Pender Humane Society was originally chartered in the 1970's, but was inactive from 1977 through May 1997. It was re-chartered in 1997 with the discovery of abused and neglected animals in a Burgaw household. Highway 53 West behind the former For Our Furry Friends Resale/Consignment Store. The humane society rescues abused and abandoned animals (dogs and cats only) in Pender County and New Hanover

. Since the shelter is a no-kill facility, all animals taken in are cared for until adoption. The current shelter has room for approximately 20 adult dogs or puppies and 15 adult cats or kittens. The Humane Society also has several foster homes allowing us to rescue more animals than we can house at one time. Recognizing a need for a permanent shelter, PCHS members on June 30, 2004, purchased property on Hwy 53 W. A small building located on the property was turned into a resale/consignment store. The store was appropriately named, "For Our Furry Friends" (FOFF). Proceeds from store sales support the purchase of this property along with the shelter’s monthly operating expenses. With the purchase of this property, a building fund was established. It was the dream of PCHS members to build a new, permanent shelter on this location. The dream came true on July 18, 2009 with the completion of a new 2,000 square foot shelter.

🐾 June is National Pet Preparedness Month 🐾

Emergencies can happen when we least expect them — and our pets depend on us to keep them safe. Take time this month to create a plan, pack an emergency kit, and make sure your furry family members are prepared too.

Things every pet parent should have:
• Food & water for several days
• Medications & medical records
• Leash, carrier, and ID tags
• Comfort items & current photos
• A safe evacuation plan

Prepared pets are protected pets. Because they’re not “just animals” - they’re family. ❤️🐶🐱

They may be dressed in cute little outfits, but their story is far from cute.
At 7 years old, Lil Bit, and 8 years old, Danny Boy, recently lost the only person they have ever known and loved. Suddenly, their whole world changed. Everything familiar ..their home, their routine, their person is gone.
Now these two sweet seniors are trying to navigate a confusing new chapter together. Through all the uncertainty, they still find comfort in each other’s presence, (Danny Boy is Lil Bit's confidence) and we would love nothing more than to see them stay together in a loving home for the rest of their golden years.

She always said to have faith… Gloria Johnson, one of the founding members and President Emeritus of Pender County Humane Society, believed in angels and miracles; today we couldn’t stop thinking about that. Knowing there is now only $1,865 left to raise feels nothing short of a blessing. The love, support, shares, donations, the calls and encouragement from this community has been absolutely amazing. Maybe Gloria was right all along. Sometimes angels show up in the kindness of people willing to help when it matters most. ❤️🥹
