THIS IS WHAT A SHELTER FRIEND IS!!! So Many people have told us not to kill . We are Not the county kill shelter. This is who we are and what we fight to do every day! Shelter Friend is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization that facilitates the rescue of animals from county shelters in southeastern North Carolina. We believe that a world which shows empathy toward animals will show more compassion and tolerance toward each other. What We Do
We work to provide positive publicity and increase visibility of the Bladen County Animal Shelter to increase adoptions. We act as a liaison between the shelter and rescue groups nationwide, coordinating rescue efforts and assisting with the logistics, including veterinary care and transportation. We help reduce the number of homeless pets and pet deaths in shelters. We strive to improve community consciousness toward the creatures sharing our lives through regular newspaper columns on pet topics. How We Do It
We make extensive use of the internet and the phone to connect homeless and unwanted dogs and cats residing in the county’s animal shelters with rescue organizations and adoptive homes. We temporarily foster former shelter animals, especially puppies. By obtaining veterinary care and holding them in quarantine outside of the shelter, they can be safely transferred to an approved rescue group or a safe and loving home. We maintain a low-income spay/neuter program.

Blind and Deaf Now stuck at the vet!
Poor Zac had 3 incredible people that were willing to open their home to him. But unfortunately things are not working out for this sweet old man. All three wonderful adopters were forced to withdraw . We totally understand all of their reasons but that leaves poor Zac without a place to go.. Because he is hearworm positive, has heart issues and is blind and deaf, until the perfect place can be found ,HE MUST STAY AT THE VET! It is more than $30 a day and his bill is adding up! He will need a bit more help while we find a solution for Zac . He has to go to the best possible home or rescue . If you think you can help reach out to A Shelter friend Volunteer Silvia 910 876 0539 Debbie 339 832 0806 or email [email protected]
