Outer Banks SPCA History & Mission

The Outer Banks SPCA was founded in 1988 by concerned local citizens to address unmet community needs for animal care & control. The Outer Banks SPCA is a private non-profit organization that relies on donations and volunteer efforts to support its rescue work.

The mission of the Outer Banks Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals is "to provide protection and care for the animals and promote a humane community in the Outer Banks for residents and visitors." To pursue this mission the Outer Banks SPCA operates the Dare County Animal Shelter that:

provides shelter and compassionate care to homeless animals,

reunites lost pets with their owners,

assists in the adoption of domestic animals in good health and temperament
into suitable homes,

relocates healthy, native wildlife to their natural habitat,

provides humane euthanasia when necessary

enforces the laws pertaining to the regulation and humane keeping of animals

The Outer Banks SPCA conducts community awareness and public education programs about animal welfare issues and responsible pet ownership and stewardship.
