Shelters You Should Adopt From in Raleigh

Thanks to extensive efforts made by animal shelters across the nation, adopting pets is more popular than ever. More and more people who are looking for furry friends are turning to adoption instead of breeding. If you’ve been wanting to add a pet to your family, the Comfort Hounds highly recommend visiting some of the animal shelters in Wake or Johnston county. You’re bound to find a dog or cat that pulls at your heart right away. To get you started on your search, here are a few places to adopt pets in North Carolina’s Triangle.

Safe Haven for Cats

Safe Haven is one of the oldest independent cat shelters in North Carolina. It recently celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary! Safe Haven regularly updates their website with the cats they currently have so you can take a look before booking an adoption appointment. If you want to adopt a cat and you live in Raleigh, Safe Haven should definitely be at the top of your list of shelters to visit.

Independent Animal Rescue

Independent Animal Rescue is an animal shelter for both dogs and cats in Durham, NC. The nonprofit boasts a top-notch adoption process that ensures each and every one of its animals goes to the best home possible. IAR has a list of all the pets that are up for adoption on their website and they frequently host adoption events. They also have an FAQ on their website that explains some of the big questions surrounding pet adoption.

Wake County Animal Shelter

The Wake County Animal Shelter is probably the largest shelter on our list. They have a huge selection of dogs, cats, little critters, and sometimes even farm animals. They also offer fostering options if you have the time and space to take care of a furry friend for a little while. Take a look at their extensive adoption and fostering gallery here.

Cause for Paws

Cause for Paws is an amazing shelter/thrift store combo based out of Raleigh. They use the funds they raise in their thrift stores to take care of cats and dogs in need. To see the cats they have up for adoption, just visit one of their two storefronts in Raleigh. All their adoptable dogs are in foster care (for their own comfort).

Finding Your Furever Friend

Deciding to adopt a pet is a big decision that you shouldn’t take lightly. Before adopting, make sure you, your home, and your finances are up to the task. If you’re ready, we encourage you to take the first step in the adoption process: visiting the shelter. Book an adoption appointment and get excited! At Comfort Hounds, we believe there are few things in life that are better than adding a furry friend to the family!

As a new homeowner, my HVAC system needed help. The AC, duct-work, and furnace were all breaking down. Rob and his team at Comfort Hounds came out and fixed everything.- The AC works better and doesn't have to run as often.- The ducts now have dampers so the heat and air spread more evenly throughout the house.- The furnace heats our house faster and easier than before.- There are no more big swings in temperature.I could go on, but the point is that our HVAC system is now running properly thanks to Comfort Hounds.Next is the price, HVAC repair is always expensive, but Comfort Hounds has the most competitive pricing out of the 4 other HVAC companies I've used in the past.Lastly, Rob and his team were patient with us. They stayed well past the allotted time to fix our HVAC system. They spent time with us explaining how we could keep our system running well and how to save money on our electricity bill. They never rushed us despite having other appointments to make.I will continue using Rob and his team for their skills, price, and patience. I highly recommend them.

Great company-friendly-professional-timely. They have been maintaining my hvac for two years. Quick to return calls/texts and provide service. Old system finally needed replacement and they were able to do so quickly and provide financing that met my budget requirements.

Quick call back, same day service for my broken AC. Rob broke down pros and cons of repair vs replacing for my unit and went the extra mile to be sure I had the right system size and HVAC coil to match my heat pump and my sq footage for my house. He also did some maintenance and extra work on issues when installing the new system to be sure it could work at full capacity.Great communication and didn't treat me different being a female. I'll definitely be returning!

I had an excellent experience with comfort hounds. My AC had gone out and was getting uncomfortably hot in the house. I have called several different companies and nobody had an appointments for days. Then I noticed comfort hounds said they were open after hours and within 20 minutes of my call they were here working on my air conditioning and had it repaired and working at 7:00 in the evening. I was really impressed with their quick and courteous service. I went ahead and signed up for the twice a year maintenance check so that I don't end up in an emergency situation again.

Really happy I went with these guys. My HVAC went out and they were able to come diagnose the problem very quickly. While they had the parts on the truck and could do the repair same day I opted to replace my system. Rob was very knowledgeable of his products and what would work best for my home and able to give me a quote within 24 hours. Rob called to check on us after a particularly cold Sunday night to see if we needed space heaters or anything, super thoughtful. The new system 100% solves the problems I had with the old system - my upstairs is finally warm.Definitely would recommend to a friend.
