Pitt Friends
About Us!
Friends of the Pitt County Animal Shelter, better known as Pitt Friends, is a non-profit group that was set up to help the animals at the high kill shelter in Pitt County. We help with many things at the shelter and we also have foster homes that pull animals from the shelter to keep them until good homes are found. We are a very small group and can always use volunteers! If you would like to see all the animals we have up for adoption please visit our petfinder site at www.pittfriends.petfinder.com
Petsmart!!
Pitt Friends is ALWAYS out at Petsmart on the weekends. Saturday from 11:00 to 5:00 and most Sunday's from 2:00 to 5:00. We take dogs and cats from our foster program as well as dogs and cats from the Pitt County Animal Shelter. So come out and visit us at Petsmart in Greenville, NC. The dogs and cats would love to see you!
Many cats and dogs are available for adoption through Pitt Friends. Above is Frostie, a retriever terrier mix around 1 year old. He is a very sweet boy that loves to play. Frostie is looking for his forever home!
Working to save animals just like Sonnie (below) from the shelter is the goal of Pitt Friends. Sonnie spent many months at the shelter waiting for his forever home. He is now happily waiting for his forever home while in foster care. He is very grateful for the volunteers and foster homes of Pitt Friends. Without them, Sonnie and many other dogs and cats may never know life outside the shelter. And remember...with every foster dog or cat adopted, that allows a foster home to pull a new dog or cat from the shelter into foster care. Its a win-win situation!!
Pitt County Animal Shelter
The county took over running the animal shelter about 4 years ago and have done an outstanding job. The adoption rate sky rocketed from what the City was doing when they ran the shelter. The animals get as much time as possible before being put to sleep but unfortunately it still isn't enough for most of them. You can HELP!! PLEASE spay and neuter your pets and encourage neighbors, friends, and relatives to do the same and we will see a decrease in euthanasia. It won't happen over night but it can happen with everyones help!! BE AN ADVOCATE!!
Community Events
Pitt Friends is working to become more involved in community events. Our volunteers, as well as our dogs/cats available for adoption, enjoy participating and informing people about our program, as well as answering dog/cat related questions.
