Are they truly an animal hospital? Isn't it their responsibility to care for dying, suffering…read moreanimals? How can a practice use the word "hospital" if it cannot provide urgent, end-of-life care to a long-standing patient? My 17-year-old dog had been a patient at Brunswick Animal Hospital for most of her life. Over the years, I entrusted them with her care and spent a significant amount of money there without hesitation, believing we had a relationship built on trust and continuity. When she began actively dying and was clearly in distress, I called expecting urgency, guidance, and compassion. Instead, I was told they could not fit her in. I was informed I could come as a walk-in but would likely sit in the waiting room for hours. I was then referred to an emergency veterinary clinic nearly an hour away, essentially told to take my suffering senior dog elsewhere. The interaction felt cold and dismissive, completely lacking the compassion you would expect in such a devastating moment. This is the same practice where I have previously waited well beyond scheduled appointment times because emergencies and euthanasias were prioritized. I accepted that without complaint because that is what hospitals do, they respond to urgent need. What is heartbreaking is that when my own loyal, long-term patient required that same urgency at the end of her life, there was no accommodation, no sense of responsibility, and no empathy. Being told to wait for hours or drive an hour away while your 17-year-old dog is actively dying is not just inconvenient, it is profoundly painful. I will never return to this practice and would never recommend it to anyone. When it mattered most, they were cold and they were not there.

We found a bird washed up on the beach that was in bad shape and we called this shelter for help…read moresince we had no idea what to do. She talked us through it and helped us take care of the poor bird until we could bring it to her. Once there the bird sadly passed away on the trip over due to being underfed and really under weight (it's supposed to weight 900g but was only at 300g). She then told us all about the bird and showed us around the other birds in critical care that she was taking care of. She knows what she's doing and is doing an amazing job taking care of all these unfortunate birds.

They take quite some time to respond, sometimes days. If it's an emergency, I advise to go to Academy Hospital or Coastal Vet Clinic. You will receive a text where you can contact them. Make sure to bring a proof of rabies certification on your first visit otherwise, they will make your dog get another shot at their clinic for $15.

This shelter is ATROCIOUS the 3 and 1/2 month old puppy my spouse and I adopted a week ago now…read moreneeds an expensive surgery so he can use his leg and be a normal puppy. This is due to this shelter's neglect. A puppy with a fractured/ broken leg isn't cared for properly and isn't noticed? I don't believe that the shelter did not inform us before adoption we found out from a vet after he started whining and not using his leg and we got x rays. The vet told us how his leg was very improperly healed from a 3-4 week old fracture/ break that was never treated. That time frame is when the shelter had him and they did nothing. They had no knowledge I'm not sure how they didn't when they neutered him and did that surgery. Just by feeling his leg you could feel the difference this poor puppy now needs an invasive surgery and they are doing nothing and won't help. All they said was they would take him and give us back the adoption fee. That is horrendous. Why would we give him back when their neglect caused this. They had no remorse and offered no financial help or emotional care. Do not trust those people.

To ensure that our puppies get the best start in life we genetically test all of our F1b Aussiedoodle parents and only pair those whose profiles are clear of genetic disease.

Visitors are welcome by appointment after the puppies reach six weeks of age and have their first set of vaccinations. Call today and let me help you find your next best friend.

Compassion at the humane society is a standard however not at the New hanover humane society nor is…read morethere professionalism or eagerness to find a solution to problems that should've been found during a through medical assessment/vetting process which they stated had been done and sent us home with papers stating the same. On November 20th I adopted a "healthy" cat as stated per staff and medical records given at the time of the adoption, I was weary to adopt from there due to the dog kennels being closed for kennel cough, I went against my intuition and better judgment and adopted my cat at a price of 125 dollars. Within 2 day my cat had progressively gotten a cough and respiratory issues tried to call however due to holidays they were closed, on the 24th when vets opened again I reached out to our private vet and was told he had a upper respiratory infection and 3 rotting teeth. Called the humane society when they reopened to see what could be done and to let them know there must have been some sort of cross contamination between the dogs and cats, they were not willing to do any kind of reimbursement for out of pocket vet fees or take responsibility that I got a sick cat with dental problems from them, instead they said " you can surrender him back to us" that was there solution to a new pet adoption. Growing up my family has always adopted from Guilford, Yancey, Forsyth county shelters and a variety of rescues and with dealing with all of these we have never been treated with these types of unprofessional staff or substandard practices. Be very cautious about bring home a pet from this particular shelter or donating money to an organization that misappropriates your money.
