Serious attitude problems with the staff. I have been several times over the past two years and they are nearly always unfriendly (sometimes they don't talk). I'm surprised they get to work with kittens all day and have the rudeness they do. They take one snobby look at you, up and down, and question your validity to adopt. Last time I tried, the dude questioned my age and how I was "too young" (I am an adult student), told me I didn't care enough, and how I would essentially leave the cat to die. No bother about my six previous cats and over 10 current healthy pets, and the fact I'm studying to become a vet. Do better, seriously. Jesus, sometimes you just wanna go see animals to feel better during hard times. At least the animals seem semi-healthy.

My family wanted to get a 2nd dog and visited the New Hanover Humane Society. The shelter had many dogs of all breeds, shapes and sizes available for adoption. Rebecca, a staff member, was extremely helpful in picking the right dog to get along with our cranky older female dog. Rebecca introduced us to the most wonderful dog. He is big and fuzzy and so calm and gentle. He gets along beautifully with our other dog. We love him so much and couldn't imagine a better dog for our family. I highly recommend this shelter to others seeking to add a pet to their lives.

Thank you so much New Hanover Humane Society! My son adopted Hazelnut (formerly Lydia) back in November. She is the absolute most sweetest dog, and she’s definitely one of a kind. She has transitioned well into our home, and we can tell she was well taken care of before she came to us. I definitely recommend New Hanover Humane Society, to anyone who is interested in adopting a pet.

Big Thanks for the Awesome Cats!Hey New Hanover Humane Society Team,Just wanted to drop you a line to say a massive THANK YOU for hooking me up with the coolest cats ever! Adopting Clyde and Miles from you guys when they were little kitties in 2019 has been the highlight of my life.Your crew made the whole process a breeze, and it's clear you care a ton about your furry residents. The vibes at the shelter are top-notch, and it definitely rubbed off on these two rockstars.Clyde and Miles are loving life. Their antics and cuddles are making my days a whole lot brighter. Kudos to you for making sure these furballs find awesome homes!You're not just finding homes for pets, you're making families. Keep rocking those pet matchmaking skills!Thank you so much for what you do!Andrew BairdFormer resident of Wilmington, NCCurrently living in Pennsylvania

We went there to set up a fundraiser for them and came home with a beautiful doggo. The facility is clean and well staffed. The animals in their care were well tended to.

Compassion at the humane society is a standard however not at the New hanover humane society nor is there professionalism or eagerness to find a solution to problems that should’ve been found during a through medical assessment/vetting process which they stated had been done and sent us home with papers stating the same. On November 20th I adopted a “healthy” cat as stated per staff and medical records given at the time of the adoption, I was weary to adopt from there due to the dog kennels being closed for kennel cough, I went against my intuition and better judgment and adopted my cat at a price of 125 dollars. Within 2 day my cat had progressively gotten a cough and respiratory issues tried to call however due to holidays they were closed, on the 24th when vets opened again I reached out to our private vet and was told he had a upper respiratory infection and 3 rotting teeth. Called the humane society when they reopened to see what could be done and to let them know there must have been some sort of cross contamination between the dogs and cats, they were not willing to do any kind of reimbursement for out of pocket vet fees or take responsibility that I got a sick cat with dental problems from them, instead they said “ you can surrender him back to us” that was there solution to a new pet adoption. Growing up my family has always adopted from Guilford, Yancey, Forsyth county shelters and a variety of rescues and with dealing with all of these we have never been treated with these types of unprofessional staff or substandard practices. Be very cautious about bring home a pet from this particular shelter or donating money to an organization that misappropriates your money.
