Outer Banks SPCA

The Dare County Animal Shelter is staffed and run by the Outer Banks SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt, non-profit organization. The Dare County Animal Shelter has been helping animals in need in the Outer Banks region since 1978. The wellbeing of all animals, whether domestic, stray, or wild, is a priority for the refuge. The Outer Banks SPCA serves as a community resource for dogs and people who assist homeless and abandoned animals throughout our County as the sole animal shelter in Dare County.
