Meet our friends Tang and Mango! Sadly, someone decided to abandon these orange cuties in a box in our parking lot several days ago. The sun was hot that day and we are grateful a staff member saw the box and brought them to safety. Tang and Mango are a bonded pair (likely brothers), and we would love to see them go home together. They are sweet-natured, curious boys who love toys, wrestling and cuddling.
Tang and Mango deserve a family who loves and cares for them – a forever home. If you would like to open your heart and home to our sweet boys, please call 910 937-1164 to schedule an appointment.
Today was a big spay/neuter day. We will have six amazing pups available for adoption tomorrow, including sweet little Billy. Billy is an approximately 1-year-old Chihuahua and is as cute as can be.
We will have several new cats and kittens available for adoption tomorrow as well!

It’s not often that we get a stray parakeet here at OCAS, but this little cutie was brought to us by a concerned citizen who had found him at her wild bird feeder. The poor little guy was getting bullied by some aggressive blue jays, and the citizen rescued him and brought him to the shelter. Now named Romeo (he is quite the love), our little feathered friend is now available for adoption.
If you are looking to add a sweet little bird to your family, please call 910 937-1164 and ask for Romeo!

Meet Danny! Our handsome Danny is an approximately 3-year-old Akita mix. Looking for an intelligent, active pup? Danny is your boy! Danny is 48 pounds and has tested heartworm negative.

Danny would love a home with a big, fenced yard to run and a human that can keep up – couch potatoes need not apply! If you are searching for a sidekick for your life's adventures, we would love for you to give Danny a chance.

***Adopted***
Our sweet little Sushi kitten had quite an ordeal on her way to our adoption floor. She first came to us with a fishhook embedded in her paw. She was immediately brought to our vet team and evaluated. Sushi was then anesthetized; the hook was removed, and her wound was tended to until healed. We are so fortunate at OCAS to have a veterinary staff to care for animals like Sushi.
Thanks to lots of TLC from shelter staff, 6-month-old Sushi made a quick recovery. She was spayed yesterday and is now available for adoption.
This calico beauty is a long-haired cat, so she will require extra grooming care. Her adopter will need be prepared to devote extra time to brushing and preventing matting.
If you are interested in adopting Miss Sushi, she is available for adoption today! Please call 910 937-1164 to schedule an appointment.
***Adopted***
Meet Rolo and Jazz! This 5-year-old guinea pig duo have been together their whole lives. They had been gifted to a couple as babies and brought to us when their humans were no longer able to care for them. These boys are chirpy and sweet-natured. They do well being handled, but we would recommend an experienced home. The boys love fresh veggies, playing hide-and-seek in their igloos and huddling up together. They have been very well cared for and will need a home that can give them lots of attention. Rolo and Jazz are a bonded pair, and we would never dream of separating them. They will be available for adoption tomorrow at 2PM.
If you can give these sweet boys a loving home, please call 910 937-1164 to schedule an appointment.
Our adorable kitten friends Fanta, Mercedes and Bentley are available for adoption today!
Please call 910 937-1164 to schedule an appointment. They will not be available for long.
All kitten adoptions are $100 and include core vaccinations, basic dewormer, 30-day flea and tick treatment, spay/neuter, microchip and OCAS goody bag. Adult cats (age 1 and up) currently have a special adoption fee of $50.
*** HAPPY TAILS ***
When Miss Ava wandered from home, her family was very worried and made sure to reach out to us at the shelter so that we could keep watch for her. Luckily Ava was found by a kind samaritan and brought to Animal Services. When she arrived we were able to call her mom right away and Ava was reunited without having to be impounded. We were happy to play a part in getting this sweet baby home!
If you have lost or found a pet, please make sure to reach out to us at OCAS immediately. A lost/found pet report is conveniently located on our website: https://www.onslowcountync.gov/1199/Report-LostFound-Pet
You may complete and submit the form online, provide contact and location information as well as upload details and a photo of the lost/found pet. The report is shared with all shelter and Animal Control staff so that we may help facilitate a quick reunion.
To help your beloved pet find their way back to you should you become separated, please make sure to keep microchip information updated and have your pet wear an ID, rabies tag and collar at all times.
9-year-old Otto was found by one of our Animal Control Officers, wandering the street on his own. Otto is blind, partially deaf and had clearly been through some tough years. Our hearts ached to know that he had no one to care for him. For a dog like Otto, with multiple special needs, adoption is not the best option.
For cases like his, we reach out to our network of rescue partners, to find an organization who can best provide the necessary care. Sometimes we are able to quickly find a placement, but for Otto, the task was more difficult. Our rescue coordinator Miss Juliet, refused to give up on Otto and worked tirelessly to find him placement.
We are so happy to know that our sweet old man Otto has left the shelter behind and will spend his golden years surrounded with the love and care he deserves.

Our delivery driver has been very busy! Thank you to everyone who has sent donations our way. From food to toys to treats, your kindness helps us provide the best for our animal friends.
If you would like to donate, supplies may be dropped off at the shelter at 244 Georgetown Road, Jacksonville, or shipped directly. You may view our online wish list at https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/36Q2K58I9OTMN?ref_=wl_share
It’s rare for our smallest shelter friends to go unnoticed, but it has been several days, and no one has come for our adorable puppies Pebbles, Perry & Lincoln. It’s been a busy week for families in Onslow County, with school back in session, so we are hoping we will have a big adoption weekend.
Ten-month-old siblings Perry and Pebbles are as cute as can be. Sweet Pebbles is just 20 pounds and should stay on the small side; happy-go-lucky big brother Perry is 26 pounds. These two cuties are full of wags and wiggles and ready to graduate from the shelter to new best friend.
Handsome Shepherd mix Lincoln is just 5 months old, but already 35 pounds. The shelter can be a bit overwhelming, and Lincoln is a shy guy. He will need a home that will allow him to grow and gain his confidence.
These pups will all need a patient and diligent home that will train them to be their best puppy selves.
Want to adopt? Please call 910-937-1164 to schedule a meet and greet. All adoptions are by appointment and are first come, first serve. Any questions? Staff will be happy to help. Just give us a call!
Thank you all for thinking of our pups on National Dog Day!

*** Happy Tails – OCAS Alumni Update ***
Our handsome boy Zeus finally found his happily ever after!
Zeus was originally brought to OCAS because he “wasn’t trainable,” but he was just a young, silly boy in need of some extra time and patience. Many dogs like Zeus end up at shelters, not because they have done something wrong but because their humans were not prepared for the responsibility of a pet. If you are thinking of welcoming a new pet into your family, please do your research. Please make sure that you have the time, money, patience, and love to provide a forever home for your new pet.
Now that he has found his perfect family, Zeus is a happy, playful boy that loves snuggles and car rides for pup cups. And now Zeus is starting a brand-new adventure and is on his way to Tennessee! We are thrilled to hear that Zeus is doing so well and we are so grateful to his family for giving him a second chance.

Meet Princess Atta. This fun and feisty cutie is available for adoption today at noon. Atta came to us as a tiny baby at the end of September - too tiny to be spayed and placed for adoption. So we sent Atta to stay with another of our wonderful foster families so that she could grow in the security of a loving home. We are so grateful to our fosters for all that they do! To view all of our adoptable feline friends, please visit our website: https://www.onslowcountync.gov/188/Adoptable-Cats To schedule an appointment to meet Princess Atta or any of our adoptable animals, please call 910-937-1164.

It was a very good week last week!
Three legs, no problem! Our happy-go-lucky girl Athena doesn’t let anything slow her down. Athena is an affectionate, sweet-natured pup. She loves playing fetch, behind-the-ear scratches, belly rubs and soaking up all the love. Athena does well on a lead, enjoys time in the yard and is an all around good girl. She has been around young children and dogs previously, but would prefer a home with no cats. Athena is a 5 year old Pittie mix, is 60 pounds and has tested heartworm negative.
Our library kitties! Come meet them (and adopt!) at the Swansboro Branch Library until 2! All adult cats (age one and up), are just $50 today! That’s half the regular adoption fee!
Our girl Ruby is hoping you run on down to OCAS (but make sure you have an appointment) to meet her! Ruby has been waiting so patiently for weeks and no one is coming to see her. Ruby is a happy-go lucky, curious hound who loves to play and explore in the yard. It’s so hard for a pup who loves to run free to be cooped up in the kennels for so long (special thanks to our kennel staff for making sure she gets exercise time). Ruby is a great girl. Unfortunately, her previous family did not make sure that she took monthly heartworm preventative. Heartworm prevention is less than $10 a month and is vital here in NC. Now Ruby has tested positive for heartworms and needs a special family who can help her back to a happy, healthy heart. This is of course an extra responsibility, and some members of our community have sponsored her adopt fee so that her new family can put that cost towards getting her healthy. We have two heartworm positive hounds, Ruby & Stella who would love to find a family today. If you are looking for a quirky, playful, affectionate canine companion, please call 920-937-1164.
Good morning from Chloe (and OCAS alumni and fantastic foster sibling Evee)! Chloe loves being around other dogs. She would love a family where she can join the pack and have lots of playmates. A big, fenced yard to run would be great too!
We’re ready to make some adoptions happen today and Stevenson Hendrick Toyota wants to see every adoptable animal find a home. They are sponsoring all adoptions today! Our sweet “Hamilton kittens” and several other terrific animals are waiting to meet their new best friend. View all of our adoptable friends on our website: http://www.onslowcountync.gov/186/Animals and make an appointment by calling 910-937-1164. Don't delay; appointments are filling up fast!
