Welcome to Pender County Humane Society
We are a 501(c)3 no-kill animal shelter located in Burgaw, North Carolina. Our mission is to improve the lives of homeless
and unwanted animals by providing shelter and medical care while finding loving and responsible permanent homes.
We work to prevent cruelty and overpopulation among dogs and cats and to help assist and educate the public about responsible pet care.
We receive no local, state or federal funding. We are not affiliated with the Pender County Animal Shelter or Pender County Animal Control.
Interested in Volunteering with Our Organization?
Want to make a difference in the lives of homeless and unwanted animals in Pender County? The Pender County Humane Society is looking for animal-loving people who might be interested in volunteering with our organization in several capacities, including serving on the Board of Directors, working on fundraising or social media, helping with administrative tasks, or volunteering at the Shelter itself. Our organization cannot exist without volunteers, and even a few hours a week or a month can make a huge difference!
