treatment plan tailored to fit your pups needs!
If you'd like more information on any of the adoptable pets at Guilford County Animal Shelter please contact 336-641-3400 or check out their website. If you'd like to donate to the shelter, the animals are always in need of blankets, towels and treats!
Guilford County Animal Shelter is looking for volunteers to walk dogs off-property on Saturday mornings. If you're interested in getting more information, or to find out how to get involved, please contact Lisa Lee: llee@guilfordcounty.nc.gov
