Pitt County Animal Services

We are a small shelter that services the entirety of Pitt County, located in Greenville, North Carolina. Stray and Missing Animals: If you have lost a pet please report it to our shelter and come in to look for your pet immediately. Stray animals often times can only be held for the minimum time due to space, 72 hours for cats, and five business days for dogs... Also, if you live within the city limits of Ayden, Grifton, Bethel, Farmville, Winterville or within the city limits of Greenville, all of these towns manage their own Animal Control issues and have holding pens where they often hold the animals for 72 hours. So please contact them as well if you are missing a pet!! Owner Surrenders: If you have a pet you wish to surrender to us you must CALL us first to see if space is available for intake. YOU MUST BE FROM PITT COUNTY IN ORDER TO SURRENDER AN ANIMAL TO OUR FACILITY. There is a $20 Owner Surrender fee to surrender your pet to the Pitt County Animal Shelter. If space is available, you will be given a time to bring your pet in. Please bring any medical records that you may have for your pet and a minimum of a valid driver's license. We cannot guarantee adoption for each animal that is surrendered to our facility. Volunteering: There are many opportunities for volunteers at the Pitt County Animal Shelter, from cleaning and caring for the pets in our shelter, to helping with adoption events. You must be at least 16 years old to volunteer at the shelter. If you're interested in volunteering with us, stop by the shelter any weekday afternoon to speak with our Admins about our new volunteer orientation and how to sign up today!
