LEGACY PAWS RESCUE

Dog rescue in CATAWABA, NC

Legacy Paws Rescue is more than just a safe haven for dogs—it's a dream brought to life, built on love, compassion, and a mission to create lasting change. Nestled on a beautiful 5-acre property, our facility provides rescued dogs with the care, comfort, and rehabilitation they need while they wait for their forever homes. With indoor and outdoor spaces designed to enrich their lives, every dog in our care gets the second chance they deserve.

But the vision doesn’t stop at rescue and adoption. Our ultimate goal is to create a self-sustaining sanctuary supported by a private dog park, fostering a deeper connection between people and animals. As we grow, we plan to expand into a larger property that will not only provide homes for rescue dogs but also serve as a center for fostering community and education. Programs will include teaching kids practical skills, offering non-judgmental recreation spaces, and partnering with aged-out foster youth to help them find purpose by caring for animals in need.

From humble beginnings to a life-changing mission, Legacy Paws Rescue is about leaving a lasting legacy of hope, kindness, and second chances—for both animals and people. Together, we can create a brighter future, one paw at a time.
