Guilford County Animal Services is encouraging residents and local organizations to consult its event calendar for a schedule of adoption events, public education sessions and rabies vaccination opportunities. Recent listings include an adoption event in Greensboro on November 8, 2025 in partnership with Greensboro Shrub Nursery and a Cozy Cat Cabins workshop scheduled for November 15, 2025 in Greensboro. The calendar is maintained as the county s central listing of animal services community events and is updated regularly with weekly and monthly activities.
The calendar provides practical information for people looking to adopt pets, learn about animal care, or access vaccinations that protect both animals and people. Rabies vaccination events are specifically included among the listings, reflecting the county s role in coordinating preventive services that reduce the risk of zoonotic disease. Accessible vaccination clinics can help residents meet recommended or required protections for their animals, and they form a key component of local public health strategies.
Beyond immediate health benefits, the calendar is also a tool for community building. Adoption events reduce shelter strain and create opportunities for families to find companion animals, while workshops such as Cozy Cat Cabins aim to improve animal welfare through education. Guilford County Animal Services encourages community partnerships for adoption drives and public education, inviting local businesses, nonprofits and neighborhood groups to collaborate on outreach and events.
The county makes contact information available for prospective partners and residents seeking details. Department inquiries may be made by calling (336) 641 3400. Community groups or event partners can contact Assistant Director Lisa Lee at llee@guilfordcountync.gov for coordination and partnership information.
Maintaining a centralized, up to date calendar helps address equity concerns by making event information easier to find for people across Guilford County. When outreach and vaccination programs are visible and well advertised, residents with limited access to veterinary clinics or transportation can plan to attend local events. That accessibility matters for neighborhoods that historically face barriers to care, and it supports broader goals of public safety and community wellness.
Local leaders and public health officials have long emphasized that animal health intersects with human health and social stability. By keeping a current schedule of events and encouraging partnerships, Guilford County Animal Services is positioning itself as a resource for prevention, education and humane outcomes. Residents are encouraged to check the county calendar often for updates and to reach out using the contacts provided to propose events or get more information.
