New Hanover County Sheriff's Office Animal Services Unit
Our Mission
The New Hanover County Sheriff’s Office Animal Services Unit is dedicated to protecting our community through public health education and ensuring the highest standards of care for all animals.
Serving Our Community
As a vital unit of the Sheriff’s Office, we take pride in enforcing state laws and county health regulations to keep both citizens and pets safe. By emphasizing prevention and professional education, we strive to create a healthier environment for all animals and residents across New Hanover County.
Providing Exceptional Care
Our shelter at 180 Division Drive is a place of care and transition where every animal receives routine vaccinations, deworming, and spay or neuter services prior to adoption. We operate with a deep commitment to animal welfare, ensuring that every pet in our care is prepared for their journey into a new family.
Finding Your Perfect Companion
We believe in building lifelong, joyful partnerships between our animals and their future owners. Our team works hard to provide the best possible matches, and we encourage you to carefully consider the long-term responsibility of pet ownership so you can provide a stable and loving home for many years to come.
