Animal Shelters in Wilmington, NC
Wilmington has 10 listed animal shelters and rescue organizations, in New Hanover County. About half are rescue organizations. The nearest other city with listings is Castle Hayne, about five miles away. Somewhere on this list is a Wilmington dog or cat who would much rather be at your place.
Wilmington has 10 listed at the moment, and they are shown above with the ones that have photos first. Open any of them for the full address, contact details and opening hours.
A mix of both, and the difference is worth knowing before you set out. A rescue usually places animals from a network of foster homes rather than from premises you can walk into, so you generally arrange a meeting first. A shelter or humane society more often has a facility you can visit during opening hours.
The Wilmington listings all fall in New Hanover County, which is worth knowing if you are checking whether a shelter takes animals from your area.
If nothing here suits, Castle Hayne, Winnabow and Rocky Point all have listings within about 15 miles. Each one links through from the sidebar.
Most listings here carry a phone number, and most link to the organization's own website. Calling ahead is worth it — opening hours change, and rescues often work by appointment rather than keeping a building open.
