Pet of The Week

Meet our newest Pet Of The Week, Lilyann!
Lilyann is a gorgeous, playful girl who is well-rounded and always happy. She's the perfect family dog. She enjoys the company of humans and other animals alike and is simply a joy to be around - just try not to smile when you see her! She's the perfect size, and full grown at about 2 years old. She's already spayed, current on all vaccines, microchipped, and will come with free pet insurance, a free vet visit, county registration, a lifetime of fun, and so much more. Meet Lilyann today!
Lilyann was transferred here from SPCA of Northeastern North Carolina when they had a large influx of dogs from a cruelty dogfighting case. She was not involved in the court case, but to help alleviate space and make room for those court case dogs, Lilyann and a few friends moved down here to our shelter. She's always willing to help in any way she can!
