This gorgeous male German Shepherd mix came in as a Stray on 4/30. He does have a microchip and messages have been left for the owners, however no one has reclaimed yet. He has an injury on his front leg that the vet says is an old injury. He appears very happy & healthy other than this. This guy is already neutered and could go home as of 5/11 if the owners do not reclaim. Please come see him and give him a second chance!

Read here the NC Dept. of Agriculture August 07 inspection of the Wake Animal Center two Dog Rooms. The temperature was 95 degrees.
The temperature was above what is considered humane for the dogs.

WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT THE TEMPERATURE THIS SUMMER AT WAKE ANIMAL CENTER?
EXTREME HEAT, STUCK IN A CAGE 24/7, A 5 MINUTE BREAK IN THE SUN RIDDEN COURTYARD, 70% OF THE DOGS WILL THEN BE WALKED TO THE DEATH ROOM FOR CALCULATED KILLING. THEY WILL BE PLACED IN A BLUE PLASTIC BAG IN THE DUMPSTER.
WHY WON'T WAKE OFFICIALS CONSIDER COVERING THE TINY COURTYARD AT WAKE ANIMAL CENTER WITH SOME PROTECTION FROM THE SUN? SHELTER DOGS AND POTENTIAL ADOPTERS NEED TIME TO GET TO KNOW ONE ANOTHER?
POTENTIAL ADOPTERS DO NOT WANT TO STAND IN THE SUN IN 100 DEGREE HEAT. THE SHELTER DOGS LOSE THE CHANCE TO LIVE.
The Shelter Dogs of Wake County Animal Center will not be enjoying their summer stay at the animal shelter. Last year, the Wake Animal Center failed inspection for ambient heat temperature above 85 degrees. Wonder what the NC Dept of Agriculture will say this year? After much hollering by a few volunteers, Dept. of Environmental Services had the county fork over a few bucks for some fans for the two dog rooms. The fans were inadequate.
One wonders what reprieve Wake County officials gave the dogs and cats before volunteers screamed in 2007? Election time is in November. You are in charge of your money and how it is spent. What do you plan to do about the overpopulation of dogs and cats in your county? What will you do about the heat this summer in the dog rooms of Wake Animal Center. (The cats have air condition.)
I went to the polls at 6:30 and there was virtually no line. I was in and out in no time. There is something special about exercising your right to vote. You feel like you've accomplished something. That's why I don't understand how people with the right to vote don't. We can be heard. Vote. Get your sticker.
What's up people! Don't forget to vote tomorrow. Get your stickers!
