Apparently, wandering around Lenoir Street in Granite Falls without a GPS was “not the best life choice,” so a nice human scooped me up and brought me to Animal Control. 🚔🐕

Now I’m here waiting for my family to realize that the house is way too quiet without me.

A few things about me:
💕 I’m a super sweet girl.
🐾 I’m a pit mix with a heart bigger than my head.
👅 I specialize in giving kisses and accepting snacks.
🎾 I would gladly trade life advice for treats.
😴 Professional couch potato, part-time cuddle expert.

If you are my owner or know who my owner is please contact CCACE at (828) 572 - 4535. Please know that you must show proof of ownership to reclaim a stray. We are open Monday-Friday from 9am to 5pm and located at 180 Government Way in Lenoir, NC.

🦀🐾 FOUND: One Very Confused Seafood Critic 🐾🦀

This sweet little female puppy was found hanging out at Mayflower Seafood Restaurant in Lenoir, apparently conducting an important investigation into the freshness of the shrimp. Witnesses report she was making rounds to every table, accepting belly rubs as payment for her expert opinions.

Unfortunately, after repeatedly attempting to trade puppy kisses for crab cakes, she was escorted to Animal Control where she’s now waiting for her family to claim her.

She is safe, friendly, and would very much like to speak with management about the lack of complimentary treats.

If this adorable seafood enthusiast belongs to you or you know her owner, please contact CCACE at 828.572.4535. Proof of ownership will be required before she can resume her culinary adventures. ❤️🐶🦐

🐾 FOUND: One German Shepherd… Possibly on a Secret Mission on Rocky Road in Lenoir NC 🐾

This handsome German Shepherd was recently found wandering the streets and has been safely brought to the shelter.

He refuses to tell us where he came from, why he was out alone, or what happened to the squirrel he was allegedly chasing. His story changes every time we ask. One minute he’s a highly trained K-9 officer, the next he’s a traveling snack inspector.

What we do know:
✅ Very handsome
✅ Knows he’s handsome
✅ Accepts belly rubs as payment for information
✅ Has been placing formal complaints about the quality of shelter room service

If this furry suspect belongs to you, or you know who he belongs to, please contact CCACE 828.572.4535 and provide proof of ownership.

He’s currently being held for questioning, but so far all we’ve gotten are puppy-dog eyes and dramatic sighs.🐕❤️

Before anyone starts rumors, I was not lost. I was simply conducting a highly important neighborhood inspection on Quarry Rd. Unfortunately, my transportation plans were interrupted when Animal Control got involved.

Now I’m staying at the shelter, where the room service is decent and the accommodations are acceptable, but I’d really like to know why my humans haven’t come to pick me up yet.

So if you’ve been wondering why your lettuce bill suddenly dropped, your bunny-proofed cords are untouched, or your fluffy roommate is missing from roll call… that might be because I’m here.

If you are my owner or know who my owner is please contact CCACE at (828) 572 - 4535. Please know that you must show proof of ownership to reclaim a stray. We are open Monday-Friday from 9am to 5pm and located at 180 Government Way in Lenoir, NC.

The wait is over for Gabby 💜

Gabby came into the shelter on 5/19/26 and was officially adopted on 6/4/26. Now, she’s off to begin the best chapter yet with a family to call her own.

Congratulations, Gabby! 🏡

***RETURNED TO OWNER***

Well, this wasn’t exactly how I planned my day.

I was out exploring the sights of Morganton Blvd, enjoying my freedom and making questionable life choices, when some very nice person decided my solo adventure had gone on long enough. Next thing I know, I’m getting chauffeured to Animal Control.

Now I’m hanging out here waiting to see if anyone recognizes me. Surely someone is missing this pretty face!

If you are my owner or know who my owner is please contact CCACE at (828) 572 - 4535. Please know that you must show proof of ownership to reclaim a stray. We are open Monday-Friday from 9am to 5pm and located at 180 Government Way in Lenoir, NC.

🐾 FOUND PUPPY – SAFE WITH CALDWELL COUNTY ANIMAL CARE ENFORCEMENT 🐾

This sweet female German Shepherd puppy was found on Buffalo Cove Road in Lenoir and brought to CCACE. While she appears to be safe and healthy, she is very scared and unsure of her surroundings right now.

She is a beautiful young girl with a gentle nature who is likely missing her family. Being in an unfamiliar environment can be overwhelming for a puppy, and she would love nothing more than to be back home where she feels safe and loved.

If you recognize this puppy or believe she may belong to someone you know, please contact CCACE as soon as possible. Proof of ownership will be required.

Please share this post to help reunite her with her family. ❤️

📍 Currently safe with CCACE
