Don’t want to get dolled up to impress a man?! Come meet Charles Xavier! This handsome and very distinguished gentleman is waiting for you. He does not care if your hair looks like you’ve recently robbed a balloon all over the top of your head. He does not care if you have a pit stains because you’ve been working hard all day. Have disgusting nails because you’ve been in the dirt? That’s OK too. He will still look at you like you are the love of his life, kiss your forehead and follow to wherever you lead!

These two tiny creatures were brought in separately, both alone and both very much needing a warm body to sleep next to.  They have been together about a week now, and you will not find one sleeping without the other.  The kitten is a male and the puppy is a girl. Comment with your name suggestions.

This big man is perfect for someone and we need them to see him! Bolt is a 1 year old German shepherd, weighing about 70 lbs and his perfect family is active and familiar with working breeds. Has done well with other dogs, but is a bit intrusive and we need proper introduction and leadership.  His leash manners were not great at first, but he has caught on very well with very little time. Bolt is highly trainable and just needs someone who loves working with their dog. Help us find his family! Please share.

OUR SHELTER IS FULL, AND WE NEED YOUR HELP. 💔

Behind every kennel door is an animal waiting for a chance, a safe place to rest, and someone to give them hope. Right now, we are full, and we cannot do this alone. ❤️🐾

Our team has been working incredibly hard to save lives and help animals in our community. So far this month, Lenoir County SPCA has had:

🐶 26 adoptions — 26 animals finding new beginnings
🐾 22 rescues — 22 animals getting a chance through rescue partners
🏡 3 returns to owners — 3 pets reunited with their families
✂️ 25 shelter spay and neuter surgeries completed, with another 25 scheduled for Thursday!
❤️ Countless community spay and neuter efforts to help prevent unwanted litters and keep more animals out of shelters.

We are proud of every single one of these accomplishments. But here's the hard reality: our shelter is full, and the animals keep coming in from Animal Control. The calls and intakes aren't slowing down.

Our staff is giving this everything they've got. They show up every day, care for the animals, clean kennels, provide medical care, help with adoptions and rescues, and work tirelessly to give every animal the attention it deserves. They are doing everything they can, but even the most dedicated team has limits when there simply isn't enough space.

We need our community now more than ever. ❤️

🐶 ADOPT — Open your heart and home to a shelter pet.

🐾 RESCUE — Rescue partners, please reach out. We need your help getting animals into safe placements.

🏡 FOSTER — Even a temporary home can save a life and give an animal a much-needed break from the shelter.

💙 VOLUNTEER — Help walk dogs, spend time with the animals, provide enrichment, take pictures, or lend a hand wherever you can. Every hour matters.

You don't have to adopt to make a difference. You don't have to take an animal home forever to help save its life. A temporary foster home, a few hours of volunteering, or even sharing this post could connect an animal with the person who changes everything.

Our staff is giving all they have. Our rescue partners are helping. Our community spay and neuter efforts are making a difference. But we cannot keep doing this without help from our community.

These animals didn't ask to be in a shelter. They are here because they need us. And we want to be there for them, but we need more people standing beside us.

Please, if you can help in any way, reach out to Lenoir County SPCA. If you can't help directly, please SHARE this post. The person who can adopt, foster, rescue, or volunteer might be on your friends list.

🐾 26 adoptions. 22 rescues. 3 reunions. 25 spay and neuter surgeries completed, with 25 more scheduled. Countless community efforts. And the animals keep coming.

💔 Our shelter is full. Our staff is giving it everything they've got. Now we're asking our community to help us keep going.

Please help us make room for hope. Every animal deserves a second chance. ❤️🐾
