N.C. Non-Profit Animal Rescue
Give a Freedom RideIn the rescue world, a โFreedom Rideโ is that magical car ride out of an animal shelter for a dog. At first they are nervous, but there is a moment when they realize they are safe โฆ. tongue out, tail wagging, a new chapter for them.
About Us
About Our N.C. Rescue
We are proud to be the crazy dog lovers who skip out on work to transport dogs from all over the state to their excited fostersโ homes; who stay up late searching shelter pages for that next โFreedom Rideโ potential; who spend countless hours making rescue a reality!
Freedom Ride Rescue brings together individuals who share a love for dogs and a dream to see a no-kill state. Our foster-based network is in the Raleigh/Clayton, NC, area. We bring in dogs of all ages, sizes and breed mixes. We help to rehabilitate these animals – providing security, love, medical, and behavioral training as needed – until they can be adopted to their “fur-ever” homes.
We areย foster based: we have no facility and every one of our adoptable (and not quite ready to be adopted) animals are in homes where families are teaching trust, love, basic manners โฆ. preparing your future dog ready to be the best addition to your family that he can be!
As fosters, we are willing to have our heart break after we love, rehabilitate and nurse an unwanted, unloved animal until they prance away with their fur-ever person โ often never looking backย โย as they start their most lifeโs wonderful chapter: the one as a cherished pet.
So join our road to making freedom rides happen! We are a wonderful, tight-knit family needing volunteers, fosters, donors – basically caring people willing to help in any way they can!

If youโre looking for a devoted shadow, a snuggle partner, and the sweetest sidekick you could ask forโฆ Peggy is your girl.
