Love this place! Great people doing a great job in sometimes a difficult situation. The animals are so lucky to have such caring and concerned staff!

The woman currently calling the shots at the shelter is absolutely destroying what it use to stand for. She is having animals euthanized that don't deserve to be, meaning in good health & adoptable. She's making NO effort to find rescues for dogs that can be placed in one. This isn't a shelter for animals anymore. We've adopted special needs case animals from here in the past & its sad to know some of our now family would have been put down under the current "leadership". Someone who actually cares about the animals & giving them a chance in life needs to take over because this woman is euthanasia happy & doesn't seem to actually care about the animals that come in.

They have lots of dogs available for adoption. Unfortunately there was others families looking at the dogs and not correcting their children from agitating and/or scaring the dogs. They have some older cats and several kittens. We have a full house of pets or I would have gone home with a kitten.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Michael Moniz | Oct 24, 2020
Josh Taylor | Oct 24, 2020

Generally within the same visit at the location, you fill out a form and they ask a few questions. Mine was done within minutes.

Is this place staffed? Does anyone answer the phones ever? Intrested in adopting and had a few questions but no one is ever there.

Monkey Moo | Oct 24, 2020
Danette G. | Oct 24, 2020

They are fully staffed and do answer the phones. Sorry, Julie that you have questions. They are very full with cats and dogs, not including all the new intakes, all the people coming into the shelter. They do the best they can, with what they do have. Check their website for times of operation and maybe go in person. So your questions can be answered in person. Who knows everything could all be done in one visit.

Beth I am so sorry I wasn't able to call you back today. I spoke with the manager at the Currituck Animal Shelter and they can take them no problem.

Do I have to live in Elizabeth City or a city closeby to adopt an animal from your SPCA? I live in Virginia Beach, VA, so would I be able to adopt from your SPCA?

K. Susan Huffer | Oct 24, 2020
SPCA of Northeastern NC | Oct 24, 2020

Yes you would be able to adopt from another city. We just ask that you bring your animals vaccine records and have your landlords phone number or copy of your lease if you rent. Thank you.

If I need a place for my 2 dogs to stay will the SPCA pretty much foster them until i can get them out ? Which will probably be 1-2 months??

Ashleigh Myers | Oct 25, 2018
SPCA of Northeastern NC | Oct 25, 2019

We do not board animals at our facility. If you were to surrender an animal to us, after its holding period (3-6 days) it would be available for adoption and would not be held for your return. Instead try some of the local vets. Most of them do offer boarding.

Do y'all currently have any puppies up for adoption?

Marie Richey | Jun 26, 2022
SPCA of Northeastern NC | Jun 26, 2022

We currently do not. We have Elaina who is younger and sweet as can be. Her picture is on our website.

When you adopt an animal from here, how much does it cost? And do they already have their shots and stuff?

Marie Richey | Jun 26, 2022
Marina Fowler | Jun 26, 2022

Depends on what their adoption fee is at the time. I adopted a 28 day old cat so I just had to bring her back in several different times to get her shots that was included in the adoption fee as well as her spay when she was old enough

Can the spca take a kitten that was found in a field in Washington county? There seem to be no rescues or shelters near me.

Holly | Oct 24, 2020
SPCA of Northeastern NC | Oct 24, 2020

We are only contracted through Pasquotank and Camden counties. Washington does have a local shelter that should be able to take it in.

My wife and I were registered in Virginia to work at the Virginia Beach SPCA. Would our training transfer to this one?

Traveler Jae | Oct 24, 2020

It would not. You would have to apply online then go through orientation with us.

ncchick424 | Oct 24, 2020

What county do you live in? As long as you live in Pasquotank and Camden counties. We will need to schedule an owner surrender appointment though so please call the shelter before bringing them in.

How old do you have to be to volunteer because I have a daughter who is 13 and really wants to pursue a job in the animal field and really wants to help out the SPCA.

Lolo Waterfield | Oct 25, 2019
Michael Platter | Oct 25, 2019

I dont know if you can become a volunteer at 13, but you'd have to go to SPCA and ask to apply

Do y’all have guinea pigs

Richy | Oct 25, 2019
SPCA of Northeastern NC | Oct 25, 2019

We currently don't have any Guinea pigs but we do get them in.

I need to give up my cat. She is 5 years old and since we move to Elizabeth City in April of last year she has not ajusted well. Her health is going down hill and she has become destructive of my furniture and the door frames..

Jeannie Perry | Oct 25, 2019
lynda yoder | Oct 25, 2019

She is trying to mark her territory. This is a new home and she is trying to adjust. If she doesn't have a nice large kittie condo I would suggest getting her one and put it in front of a window if possible. You can get one at Ollie's cheap. Around $60 for a multi level 41/2 - 5ft. When she scratches where she is not supposed to lightly smack her paw (I only use my finger to do this) and place her at the scratch Post using her paws to make scratching motion. Shelters and rescues are over crowded and she will adjust even less without her family

Does the spca euthanize dogs after a certain amount of time if they aren't adopted? I need to rehome my Pitt mix and trying to find the best option for her. She is great with kids and other dogs. Cant have her in the new place.

Jay Dog | Oct 25, 2018
SPCA of Northeastern NC | Oct 25, 2018

We don't euthanize for space or time. You may also try adoptapet.com to look into rehoming options for your dog. We do schedule owner surrenders so if you do decide that you need to surrender her you will have to call and schedule an appointment with us. What may I ask is your reason for surrender?
