Cumberland County Animal Shelter

Cumberland County Animal Shelter houses approximately 2000 animals every year. They have a small staff of a shelter Director and two full-time employees with the rest of the staff made up of part-timers who come and go. As a private, retired citizen, The shelter director has authorized me to go into the shelter five days a week to photograph animals to post at online adoption sites. I add, edit and then delete animals when they have been adopted or are no longer available. Because they do not have a large enough staff to handle this type of work, I am able to do it for the shelter, mostly from my home, as a free service.

Meet MAVERICK

MAVERICK is a one to two year-old male dog. He arrived at the shelter in mid April 2025 and his breed mix is listed as Labrador retriever and Heeler. His intake weight was 48 pounds. He did not feel well when he arrived and staff soon discovered that he had an intestinal blockage. That was due to something he had eaten that should not have been eaten! You know how dogs are about eating everything in sight, right? Anyway, it did require surgery and he is all healed now. However, he has not yet been neutered and that must be done before he can go home with you as your own. MAVERICK has been chomping at the bit (so to speak) to get his face known and to have the chance to be made available for adoption. Well, here you go! He is ready to meet you and would be thrilled if serious adopters made the effort to CALL the shelter to schedule an adoption appointment. Staff can explain the adoption procedures and fees when you call. The shelter does require EXACT change in the form of cash or a check. The shelter is UNABLE to accept credit or debit. So, please go prepared!

Adoption Process
Adoption contract, Adoption fee of $50 per cat and $80 per dog set by county commission and subject to change, drivers license and cash or check only. The adoption fees currently cover most, but not all, of the spay/neuter cost incurred by the county.
