New Hanover Animal Control hosts second Love a Pet Fair

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — The New Hanover County Government Center went to the dogs today. New Hanover County Animal Control hosted its second annual Love a Pet Fair today.

Vendors and pet lovers met to discuss their furriest family members. There were items to spoil your pet in every way imaginable, and Netop the painting dog showed off his skills.

Animal Control Officer Stephen Watson says he hopes folks realize how important taking good care of pets is.

“There are many resources in the area, so it’s a matter of being aware of the different resources in the area to learn how to properly care for an animal, which means providing adequate food, water and shelter and attention,” Watson said.

If you were not able to make your way to the fair today, Animal Control and the Humane Society are always looking for “furever” homes for their dogs and cats.
