When you choose to adopt, you’re not just bringing home a
pet — you’re changing a life right here in our own community!
Every day at the Scotland County Humane Society, we’re surrounded by wagging tails, hopeful eyes, and moments that remind us why second chances matter. When you choose to adopt, you’re not just bringing home a pet... you’re transforming a life right here in our own community. From shy cats who finally learn to trust to energetic pups who just want someone to love, each adoption creates a ripple of kindness throughout Laurinburg.
Here are the top five reasons to adopt a shelter pet — and why each one makes Laurinburg an even better, brighter place to live.

You’re Saving a Life
Each adoption opens up space for another animal in need. Many of our cats and dogs were once lost, abandoned, or surrendered through no fault of their own. When you adopt, you give them the chance to start over with love, comfort, and security. Every adoption means one less homeless animal in Scotland County — and that makes a big difference.

Shelter Pets Are Ready to Love
All of our animals receive health checkups, vaccinations, spay/neuter surgery, and daily care from our dedicated staff and volunteers. From energetic puppies to gentle senior cats, our shelter pets are full of affection and personality. They’re ready to become part of your family — they just need someone like you to see them.

You’ll Get a Loyal Companion
There’s something extra special about a rescue pet’s love. They seem to understand they’ve been given a second chance — and they never stop showing gratitude.
Just ask the Bonds family, who adopted “Chewy,” a sweet playful pup who was looking for a family to give endless hugs and kisses to. One day, Mr. Bonds and his son came to the shelter looking to adopt and after seeing Chewy, decided he was the one for them. "Chewy is doing great and has brought so much joy to all of my family... he has done so much for us as we have for him. He is loved so much by all of us." That’s the power of adoption.

It’s Good for the Community
When you adopt from the Scotland County Humane Society, you’re helping reduce the number of stray animals in Laurinburg and surrounding areas. You’re also supporting responsible pet ownership and showing others that adoption is a loving, local solution. Every adoption strengthens our community — one wag or purr at a time.

You’ll Gain More Than a Pet — You’ll Gain Joy
Adopting isn’t just about giving an animal a home — it’s about bringing happiness into your own. Shelter pets remind us of what really matters: love, laughter, and loyalty. They make every day brighter, and in return, you’ll know you made a difference that lasts a lifetime.
