The Humane Society of Eastern Carolina's mission is to provide a safe haven for homeless and neglected pets until they find their forever home and to serve as a resource for the community.

We are dedicated to rescuing dogs from kill shelters, substandard backyard breeders, hoarders, and those living in chains. Our commitment extends beyond rescue; we provide comprehensive medical care, foster homes, and transportation by land and air. We serve qualified adopters across the East Coast to ensure that our rescues find loving forever homes.

Our mission is to serve the community by accepting unadoptable and special needs animals and hiring ex-convicts and felons to build promising and prosperous futures. We are the ranch of second chances.
