Nash County Animal Friends is not a rescue group. We are an animal advocate group for Nash County pets. Our mantra is Spay and Neuter. Our focus is to work on reducing the pet overpopulation problem by spay/neutering, in an effort to keep the pets out of the shelter. Also to increase the pet adoptions by individuals and rescues by other groups (from the Nash County Animal Shelter). Adoptions are best, but that is secondary to stopping the cycle of unwanted babies.
AgCarolina Financial recently awarded over $30,000 to 15 organizations in eastern North Carolina as part of their corporate-giving program, the Fund for Rural North Carolina. The grants will help the recipients carry out programs that specifically benefit farmers and rural residents in eastern North Carolina where the Association conducts business.
