📆 Starting Tuesday, Sept. 29, the Beaufort County NC Animal Shelter will switch to appointment-based visits on Tuesdays and Thursdays. On those days, all public visits - including adoptions and owner surrenders - will be by appointment only. We will not accommodate unscheduled walk-in visits.

The Shelter will still be open for unscheduled walk-in visits on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 1-5 p.m. Appointments are also available on Saturdays.

📋 This adjustment addresses current staffing challenges, allowing Shelter staff to maintain quality care for on-site animals while giving officers the necessary time to handle field follow-ups.

📱To report a dangerous or injured animal during business hours, call 252-946-4517. After business hours, call 911. PLEASE CALL BEFORE BRINGING AN ANIMAL TO THE SHELTER. Owner surrenders and stray drop-offs may be declined when space is not available.

🐾 The Shelter's address is 3931 Hwy. 264 E., Washington, N.C. Adopt, volunteer or donate if you can.
