Guilford County Animal Services needs towels to help our friends stay cozy and comfortable (and to clean any messes!). Do you have old towels that need a new home?? Drop them off at the shelter today!!We’re in Need of Towels! 🧺🐾Our cat areas are especially busy right now, and we’re in need of clean towels to help keep our feline friends comfortable and cared for. Towels are used daily for bedding, drying, and gentle handling, so we go through them quickly!If you have any gently used towels you can part with, we’d be so grateful. Donations can be dropped off during our regular hours at guilford County Animal Services at 980 Guilford College Rd. Thank you for supporting our animals! 💛 ... See MoreSee Less

🐾 What a PAWSOME night at Doggos Dog Park & Pub celebrating the FURtastic volunteers of Guilford County Animal Services!Two paws up to April Volunteer Coordinator for hosting this wonderful event, giving volunteers and their furry friends some much-needed time on Doggos' “partio” — where a tail-waggin’ good time was had by all! 🐶🐾We also enjoyed delicious eats from Hot Dog Central of Greensboro, a local food truck with tasty options for everyone (including vegetarians!). 🌭🍔🍟A big shout-out to Brian Hernandez with Zero Dark Nerdy, a long-time supporter of Friends of GCAS. Brian features GCAS dogs five times a week during local trivia nights (check out the graphic for locations) and invited us to share about our upcoming 1st Annual Campaign to support our #enrichment efforts at Guilford County Animal Shelter. 🎤🐾Our campaign officially kicks off July 1 and runs through July 31.

🌱 Meet Penny!This absolutely adorable 2-year-old terrier mix is our new friend at Guilford County Animal Services. Penny found her way to the shelter thanks to a good Samaritan — she was discovered curled up right in his lawnmower seat, just relaxing and hoping to sprout up in a new home! 🐾🩷Penny is truly centsational (😉 pun intended)! She’s gentle, housetrained, knows how to sit and shake, and loves other dogs. She enjoys walks, car rides, and ear rubs galore.This sweet girl does have a little separation anxiety, but that should ease up once she’s settled in a home with a family who adores her. Penny was recently being fostered to adopt, but the resident dog just didn’t want any “change.” 🙄Ready to make Penny part of your life? Visit her at the shelter during adoption hours (12–4 PM, every day except Tuesday), or check out her shelter bio here:👉 new.shelterluv.com/embed/animal/GCAS-A-39273#friendsofgcas #adoptme #penny #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #fosteringsaveslives #guilfordcountync #adorable ...
