My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Abel, a 5-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier, has been patiently waiting for his forever home at Carteret County Humane Society. Abel is good with kids, up-to-date on shots, neutered, and house-trained. Previously adopted as a puppy, he sadly returned in April 2023 due to his owners' move. Abel longs to be the only pet, basking in all the love and TLC. He is a loving, happy guy who adores children & enjoys car rides. ❤️ Drop by to visit Abel and restore the loving home he’s been missing so much.

More about this shelter

We are a non-profit orginization relying on donations. We do have a contract witht the county to provide shelter for strays brought in. We have limited space but try to get our animals back to thier families and if that can not be accomplished we work hard on finding them new homes.
We do what we do because we love animals. We are realistic in in efforts, understand the problem and work towards educating the public on what needs to be done to prevent over population.
