The Craven Pamlico Animal Service Center in New Bern, NC is dedicated to bringing animals and people together through their pet adoption program, offering a variety of dogs, cats, and small animals for adoption. They emphasize the importance of responsible pet ownership, providing a visiting room for potential adopters to interact with the animals and make informed decisions based on their lifestyle and expectations. With a focus on animal welfare, the center ensures that all adopted dogs and cats receive a rabies vaccination and are spayed or neutered within a specified timeframe. Adoption fees include the necessary vaccinations and spay/neuter procedures, or a voucher to cover a portion of the cost. Their knowledgeable staff aims to match each adopter with the most suitable pet, considering personality traits and individual needs.Generated from the website
