Our mission is to ensure that all animals are treated with compassion and respect, and to end euthanasia as a means of controlling pet overpopulation in our community.
We are not part of Moore County Government or animal control. We receive no government support of any kind or funding from any organization. Private donations are our only source of income and our ability to rescue homeless animals in need depends entirely on the compassion and generosity of our members. Your support will help us save the lives of and find homes for Moore animals!

Moore Humane Society is a private, nonprofit organization incorporated in 1966. We are the founders of animal welfare in the Sandhills. Moore Humane Society operates the only privately funded, state licensed animal shelter in Moore County and practices "no-kill" philosophies.
Additional adoption info
An adoption application can be completed by anyone interested in adopting a cat or dog. All adoption applications will be reviewed by a Moore Humane Society staff member for approval purposes. An approved application is required prior to completing an adoption contract. The adoption contract is your commitment as a pet adopter that you will care for your new pet based on standards set forth by the Humane Society.
As stated in our Shelter Policies, adoption applications are not necessarily approved on a first come, first served basis. Our goal is to find the right family for the right animal, and the right animal for the right family. Therefore, we reserve the right to approve applications that appear to be the best fit for both the adopter and the adoptee. Furthermore, we reserve the right to
deny an applicant whom we feel has falsified their application, or who is not able to properly care for an animal based on our standards. We understand our standards may not be in agreement with others.
The adoption fee is $75.00 and includes spay/neuter, distemper vaccination, rabies vaccination and de-worming.
