Today is the final day of our Season of Giving! 🎁

With the help of our community, so far in 2025 Pitt Friends has been able to provide vet and preventative care, food, shelter, toys, safety, comfort, and SO much love to 152 dogs! All of our dogs have been pulled from Pitt County Animal Services, including many of the most vulnerable dogs and 15 litters of puppies! Thank you for helping make this possible! It means more than we (or the dogs) could possibly express!

Foster Spotlight: Curtis

Lacey’s Legacy started out because of one Siberian Husky love for feral kittens. Lacey Mae loved being a surrogate mom to hundreds of foster kittens in her short 10 years but now her legacy lives on each day. We focus on Trap Neuter Vaccinate Release (TNVR) and also tame anyone we can who comes though our doors. Giving outdoor kitties a second chance at a happier healthier life.

Curtis was caught during TNVR and quickly showed us he preferred the life of luxury inside. This guy loves to make biscuits in the air and is as playful as can be! ❤️

Christmas puppies are adorable 🎄🐾
But puppies also need time, training, and a plan once the holidays are over.

If you’re unsure about committing long-term, consider fostering for the holidays. Foster-to-adopt programs give puppies a loving place to land while helping families decide if it’s the right fit.

Check out your local shelters and rescues this season.
Merry Christmas 💛

This Season of Giving, support the Humane Society of Eastern NC and pups like Mirajane!

HSEC pulls homeless pups from 15 different shelters in our area. Donations are being accepted through December 19. Help us make second chances possible.💚
