Duplin County Animal Services

Duplin County Animal Services This page is designed to find loving homes/rescues for the countless number of unwanted/stray animals We do require home checks prior to adoption.

We invite you to come to view the animals here: https://www.petango.com/DUPLINCOUNTYANIMALSERVICES We will help you find the best-suited animal for you and your family. An application can be found here: http://www.duplincountync.com/wp-content/uploads/DCAS-Adoption-Application.pdf. and emailed back to dcanimals@duplincountync.com. We also require two (2) forms of I.D. with your correct physical address, one of which requires a photo i.d. We accept debit/credit or cash. All the stray animals here are required by law to be here 72 hours before adoption. Once you fill out the adoption application, please allow 48 business hours for processing. Include any vet references you may have. If you do not own your home and land, you must have appropriate paperwork stating animal consent agreements from the owner. If you reside on base, you will need written consent from Command. By filling out this application, you will be consenting to a home check by your local animal control agency. If your application is approved, you will pick your available pet out. An adoption contract will be signed for every adopted pet. Typically, the animal is old enough for alteration and will be scheduled by Duplin County Animal Control at Our Contracted Vet with the New Owners' knowledge of the appointed time. Please remember if your pet has had surgery, the pet cannot get wet for 10 days and must be in a clean, closed, air-controlled environment to heal properly. We have a 14 kennel shelter with 819 sq. miles and a population of 60,000 people with 7-10 pets per person, with many strays and owner surrenders... There is nowhere to house them nor support their care on the budget we are given, or any budget. We are too small of a shelter to be accepted into a grant program, so we search day in and day out for a place for them, we beg, we plead, and most importantly we try to keep everyone informed so they have an opportunity to make a difference where we cannot, our volunteers and supporters make such huge difference for these furbabies. You may donate below if you would like to help get a larger facility. https://www.duplincountync.com/new-animal-shelter-project/

Meet Abby 🐶 The Life of the Paw-ty Hi,

I’m Abby! I’m 3 months old, weigh 11.8 pounds, and I’m a Mixed Breed who’s going to grow into a big, beautiful dog. I came into the shelter with my sister Angel, and she’s my favorite playmate in the whole world. I’m full of energy, love to bounce around, and I never say no to a good game of chase or tug-of-war. Whether it’s zoomies in the yard or snuggles after playtime, I’m always ready to share my joy. If you’re looking for a pup who’s playful, loving, and loyal to the core—I’m your girl.

Meet Angel 🌟 I may be tiny now—just 9 pounds and 3 months old—but don’t let my size fool you. I’m a survivor with a heart full of courage. Before arriving at the shelter, I had an angel watching over me, and I carry that strength with me every day. I’m missing my rear right foot, but that hasn’t slowed me down one bit. I run, play, and love just like any pup. I’m a Mixed Breed who’ll grow into a large dog, and I’ve got a big personality to match. If you’re looking for a companion who’s full of love, resilience, and a little spark of magic, I’m your girl.

🐾 Meet Ralphy – Your Future Best Friend! 🐾

Hi there! My name is Ralphy, and I’m a 3-year-old Siberian Husky mix with a heart full of love and a tail that never stops wagging. I weigh 51 pounds, and I’m already neutered, so I’m ready to settle into my forever home.

I’ve spent time around kids and I’m told I’m pretty great with them—gentle, playful, and always up for a cuddle or a game. I’m also super smart, which means I love learning new things and figuring out puzzles (especially if treats are involved!).

Sometimes I get the zoomies—you know, those bursts of energy where I race around like a goofball. It’s just my way of showing how happy I am! After that, I’m all about belly rubs and chill time.

If you're looking for a loyal companion who’s equal parts brainy and bouncy, I might just be your perfect match. Let’s make some memories together!

** RESCUE ONLY**

Hi, I'm Skip! 🐾 I'm a 2-year-old mixed breed with a heart full of love and a personality that lights up the room. I came into the shelter with a spiral fracture in my right rear leg, but don't worry—I'm under excellent vet care and rocking a side splint like a champ. Right now, I'm on exercise restriction, which means no wild zoomies (for now), but I’m still finding ways to charm everyone around me.

I’m what you’d call a total ham—always ready to soak up attention, make people laugh, and wiggle my way into their hearts. The vet team and shelter staff can’t get enough of me, and honestly, I can’t blame them. I’ve got that irresistible mix of resilience and goofiness that makes every day brighter.

Our Story

We have a 14 kennel shelter with 819 sq miles and population of 60,000 people with 7-10 pets per person, with many strays and owner surrenders.... There is no where to house them nor support their care on the budget we are given, or any budget. We are too small of a shelter to be accepted into a grant program, so we search day in and day out for a place for them, we beg, we plead and most importantly we try to keep everyone informed so they have an opportunity to make a difference, where we cannot, our volunteers and supporters make such a huge difference for these furbabies. You may donate below if you would like to help get a larger facility. A larger building would bring so many changes for these animals, allowing them more time to find placement. As of right now, with our tiny building, they are only required the minimum state law requirement of 72 hours. However, we give them 125 hours total to try to find a better alternative. The building fills faster than people can get them out. Euthanasia is a sad truth here but with all the help, the village has performed miracle after miracle for these animals to have a second chance. For the ones we were unable to help, we wear on our sleeves. Help us make a change!! DONATION LINK https://www.paypal.com/donate?token=6GvRcfcDSHNVBk2NZqPYqrZWMWlEBsTs-80IQ_J99cZcK_uouUAAJBQOdIYUU_vC3e_-EU_vuZurMqp4

THIS IS OUR PAGE POLICY. YOU DONT HAVE TO LIKE THE BAD PARTS OF ANIMAL CONTROL, TRUST US, WE DONT EITHER, BUT AS THE WORLD TURNS, THIS IS HOW IT IS. DONT LIKE IT? CHANGE IT! WE WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A NO KILL SHELTER! JUST KEEP IN MIND, IF YOU ARE NOT PART OF THE SOLUTION, YOU ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM. THEREFORE, BE PRODUCTIVE. THERE ARE ALL AMOUNTS OF WAYS TO HELP THE ANIMALS BUT BASHING BEHIND A COMPUTER/PHONE WILL NOT GET ANYTHING DONE.

We will NOT tolerate any type of hate towards anyone including our shelter or staff. We do share all the frustration regarding loss of life in any capacity. We know its hard to see the ones that do not make it and its harder still for those of us who get to know the animals personally. Opinions about loss of a life are valued if portrayed in a constructive, respectful and intelligent way. Those people making comments for shock value or for what we feel is creating problems will be permanently banned from our page.
