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. Every animal, however long it remains in our adoption program, is guaranteed a 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.
