Update on New Animal Control Facility

Caldwell County is in the process of finalizing plans for a new animal control facility. The facility will be built on the Caldwell County Governmental Campus located in the 2300 block of Morganton Boulevard in Lenoir on property already owned by the county.

As currently proposed, the new facility would potentially double the county’s capacity to house animals and provide more space for quality animal care. Plans call for animal acquaintance rooms, cat play rooms, an adoption and exercise courtyard, an education room, and a larger livestock pasture.

Once county officials sign off on the plans, they will go back to the architect for blueprints before the bidding process can begin. For more information, contact Paige Counts, public information officer, at pcounts@caldwellcountync.org or (828) 759-7879.
