Please come and meet these beautiful and wonderful animals today and give them a chance! The shelter is always full.
Jethro is about 10 months old. He is a big boy, weighing about 70 lbs. His heart is equally as big...he is just a real lovable sweetheart...a shelter favorite! He loves to give you his paw. He is neutered and up to date on all vetting. He has a case of demodex mange that he has been all treated for and is recovering nicely. He has no special needs or adverse effects from it. It will just take a little time for some of the lost fur to grow back. If interested in giving this special dog the loving home he deserves, please e-mail or call about him now. But hurry, the shelter is very crowded.<

The Lenoir County SPCA is a Non-profit organization dedicated to the prevention of cruelty to animals, the education of responsible pet owners, and the enforcement of humane animal control. Lenoir SPCA also functions as the Lenoir County Animal Pound and animals not adopted are put to sleep.
We are seeing increasingly growing numbers of family pets turned in due to vacations and moving plans, in addition to the strays and abandoned animals being brought in by Animal Control. We usually see a decrease in the number of adoptions much to the same reasons. Therefore, we will be continuously overcrowded and have many wonderful animals desperate for safe, loving homes.
IF YOU SEE an animal you are interested in, please call the shelter and see if it is still available. The shelter does not have computer access, email is checked by a volunteer at their home, therefore, you SHOULD CALL THE SHELTER if you do not get a response from emailing. Animals are given 72 hours to be adopted, sometimes they are kept a few days longer if space is available. This website is updated weekly. Shelter hours are Monday thru Saturday 12 noon to 4 p.m. and closed on Sundays.

There is always a constant flow of animals at the shelter, making it nearly impossible to keep an accurate web page. There are always several more at the shelter than what you may see here. I encourage you to visit the shelter. Adopting a pet is very easy. We have everyone fill out a questionaire,including a veterinary reference, just to make sure our animals get the best homes possible. There is a $100.00 donation for all dogs and a $90.00 dollar donation for cats, which includes a spay/neuter certificate, a rabies vaccine, worming and a distemper vaccine for the animal. You are required to take the animal into a vet within three to five days to insure its health and to get any additional shots.
ANIMALS FROM THIS SHELTER ARE REQUIRED TO BE SPAYED OR NEUTERED ONCE AGE APPROPRIATE. ANIMALS AT THE SHELTER ARE NOT ROUTINELY ALTERED PRIOR TO ADOPTION.
We are very pleased and fortunate to on occasion be able to place some of our wonderful pets into all breed or breed specific rescue groups where they will be safe and cared for until their forever home is found. To ensure that our animals are placed into legitimate and proper rescue groups, there is a screening process for the organization. If you are with a rescue organization and are interested in one of our animals, please email Kris, our
Rescue Coordinator.
You will be required to provide your organization's adoption contract, vet name and number so that verification can be obtained to condition of animals in your care, name of director or intake director, a brief overview of screening process, and any information about your organization you feel is necessary.
