****2ND ATTEMPT**** Please help ZaraThese animals are located at Iredell County Animal Services in Statesville, NC!
At this time, Iredell County Animal Services does NOT have transport “connections”, so it will be UP TO THE RESCUE wanting to pull the animal to coordinate transport!
If your rescue is interested in an animal, please email Amber at Rescu...@iredellcountync.gov and include: the animal’s name (and/or Animal ID#), your name, and the rescue group you are affiliated with!
If your rescue is new to pulling from ICAS or has not updated the Rescue Agreement since January 1, 2023, you MUST submit the Rescue Agreement paperwork before any hold or transport can be arranged.
Rescue Agreement link: https://www.iredellcountync.gov/icas/forms/rescue_agreement
(Tip: Complete and send this in as early as possible when you’re inquiring about an animal!)
🐾Zara (A318659) 5-year-old Bulldog mix; 38 lbs.🐾Zara's story began when she wandered onto a resident's front porch. Although the finder initially hoped she would simply continue on her way, Zara seemed to have other plans. After briefly leaving, she returned and made herself right at home on the porch. Animal Control was contacted and found Zara calmly settled there, patiently waiting, before transporting her safely to the shelter.Behaviorally, Zara has proven herself to be a friendly and social dog. During her dog-to-dog assessment, she greeted the other dog appropriately with polite introductions and mutual sniffing. Once the initial greetings were complete, Zara showed that she was more interested in exploring her surroundings alongside her new canine companion than engaging in active play. She demonstrated relaxed, appropriate social skills and appears capable of coexisting well with other dogs.Adored by shelter staff for her gentle nature and sweet personality, Zara has quickly become a favorite among those who know her. She is a kind, easygoing girl who deserves the opportunity to find a rescue willing to give her the fresh start she's been waiting for.During Zara's medical exam, the following medical conditions were discovered:
*Animal Placement Coordinator does not work on Saturday or Sunday and will respond to your email ASAP once back in the office on Monday*
**Once a rescue commits to pulling a dog(s)/cat(s), they have 2 business days to arrange transport to pick the animal(s) up from the shelter unless otherwise arranged with the animal placement coordinator. The hours for Rescue pickup are Monday through Friday, 8:00 am-5:00 pm & Saturday, 11:00 am-2:00 pm.
If the rescue does not correspond with the animal placement coordinator for 24 hours post-commitment, the animal(s) will be offered to other rescues. **
