Leave No Trace: Please Do Not Leave Unwanted Animals Within the Park
Lake Wheeler Park supports Leave No Trace principles for a minimum-impact experience with the outdoors. We encourage the public to please refrain from leaving domesticated animals within the park.
If you would like to surrender an animal, please do your best to rehome the animal yourself, as shelters tend to be at max capacity. If you need guidance on how to surrender an unwanted animal, you can visit the SPCA of Wake County Helpline for further assistance.
