N.C. 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 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 fosters’ homes; who stay up late searching shelter pages for that next “Freedom Ride” 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 …. 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!

❤️ FRR Alum Monty & Petunia have completed their human’s family and they are so thankful to FRR for rescuing them!
🍯Petunia is a very sweet girl, and is as smart as a whip! She can “sit,” “spin,” and does “four on the floor” like a pro!
🐾 Monty & Petunia are a dynamic duo, and we hear that Monty is an excellent big brother! We all know that two FRR dogs are better than one, but what’s better than having an older doggy sibling to help with training!? 😉
🌊Monty recently enjoyed his third trip to the beach, and Petunia can’t wait to go!
🛏️Monty & Petunia are spoiled rotten and get to sleep on beds with cozy blankets and fluffy pillows!
😁We love to see adopters return to adopt another dog! After all, dogs are like potato chips. You can’t have just one!
☀️ Welcome to the Sunny side of life! Rays your hand if you’re ready to be the foster to this sun-sational dog! ☀️
Our buddy Sunny is 2 years old and 50lbs with the absolute best per-sun-ality. He shines in homes with other dogs, cats, and children. He would, however, prefer a dog pal that won’t boss him around because he’s a low key and submissive dude. We’re more than happy to enlighten you to the fact that he’s also crate trained and housebroken.
Sunny stays golden, even in the shade, basking on the porch with a stick in his paw. Then he’ll come inside for an afternoon snooze on the couch - this happy boy just radiates positivity.
The only shadow in your life will be this handsome pup as he’d much prefer to hang by your side than stray too far. For this reason, Sunny would thrive with a foster that’s not gone for long hours during the day.
Do these pictures of Sunny re-sun-ate with you? It will only take one per-sun to foster this fabulous guy! Don’t stay up all night until it dawns on you that Sunny has a bright future, apply today to foster Sunny at www.shelterluv.com/matchme/foster/FRR/Dog or email mollie@freedom-ride.org for more info.
