The Animal Care Shelter for Kent County is an open-admission, no-kill shelter and welcomes every animal in need that we can legally accept. As an open-admission shelter, we take in many animals that may not be immediate candidates for adoption. Whenever possible, our staff and foster parents work with these animals to rehabilitate them and qualify them for adoption to good homes. There is no set limit to the length of time an animal can remain a candidate for adoption. As long as we have space and the pet appears to be able to maintain good physical and emotional health in our shelter environment of foster home, the pet will remain in our program.

Every animal, however long it remains in our adoption program, is guaranteed to clean, safe, comfortable space, nutritious food and fresh water, medical supervision, and, when needed, medical care and supplies. We also provide them with regular human interaction with our staff and volunteers who groom, exercise, and socialize with them.


Our Mission

To prevent the unnecessary pain and suffering of domestic animals in our community and to promote satisfying and responsible relationships between people and domestic companion animals through community involvement and education.
