Non-Profit Animal Rescue
Give a Freedom RideIn the rescue world, a “Freedom Ride” 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 …. tongue out, tail wagging, a new chapter for them.
About Us
About Our 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 fosters’ homes; who stay up late searching shelter pages for that next “Freedom Ride” potential; who volunteer 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 brings 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 …. 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 – often never looking back – as they start their most life’s 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!

Thank you Bull City Ciderworks - Durham for hosting our event last Saturday. It might have been soggy outside, but the pups inside shone their bright personalities and some even found their forever homes! We had a great time!
There are two opportunities to catch FRR this weekend:
- Join us Friday as Raleigh Night Market celebrates with a Pride Month kickoff. There will be food trucks, vendors, and of course our adoptable pups!
- Come rev your engine, Saturday, or just pawty with us for THE Ride. This is our annual poker run led by Revenant Warriors Motorcycle Organization. There will be stops at Bud's Tavern, Tobacco Wood Brewing Co., & TR's Lounge & Grill so there's multiple places to join in the fun!
We hope to see you there!
🐾 Calling all doggie daters! Meet Lance, the ultimate snuggle bug with a twist! 🐶❤️
🌟 Name: Lance
🎉 Occupation: Professional Snuggler
🏠 Preferred Location: Homebody Extraordinaire
💤 Sleep Level: Expert Napper
🐕 Ideal Match: A chilled-out buddy or a low-energy, submissive doggo with a knack for patience and slow introductions. Single dog homes are totally his thing!
Lance's motto is simple: why chase tails when you can chase z's? He'd rather cozy up on the couch with a fluffy blanket and a chew toy than join the social scene. 😴
You'll be amazed by his intelligence, but beware his stubbornness! Lance is like a master puzzle solver who insists on doing it his own way. 🤔
If you're looking for a loyal companion who'll melt your heart with his snuggles and fill your life with laughter, Lance is your pupper! ❤️
To keep this bundle of fluff entertained, make sure to have a stockpile of chew toys and squeaky treasures. They're his kryptonite!
Oh, and did we mention that Lance thrives in a fenced-in backyard? He loves to explore within safe boundaries and enjoy the fresh air. 🌳🏡
If you're up for a quirky adventure with a sweet and sensitive soul, swipe right on Lance! He'll shower you with love, loyalty, and the occasional hilarious stubborn moment. 💖🐾
