About this shelter

Martin County Animal Shelter in Williamston, NC

Martin County Animal Shelter is located in Williamston, North Carolina, about 80 miles northeast of Chesapeake, VA, and welcomes visitors Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM–12:00 PM and 1:00–4:00 PM to consider pets for adoption. The shelter operates under the county's Animal Enforcement Division and encourages prospective adopters to think carefully about housing rules, local animal control laws, allergies, lifestyle, and long-term financial and emotional commitment before bringing home a new pet. It also partners with Moratoc Animal Rescue, which holds regular adoption clinics to help place animals in homes. Older pets are highlighted as a good option for adopters, often noted as calmer and already housebroken.
