Thank you for your desire to donate to our cause! Our mailing address is:
Outer Banks SPCA
PO Box 2477
Manteo, NC 27954

There are various ways you can donate to the OBX SPCA. You can make a cash donation when you visit the animals at the shelter or at an event, you can call our main number (252-475-5620) and make a donation over the phone with a credit or debit card, you can donate via the Venmo app – our handle is @OuterBanksSPCA, you can donate with a cashier’s check from your bank, or you can donate with your credit or debit via our website.

All donations made to the Outer Banks SPCA support saving the lives of hundreds of animals each year that come into our care. Unless you’ve designated where you’d like your funds to be used, your monetary donation will be used where it is needed the most, whether that is covering a portion of heart worm treatment, providing food and medicines for the animals, or helping to cover emergency surgeries that arise. Every donation is critical to our continued success as an organization.

If you are mailing a check, just indicate in the memo section how you’d like us to use your gift or attach a letter describing how you would like your donation to be used. If you’re donating over the phone, let our staff member know where to direct your gift. If you’re donating online, please select from the drop-down menu to select your designation. If you do not care to specify where your gift is used, please select “General Donations.” If you are unsure how to designate your donation, please contact us at 252-475-5620 or spca@darenc.org.

Many philanthropic employers understand the importance of giving and supporting their employees in how they want to impact their community. Because of this, many employers offer a matching incentive and will sometimes double, or triple, your donation! Many of these businesses and companies make it easy to give to organizations their employees support by helping to set up a seamless transaction each pay period. Talk with your HR department to discuss how you can schedule a set amount to automatically donate to the Outer Banks SPCA, and if they will match it.

We love and need in-kind items such as household items like used sheets, blankets, towels, wash cloths, pillowcases, dog beds, etc. You can bring these items to our shelter in Manteo. Our physical address is 378 Airport Road, Manteo, NC 27954. You can also drop off items at PetSmart in Nags Head or at Jack Brown’s Beer & Burger Joint in Kill Devil Hills. We also have an Amazon Wishlist, here, that you can order from and have items delivered directly to our door. If you would like to host a donation drive or have a question about items we can use, please contact us at spca@darenc.com.

We are grateful for your donation! However, there are some items that we cannot use because of our sanitation standards. Examples of these items include pillows, mattresses, carpeted stairs, or carpeted scratching posts or cat trees. We’d love to use these items, but there is no way for us to sterilize them after use. Please check out other local non-profits that could benefit from these items.

Donated in-kind supplies are vital to our success in caring for our residents. Please do refer to our Wish List (located to the left of this FAQ section) of items that we use most frequently. Our needs do change slightly depending on the season, but our Wish List remains updated. If you have a question or are unsure about whether we can use an item you’d like to donate, please give us a call 252-475-5620.
