The Humane Society of Concord & Greater Cabarrus County (HSOC) is a nonprofit, donor-funded animal rescue organization located in Concord, North Carolina. The society operates Ruth’s Memorial (dog adoption facility) and Princeton’s Meow (cat adoption facility), offering sanctuary to animals at risk in local county shelters and giving them a second chance at life.

Cabarrus County Animal Services (under the Cabarrus County Sheriff’s Office) operates an active pet adoption program in Concord, North Carolina, helping local dogs and cats find forever homes.

Animals in their care arrive for various reasons — strays, owner surrenders, or abandoned — and are fully vetted before adoption. The adoption process begins with an application, and prospective adopters are encouraged to schedule meet & greets with animals. Walk-ins are also accepted, though appointments may receive priority.

The shelters and rescue groups in Concord are working every day to care for animals in need—and they can't do it alone. Every small action makes a big difference in the lives of animals. Thank you for being part of their journey to a better life.
