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!

We think Shirley is gorgeous from EVERY angle!
Sweet Shirley may be shy at first, but behind those gentle eyes is a loving girl who just wants a quiet place to feel safe and loved. She's house-trained, crate-trained, and happiest in a calm home where she can take life at her own pace.
All Shirley needs is someone willing to believe in her—and watch her blossom. 💕🐾

☀️ Sunshine by name, sunshine by nature. ☀️
This sweet girl brings warmth wherever she goes. Whether she`s making friends with other dogs and cats, enjoying a walk, or curling up for cuddles, Sunshine`s favorite thing is simply being close to her people.
Equal parts playful and snuggly, she`s ready to brighten someone`s life—and maybe their couch, too. 🐾💛
Could Sunshine be the missing ray of light in your family?

This week was tough ... we lost a pup to parvo - and have the two pups on the same freedom ride under careful watch for symptoms. Our hearts break for the Koppers family who lost their sweet foster SO quickly. You can see in the video, Leroy was GREAT upon arrival and then went south at a mind-blowing speed - he and the two pups on transport with him all got a new antibody treatment that has been a literal life saver for dogs with Parvo.
We DESPERATELY need more fosters for a litter of Great Dane mixes ... they are about 3 months old and FABULOUS. The shelter is at critical mass and asked us to take pups as we found fosters (to free up kennel space - and knowing we’d keep working for the rest of the litter). If you can help with one or two, please let us know asap!!
All of the dogs in this album will be on hold at least a week to monitor for health and behavioral needs! You can apply for them at freedom-ride.org/adopt
This freshly baked, 1 and a half year old, delight is Casserole and she is a 18lb terrier mix. She’s an extremely sweet ball of joy that craves your lap, but is currently in need of rescuing. Interested in helping Casserole out of the crowded shelter? Email our foster coordinator listed below!

Saving one dog will not change the world, but surely for that one dog, the world will change forever.”
