# The shelters and rescues in this list

The 108 North Carolina shelters and 240 rescues whose adoption lists we read every day, with how many pets each one lists and when we last checked.

[Back to the adoptable pets](https://ncpetproject.org/adopt/)

Every listing links back to its own shelter or rescue. To have your listings removed or corrected, email [info@ncpetproject.org](mailto:info@ncpetproject.org) ([how listings work](https://ncpetproject.org/adopt/how-it-works/#listings-and-removal)). Logos belong to their organizations and are shown to identify them; ask us and we’ll remove one.
