At this time, we will ONLY be able to walk adopters around after they have filled out the application and set an appointment time with HSEC staff. We will not be able to facilitate "walk-in" adoptions. If you have any questions about this adoption process, please feel free to reach out to us. You may also email us at AdoptHSEC@gmail.com or call us at (252)413-7247.

HSEC is not able to hold specific animals and we can not promise you will be able to adopt the animal you apply for. We reserve the right to decline any application and/or suggest a dog or cat that we believe may fit your household best.

About Us

Report

The Humane Society of Eastern Carolina's mission is to serve as a safe haven for homeless and neglected pets until they find their forever home and to serve as a resource to the community. By educating the public about issues pertaining to animals, we feel that we can work towards the elimination of over breeding of dogs and cats and teach owners to be responsible pet owners. At the same time, we hope to facilitate adoptions of pets to good homes so that we can allow more unwanted animals to find a temporary home with us.

Surrender a Pet

Report

The Humane Society of Eastern Carolina does not accept stray animals. If you have found a stray please contact the animal control agency for the county/city in which you found the animal. This will be less stressful for your animal, allows you to play a part in uniting him with a new family, and makes additional space available for pets whose lives are at risk.

Faq

Report

A: No. Since we are a no-kill, privately owned organization we cannot take lost or stray animals for quite a few reasons. The biggest of these is that we are not set up to facilitate the legal 72 hour hold period for owners to come find their lost animal before they are available for adoption. We also have no history or temperment test on these animals and would be unable to accept them into our adoption program without this. All lost or stray animals should be taken to the Pitt County Animal Shelter for their legal 72 hour hold if you cannot hold the animal yourself.
