www.PenderHumane.org The shelter is located at 1407 N.C.

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.

Meet Lucky, a handsome 4 year old Bichon who is looking for a new family through absolutely no fault of his own. Sometimes life takes an unexpected turn, and through no doing of his own, Lucky finds himself needing a new place to call home. This little guy has so much love and companionship to offer!

Here's what we know about Lucky:
4 years old and full of fluffy charm!
Reportedly good with other dogs.
Said to do well with children ages 8 and older.
Up to date on his vaccinations.
Scheduled to be neutered next week.
Semi-housebroken and still working on perfecting his potty manners. Lucky may need a little patience and consistency as he settles into his new home and continues working on his house training.

Let's help Lucky find the loving home he deserves! Please share his story and help us find his happily ever after.

Happy National Cat Day! 🐱❤️

If you have a cat, you already know they pretty much run the house. They make us laugh, keep us company, and somehow manage to get away with just about anything.

Today we’re celebrating all the cats, from the ones curled up on our couches to the ones still waiting here at Pender Humane Society for a place to call home.

Show us your kitties in the comments! We want to see those sweet faces. Give them an extra scratch behind the ears from us today. 😻

And if you’ve been thinking about adding a cat to your family, we have a few who would love to meet you!

Gym rat by morning, spa king by afternoon! Bodie enjoyed a little time away from the shelter today, getting his workout in and finishing things off with a nice, refreshing bath.
