Who we are Friends of the Pitt County Animal Shelter, better known as Pitt Friends, is a non-profit group that was set up to help the animals at the high kill shelter in Pitt County. We help with many things at the shelter and we also have foster homes that pull animals from the shelter to keep them until good homes are found. We are a very small group and can always use volunteers! / Please note that Pitt Friends does not have a central location.  We are comprised of individual foster homes.  Given the amount of dogs/cats that come into the shelter on a daily basis, we are unable to pull directly from the public.  Our Mission Adoption Fair Pitt Friends is almost always out at Petco on the weekends. Saturday from 11:00 to 4:00 and most Sunday's from 2:00 to 5:00. We take dogs and cats from our foster program as well as dogs and cats from the Pitt County Animal Shelter.  So come out and visit us at Petco in Greenville, NC. The dogs and cats would love to see you! Animals get as much time as possible before being put to sleep but unfortunately it still isn't enough for most of them.
