Roanoke Rapids Animal Control do not operate a shelter. Animals that are picked up are transported to
Halifax County Animal Control, 568 Dog Pound Rd, Halifax, 27839.
Halifax County Animal Control strives to provide timely response to all of its citizens. In order to accomplish this, we advise our citizens to follow these guidelines:
- If you are requesting traps for stray or nuisance animals, please call (252) 583-6651.
- If you are reporting animal cruelty please call (252) 583-6651.
- If your animal has been attacked or if you have an aggressive animal on your property, please call 911.
- All animal bites must be reported to Halifax County Health Dept. by calling (252) 583-6651. If it is after hours or a holiday, please call 911.
Animal Control Officers will pick up stray dogs and cats on public property or on private property when reported.
If the animal has tags, every reasonable effort is made to contact the owner to come and pick up the animal at the
shelter. It is County policy that the animal is to be held at the shelter for a minimum of one week. If the owner
is not located the pet is offered for adoption or put to sleep.
If your dog is missing please go to 568 Dog Pound Rd, Halifax, 27839 8:30am - 5:30pm to see if your dog is there. Contacting them by phone may not be good enough because your description of your dog may not be the same as that of Animal Control. DO IT NOW BECAUSE TOMORROW MAY BE TOO LATE.
On the Halifax County Animal Control webpage it says:
"In some cases, wanted pets have been destroyed at the shelter because the owner was identified too late".

What we do
Rainbow Animal Rescue
is a no-kill rescue based in Roanoke Rapids, North Eastern North Carolina. We are a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) rescue organization.
We started our rescue in an effort to help the many unwanted, abandoned and mistreated animals in North Carolina
and the surrounding areas. We foster pets in our homes until we can find loving 'forever' homes for them.
We will not 'ship' animals to you. You will either have to collect them or we may be able to work
with you to arrange transport if you can comply with our adoption conditions.
Foster Homes Urgently Required
We rely on people to provide temporary homes to the dogs and cats we have rescued. The more foster homes we have,
the more pets we can save
from certain death at the county pound so we never have enough! We prefer our foster homes to be in
Roanoke Rapids and Halifax area but we are open to offers. If you would like more information about fostering please e-mail
halifaxrescueangels@yahoo.com
On our Facebook page
you will find photo's of rescued dogs and cats, news of events, requests for assistance, details of lost and found dogs
and news of pets in their forever homes.
Donations of your time are always welcome especially in our new Animal Rescue and Adoption Center.
We are always looking for good foster homes (we really need these),
help with transports, fundraising, etc. Even a few hours a month can make a difference. If you think
you would like to help out, please write or email. Cash donations are always gratefully accepted, too.
Donations may be made via PayPal, a secure online
payment service. You can donate with cash or a credit card, they accept both methods. Your donations
are tax deductible.
