Sampson County Animal Shelter is an open admission county animal shelter. As such, animals entering our facility may be sick even though they are not showing symptoms. We recommend that your new pet see a veterinarian as soon as possible. We offer no guarantee of an animal's health, temperament or breed. ALL animals are ALWAYS urgent as we will up very fast. We euthanize when necessary for space rather than time.
Create an alert, and we'll notify you every time a new pet comes in who meets your criteria.
