N.C. Non-Profit Animal Rescue
Give a Freedom RideIn the rescue world, a âFreedom Rideâ 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 âŠ. 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 fostersâ homes; who stay up late searching shelter pages for that next âFreedom Rideâ 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 are 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 âŠ. 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 â often never looking back â as they start their most lifeâs 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!

TRUE EVIL....
Our Nehi is still on the run near Holly Springs Rd/Crowder Park. We've had an army of volunteers helping with signs.... everyone in the area knows about her. We have THREE feeding stations with cameras up - but haven't seen her yet at them.
The evil? susanlove.1@icloud.com has been texting our founder since 7 pm last night that she has Nehi - but refuses to send a photo and wants money. We are desperate but not stupid... if this is an AI bot or a truly horrible person - let's hope Karma is true. If anyone knows Susan Love - let her know how cruel her game is.
If you are kind and have actually seen Nehi in the area - please text/call 919-673-6338.
When looking to adopt a new furry friend, it's important to find the right one for you. Age can play a big part in that, to make sure your new pet fits into your schedule and lifestyle well. This week, we'll be highlighting all the currently adoptable dogs and puppies based on their age groups. We hope one of these dogs is perfect for you!
đŸđŸđŸđŸđŸđŸđŸđŸđŸđŸđŸđŸđŸđŸđŸđŸđŸđŸđŸđŸ
Warning: extreme cuteness ahead đš
We have a lot of young puppies right now (puppy season never ends for us). Here's the second half of our adorable, adoptable puppies!
Our youngest pups may be small, but their personalities are already shining bright! These tiny beans are full of wiggles, curiosity, and that irresistible puppy charm. Theyâre blank slates, ready to learn all the good dog things with their future families.
Yes, theyâll need training (and patience!), but in return, you get to shape your perfect best friend from the very beginning.

đš FOSTER NEEDED đšThis gorgeous young Golden Retriever was adopted just last week, but is already being returned through no fault of his own. His adopters shared that he has more energy than they expected and that their home with cats isnât the right fit for him. He appears to be a young, active boy who would thrive with a foster willing to give him structure, exercise, and a little patience as he settles in. Like many young Goldens, he just needs the right outlet for his energy and a committed home environment.
Freedom Ride Rescue covers all costs associated with his care â we just need you to provide a safe and loving foster home.
If you can help this sweet boy decompress and get the fresh start he deserves, please email jennifer@freedom-ride.org today!
đšđšPUPPY FOSTER NEEDED!!đšđš This sweet little girl was found with no collar and no chip. She is believed to be about 8 weeks old and we think sheâs some kind of doodle. Whatever she is, sheâs precious, and so sweet to boot! If you can help foster her please email jennifer@freedom-ride.org today!
Freedom Ride needs YOU!
If you`ve ever wanted to get involved, we`d love to have you! There are so many ways you can help our organization and we`d love to tell you about all of them so you can find something that fits what you have to give.
Are you the kind of person who loves talking to anyone and everyone? Do you have a talent for sales? We always need people at our events who can talk and "schmooze" with the public. Your job would be to talk up Freedom Ride and sometimes sell raffle tickets for cool prizes. If this seems like the perfect way for you to help out--apply to volunteer with us!
