Support Us

At the Humane Society of Eastern Carolina, there are numerous meaningful ways you can support our mission to care for animals in need. Whether you choose to make a one-time donation to provide immediate assistance, become a recurring donor to sustain our ongoing efforts, or contribute through planned giving to ensure a lasting impact, your generosity makes a difference. Additionally, donating goods such as pet food, blankets, or toys directly enriches the lives of our rescue animals. Every contribution, big or small, helps us continue our vital work of rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming animals throughout our community. Together, we can make a positive difference in the lives of our furry friends.

Ways to Make an Impact

Here are just a few ways YOU can help make a difference:

Donate

Volunteering your time is a rewarding - and free! - way to make a difference in the lives of animals. Whether you're walking dogs, socializing cats, or helping with administrative tasks, your efforts directly support our mission of compassion and care. We are always in need of volunteers for on- and off-site tasks such as events, laundry, administrative assistance, and more.

Your monetary donations to the make an immediate impact on the lives of animals in need. Every contribution supports vital services like medical care, food, shelter, toys and treats, cleaning supplies, and more. Donations can be made online, in person, or even set up to be recurring monthly. Did you know that some employers even match donations made by employees?

By opening your heart and home to a pet in need, you provide them with a second chance and a loving environment. Whether you're looking to foster temporarily or adopt permanently, you're giving an animal the opportunity to thrive and find happiness. Plus, every foster adoption saves TWO lives - the animal you take in and the one that it makes room for.

Spaying and neutering saves lives! By choosing to alter your pet, you're not only preventing unwanted litters but also promoting their health and happiness. It reduces the risk of certain cancers and behavioral problems, ensuring a longer, healthier life for your furry friend. Plus, you're helping to curb pet overpopulation and reduce the number of animals in shelters. 

Laundry detergent. Bleach. Paper towels. Poop bags. Dog treats. Cat toys. The list goes on and on. A great way to support HSEC is by picking up an extra item or two when you're doing your grocery shopping or browsing on Amazon. Drop your donation by the facility or ship it directly to our front door! Supplies are always needed and we are so thankful for every donation!
