Clark’s story isn’t all rainbows and unicorns, as much as his handsome face might lead you to believe. Before coming to the shelter, he was locked in an abandoned building, left to starve. His play pal and best friend who was found with him was too far gone… Clark stayed strong even through his loss, and now he is up for adoption, waiting for his next miracle. Despite his abandonment, he stays loyal and sweet.
Hounds are pretty common in this area, but Clark has a very unique look.
He’s gorgeous now, but think of how amazing he’ll look with a few more pounds!
Clark needs a home this Christmas. Someone to keep him company. Someone to reinforce his faith in people.
If you think he’d be right for you, come by the Pitt County Animal Shelter to see him! As always, out of state adoptions are welcome.
Although it might seem that this blog has gone to the dogs (pun slightly intended), there are so many other kinds of animals that are in need of homes. Here at PCAS, it’s all cats and dogs, but if you’re looking for a small fluffy bunny, cute little hamster… etcetera, etcetera… seriously consider adoption versus a pet store. You’ll save a life AND save money. It’s a win win for all!
But back to PCAS. I see dozens of dogs going in and out of the shelter, finding their deserving, loving homes, but less often you hear about the happy endings of the cats. Neither species is less important than the other, but sometimes it just feels like we put more of our efforts into the dogs, because they’re more affectionate (which is a complete myth) or they’re more “in demand”. I don’t want it to seem that way at all though. Everyone that donates their time and energy — or money — is here for one reason: to help these animals. That’s our missions, regardless of species. So, without further ado, here are some of the shelter cats that are just as loving, sweet, and personality filled as any other pet can be!
All of these dandy felines are available for adoption and need a home for the holidays!
a BIG thank you to those that have been reblogging and sharing. the shelter is in the process of contacting the rescues that replied to our posts. the puppies have been taken off the euthanasia list and are awaiting a decision on which rescue will give them their new homes. thank you again everyone! we couldn’t have done it without you.
This is a little female puppy that I came across while at the shelter Thursday. She has microopthalia, meaning her eyes are small and didn’t develop properly. She is completely blind and deaf. Because of her disabilities she does not have the time that a “healthier” dog would. Her last day is this Saturday (December 3rd), unless we can find a foster, home, or rescue to take her. She is honestly the sweetest thing! She loves being touched and held and is very playful. She also has a brother that has a less severe case of mircoopthalmia, but is still partially blind and deaf. His pupils are, for the most part, fixed, so he isn’t able to accommodate to lighting well. He can see shadows and light, but he’s not able to interpret objects or faces. He is friendly and calm, but would need socialization work and definitely better nutrition. Like his sister, he is also in danger of being pts.

PLEASE HELP REBLOG & SHARE!
URGENT!
One of these white puppies (3rd one) has a genetic eye condition, making it nearly impossible for it to see. Due to these health issues, its last day will be this Saturday, Dec. 3rd. I will be evaluating the pup in the morning to get more information on it and I will post it as soon as I can. This poor baby deserves to see its first Christmas, and I want to do everything I can to give it that chance. Please share, reblog, and do everything you can to help bring awareness. We don’t have much time.
If you are/know of a rescue group that would be interested in helping us out with this special case, or if you’re experienced in handling blind or disabled pets, please contact Pitt County Animal Shelter in Greenville, NC. [Out of state adoptions included!]

Today I bring you the story of Mica.
When Mica first arrived at the shelter, she was still nursing puppies. All of her babies have now left her to go to their forever homes, but sweet Mica is still looking for hers.
There’s no tell what this girl has gone through, but despite it all she remains a total lovebug.
In a yard full of toys, she’d rather stick by your side and wait for belly scratches to be doled out.
What a ham :)
loy·al
Mica fits the definition to a T.
Don’t make this a lost opportunity. Come visit her at the shelter! She’ll share her heart with you and you can share your home with her.
Update: Now adopted! Dec. 3, 2011
This happy, ball crazed boy is Rover.
Red Rover, Red Rover, bring… Rover over.
Not only does he have style, he has class! He crosses his paws like a little gentleman.
If your dream man has a gorgeous smile, a great personality and manners, why not settle for a dog with those qualities?
Rover has been at the shelter the longest (after Doogie) and it’s time that he find his perfect match.
Pictures simply don’t do him justice. His charming good looks (just look at that red coat!) and gorgeous brown eyes could melt the coldest of hearts.
He has too much love to give and so much life in him. He shouldn’t be stuck in a shelter.
And just for good measure, I’ll leave you with one more of his infamous smiles to win you over.
Update: Adopted!
Does this girl really need an introductory? I mean, the cuteness speaks for itself.
Hyde was a natural for the camera. In between shots, she even mastered “sit”!
There’s no doubt in my mind that with a little time and training, she’d have a long list of tricks to add to her resume.
But you can go ahead and add “bat ears” to it.
Hyde knows how to have a good time!
She has a lot of confidence packed into that little body. She conquered the A-frame that most fully grown dogs won’t even touch.
Like I said, she’s a natural :)
Update: Now adopted!
Barret—or as I like to call him, Bear—is never short on smiles.
When I first met Barret, he was shy and scared, but understandably so.
Since then he has taken big steps to come out of his shell, and now he’s happy to just sit outside, enjoying the sun and company.
What won me over from the start was his curling, fringed tail. Check it out for yourself!
Contrary to his Rottweiler inspired handsomeness, he’s rather petite. If you’ve ever wanted a travel sized “big” dog, he’s your match!
Barret needs someone who is understanding and patient, but most of all he needs you.
