We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to the welfare of animals in eastern NC. Our mission is to help provide affordable veterinary care, including spay and neuter, for pet owners in Carteret County and surrounding counties. In addition to helping pet owners, we also help find forever homes for homeless animals in eastern NC. Our board members are made up of a diverse group of animal lovers committed to the health and welfare of animals. We are a volunteer based organization working in our time off from our "real" jobs to help animals in need. Our current veterinarians are Dr. Sara Austin, Dr. Sam Schmitt, and Dr. Melita Nowlan of Austin Veterinary Animal Hospital. Dr. Austin graduated from NCSU in 2010 and has worked in rescue and low cost spay/neuter since 2012. She has dedicated her life and passion to "those in need". Dr. Sam joined Austin Veterinary in 2015 and has quickly jumped on board with the mission. Both veterinarians are highly skilled at surgery and will provide top notch care for your pets. Dr. Nowlan joined Austin Veterinary in and has assisted us in our low cost vaccination clinic. AVOR was formed in April 2015 to develop a rescue-adoption-spay/neuter program for cats and dogs in association with Austin Veterinary. AVOR has rescued and found homes for hundreds of cats and dogs.
