Pender County Humane Society

We adopted our puppy from Pender Humane and had nothing but a wonderful experience. Maria helped with our application, kept me up to date on all current vet visits/shots and made a home visit with our new puppy to make sure it was a good fit. Maria and her staff genuinely love and care for every single animal that they house. It shows in how well they are treated and trained. Working in a shelter is not for the faint of heart and anyone that gives their time to these animals in need is special. Thanks to Maria and all her staff for a happy, healthy new member of our family. She is so loved!

Today was our adoption day with Rylee, such a sweet dog. She was obviously well cared for at Pender County Humane Society. She spent a couple of months there before we found each other. My family is very grateful for Maria and her team. The entire adoption experience was wonderful!

Absolutely amazing place! We recently fell in love with and adopted Drako… now Maverick! We couldn’t be more in love! Maria was so great with communication and drove all the way out to Wilmington to make a meet and great/home inspection work around our work schedules/ our complex managers schedule! PCHS truly is a great place and did such an amazing job with our sweet boy! You can really see how much they care and love their animals! All our interactions with the staff there has been nothing but pleasant! And we will forever be grateful for them❤

Great facility with caring staff

I have not yet been able to take the cat I want in. Is a wild cat. They provide all for you to fix, give shots and they return the pet in 3 days. If there is an adult female or male. They provide the needed surgery. At no cost to Pender county residents. This, keeps the animal population controlled. You can keep the animal or put it back in the wild but at least they're not multiplying. I feed 3 cats and I am trying to catch the mom and kitty so she does not get pregnant again.
All this information was shared and I got advise over the phone. They do try.
I know they may sound rude at times but try to understand, sometimes they are short handed and really cannot give you the exclusivity you get in a private clinic. They are providing a service to protect cats and dogs.
To military personnel. I am a veteran and a resident. Do not take a negative attitude. Please, look at the big picture. If you get transferred, you may or may not consider the fact that you might not be able to take your pet. That means that pet will suffer the loss of a family. Not every service member takes the time to turn them back. They just leave them behind, homeless. Trust me, I see it often. There job is protecting the animals. Thank you.

We are so happy that we chose to adopt from PCHS! The owners are very quick at responding back to questions. It is very clear that they care for their animals. We just adopted a kitten. We got to meet her and the other kittens in a timely manner. The gentleman at the shelter was super knowledgeable and helpful. It was a very thorough adoption process with very thoughtful questions about providing a good quality of life for the animal. All of the staff we have had interactions with were very nice. We are so thankful for PCHS for finding out kitty and giving her a forever home.

Very nice! Super clean. The animals are well cared for while waiting for their forever homes. The shelter director knows the animals, and it shows!

My dog Libby came from PCHS. She's a wonderful addition to our family! She was well taken care of and they informed us up front that she had a skin allergy that would need lots of treatments. She's worth every dollar though! A few years later I found a stray on the side of the road and took her home with me. I tried to find a home myself without any luck. I didn't have a fence to keep her in and didn't have the time to house train, so I called PCHS. It was hard to leave her there... In just a few days I had become really attached, but they were so kind and knowledgeable that I felt much better about leaving her there. Plus, I can go visit her until she finds her forever family! :)

We are so grateful and excited to adopt Tank from the Pender County Humane Society. Everyone there did an excellent job during the process of adoption!!!
