Pet Spotlight

Angel is a sweet spayed female APBT with lots of love to share with a new family. She is an older gal who is settled and easy going and has been in a family environment. She is a light cream color with big brown eyes. She has one ear that just doesn't want to stand up as straight as the other. How cute is that?!?!?

Angel is a pretty laid back gal who loves her humans, but does not like other dogs. She will take advantage of any opportunity to engage another dog, so her owners will need to be conscious of this tendency to help keep her from getting into trouble. Taking her to dog parks would not be an option. She has not been tested with cats, but we think she would do best in a single pet home.

Angel has been with her HSEC family for some time and she is more than ready to find a new family to call her own. If you have room in your home for a loyal companion, then Angel will surely be a great pick. She will require a greater commitment than some dogs would, but she will be more than worth it!

We prefer to adopt bully breeds to owners with successful previous bully experience. The adoption process for bully breeds involves a home check, vet check and possible reference check. There are no same day adopted for bully breeds. We want to ensure that Angel finds the right home and the right family. Come meet Angel today!

Adopting a Friend from the Humane Society:

Small Breed Puppies and Dogs $155.00
Medium and Large Breed Puppies $115.00
Medium and Large Breed Dogs $95.00
Purebred Dogs and Puppies $155.00
Purebred Cats or Kittens $130.00
Kittens $90.00
Declawed Cats or Kittens $90.00
Cats $70.00
The fee includes worming, heartworm testing/treatment (for dogs), a 4 pound bag of Hill's Science Diet and the spay/neuter. At the time of adoption the animal will be up to date with vaccinations (as age appropriate) and all our animals are spayed or neutered prior to the time of adoption. Vaccinations do vary with the age of the animal. Some vaccinations may be required after adoption which are not included in the adoption fee. For comparison, local vets usually charge between $90-$100 to spay a female cat - so these adoption fees are a real bargin! At the current time we are also offering 1 free month of pet insurance at the time of adoption. The Humane Society also has rabbits for adoption. Fees for rabbits and other less common pets are negotiable at the time of adoption.

Adopting a Friend at PetSmart:

The Humane Society of Eastern Carolina makes adoptions of animals through the Luv-A-Pet Center at PETsMART in Greenville, North Carolina. PETsMART allows our organization to use the space as a part of PETsMART Charities. With every adoption made through the Luv-A-Pet Center, PETsMART gives a free book of cupons to the happy new pet owner. PETsMART stores do not sell dogs or cats because of our nationwide pet-overpopulation problem. All adoptions made through the Luv-A-Pet center will adhere to the same criteria for adoption, adoption contract, fees, and health regulations as those made in the Humane Society of Eastern Carolina shelter. The Humane Society will be at PetSmart from February 15 - 28, 2010. Pet adoption hours are Monday through Friday weeknights from 5:30 - 8:00 pm, Saturdays from 11:00 am - 5:00 pm, and Sundays from 2:00 - 5:00 pm.

Volunteering - It is so rewarding to be a volunteer and takes so little time.
