Donations and Help for Animals:

Edgecombe-Nash Humane Society
Has been busy rescuing the many animals that were abandoned when their owners were forced from their homes. They have MANY dogs and cats that were rescued from flooded areas and will hold all the animals they have for 30 days, and then we have to start finding them new homes because they have nowhere to board all of them. They WILL NOT DESTROY ANY OF THE RESCUED PETS, but cannot keep them indefinitely.
