SUMMARY: The growing demand for animal shelter resources in rural North Carolina is being addressed with the construction of a new 12,000-13,000 square foot shelter in Edgecomb County. The new facility will replace the current 2,500 square foot shelter, allowing it to house three to four times more animals. The shelter, which has been in planning for decades, will help meet the increased need due to the county’s growth and serve as a backup during natural disasters. The $4.9 million project has been supported by community fundraising and county contributions, with a ribbon-cutting planned for next year.

It’s been a community effort to raise funds for the shelter, and with some help from the county, the now $4.9 million dollar project is underway.
