Promoting Animal Welfare IN North Carolina

Promoting Animal Welfare in North Carolina (PAWNC) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Rocky Mount dedicated to reducing euthanasia rates for homeless cats and dogs. Working in close partnership with the Nash County Animal Shelter and local rescues, PAWNC funds critical veterinary care and supports spay/neuter initiatives across Nash County. Their efforts ensure companion animals, including vulnerable felines, receive life-saving medical treatment and a second chance at adoption.

Adopting

Fees, requirements & process

Varies by partnering shelter/rescue

Requirements

Adopters must meet the adoption criteria of the partnered shelter or rescue holding the animal, typically requiring an approved application, identification, and a safe home environment.

How it works

PAWNC primarily operates as a medical and advocacy support charity rather than a brick-and-mortar adoption center; prospective adopters are connected to shelter and rescue partners like the Nash County Animal Shelter where pets are housed.

Surrendering a cat

PAWNC does not operate a direct-intake physical surrender facility; owner surrenders and strays in the service area are typically handled via county animal control facilities such as the Nash County Animal Shelter.
