Regional Center for Animal Care & Protection is FULL! One of our local shelters that takes care of missing, lost and abandoned pets is at 100% capacity. If you are missing your furry companion, please make an appointment to see if your dog is at the shelter located at 1510 Baldwin Avenue, NE, Roanoke. The Regional Center for Animal Care and Protection never turns a stray animal away. During the summer, the center sees stray animals enter their facility daily. With the Fourth of July holiday coming up, where they often see a large number of intake dogs that are scared by the firework celebrations, the shelter needs the community’s help to reunite lost pets with their rightful owners and new owners to adopt the adorable strays.

If you are interested in adopting a dog or a cat, please contact the shelter at mail@rcacp.org or call 540-344-4922 to start the adoption process so that kennel space will be available for the dogs and cats that have been owner relinquished and the unclaimed strays that are waiting on vetting to be made available. The RCACP is your local, tax-funded intake shelter. Dogs and cats that are brought into the shelter as strays must be kept by law for the required stray hold time, which is either 5 or 10 days depending on the information that is brought in with the animal. If you are missing your pet, now is the time to come to the shelter to ensure that your pet is safely reunited with you.
