N.C. Non-Profit Animal Rescue
Give a Freedom RideIn the rescue world, a āFreedom Rideā 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 ā¦. 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 fostersā homes; who stay up late searching shelter pages for that next āFreedom Rideā 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 areĀ 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 ā¦. 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 ā often never looking backĀ āĀ as they start their most lifeās 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!

MEDICAL UPDATES on Niva and Crumbles who will BOTH be at our "Woof You Be MINE" event Saturday at Clouds in Raleigh from 2 - 5 pm (www.facebook.com/events/2157438275012369)
First: little Niva got a clean bill of health yesterday from @fallsvillage.vethospital! She had a horrible reaction to her heartworm treatment. We weren't sure she'd survive - and an amazing vet assistant (and FRR rock star), Julie Pellicore, took her back and forth from work to home at the start to give her around the clock care, meds and fluids. Once she began to turn the corner, we were still INCREDIBLY worried she'd have long-term issues with her kidneys. Thank you Falls, Julie and her incredible fosters, Kristy and Brian Kelderman, for the dedication and commitment to keeping this little 3.5 year-old in this world. She's now available for adoption!!!
Second is our tiny little Crumble. This adorable 2-year-old spent her entire life outside in the elements. When we got her, she was covered in sores with major infections (skin, ear, eyes ...) She was also emaciated. It's been a slow road, but with a lot of creativity from Falls Village Vet and Julie have her looking and feeling great!! Today her testing went well, and she also got a great report card ... so she is looking forward to her debut event Saturday!!
So come get your pet's photo taken, buy a couple of raffle tickets and have a cold beer at Clouds Taproom! All money raised help us be able to help dogs like Niva and Crumbles!!

š FRR Alum Miller is the definition of a foster fail turned happily-ever-after!
ššŗTo think that he was found living in a deep holeā¦ and now? Miller is absolutely living the dream. His nickname stuck from when he was skinny, so of course he rocks a Miller Lite collar that proudly says āItās Miller Timeā ā iconic.
š¾ This handsome boy is officially a Pit Pei with DNA results showing 50% Shar Pei, 42% Pit Bull, and 8% Boxer ā the perfect mix of wrinkles, muscles, and charm. šŖš
šMiller has grown so much and experienced more love than he ever knew was possible in the past year!
š He has made lots of new friends at daycare, moved into a new home with a big backyard and plenty of deer to bark at š¦š”, tried his very first pup cup š§, supervised construction projects like the responsible guy he is š·āāļø, enjoyed countless cozy naps š¤, hosted his cousins š¶, and even had his very own Christmas stocking šš§¦.
šFrom a hole in the ground to a heart full of love, Millerās journey is nothing short of amazing!
š We absolutely love hearing about how our alumni are doing! Want to see your alum featured? Share their photos and stories on our alumni pageāyou could be our next spotlight!
Captain is clearly very busy perfecting the art of relaxation. From his comfy couch command center, heās proving that productivity looks a lot like naps, snacks, and being irresistibly cute.
Think youāve got room on your couch (and in your heart) for this hardworking guy? Captain is ready to report for full-time snuggles. šš¶
