My name is Archie!

Animals can be adopted to only approved homes. Application, vet references, personal references, etc. will be required. When feasible a home visit will also be done. Send us your email through a private message so we can email you an adoption application. Dog Adoption fee: $150 Cat adoption $50 All animals are sterilized before adoption (Most of the time, if we have the funds and the time) and they are up to date on all core vaccines. If an animal is too young to sterilize, an agreement is signed that of age agreed upon the animal will be sterilized (at your expense unless discussed) and proof thereof provided to us. THIS IS STRICTLY ENFORCED or the animal will be returned back to us! If you currently have any dogs we suggest to bring them to the shelter to meet the dog you are interested in and bring your family. NO DOGS ARE ADOPTED TO LIVE OUTSIDE! They must be adopted to become INSIDE beloved family members. For some dogs we require a fenced yard (this depends on the dog) we can discuss it. Please message us on facebook for the fastest way to discuss adoption!

Bertie County Humane Society (Roanoke Chowan Humane Society) is a 501c3 Non-Profit Organization that consists of volunteers working out of our county kill shelter. Our mission is to protect and shelter the stray, orphaned, abandoned, & unwanted animals of Bertie County, NC. We strive to place them into loving, furever homes. We also work closely with rescues and deeply value and appreciate these relationships. Bertie County, NC is located in very rural, Northeastern NC. Our county shelter is open admission; however it is small, and does not currently have public visiting hours. To visit a dog or cat for adoption, please contact us and we will happily meet you at the shelter for a meet-and-greet with your potential new family member. Our intake & adoptions vary day to day, so it is very possible we may have dogs &/or cats available for adoption that are not yet featured here. We receive no government funding, and rely solely on donation & contributions. It is with the support of the public’s generosity that allows us to find loving, forever homes or obtain rescue for our county shelter residents. All donations are tax-deductible and greatly appreciated. We are always looking for animal lovers to share their time and talent as dedicated volunteers. The opportunities range from helping to socialize/play with the animals for adoption at the shelter to helping transport shelter residents to the vet or rescue. If you are interested in volunteering, please do not hesitate to contact us at 252-325-3647. We look forward to hearing from you.
