Rescue FAQs

We rescue dogs from high kill shelters on their last adoptable day, often minutes before being killed. Most of the dogs in our program have been rescued from shelters in rural North Carolina. We do not rescue a specific breed of dog, and believe all dogs deserve a wonderful loving home. Once a dog comes into the rescue, they are taken to the vet for vaccinations, they are neutered or spayed and receive a heartworm test. If positive, our rescue raises money for the costly heartworm treatments and takes care of that before they are adopted. Our dogs live in foster home until they are adopted and are mainly located in North Carolina. We have had many successful adoptions in NC, SC and VA and have transported as far as Colorado and Minnesota so distance is not an issue!
We will transport to any state with an approved application. However we are typically serve the North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and South Carolina areas.

Additional adoption info

Adoption application, phone or face-to-face interview, reference checks and home visit required. Contract at the time of adoption. All puppies and adult dogs are spayed/neutered, UTD on shots, HW tested and microchipped prior to adoption. 100% of all fees go back into the rescue to rescue and vet additional dogs.
