N.C. Non-Profit Animal Rescue
Give a Freedom RideIn the rescue world, a βFreedom Rideβ 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 β¦. 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 fostersβ homes; who stay up late searching shelter pages for that next βFreedom Rideβ 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 areΒ 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 β¦. 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 β often never looking backΒ βΒ as they start their most lifeβs 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 need your help to treat EIGHT dogs with heartworms! We recently added the cute Doug to the heartworm roll call. Please consider a donation to their care at:
gofund.me/8e57b259c
It costs an average of $700 for each dog - for antibiotics, tests, supplies and the actual treatment which is three injections and two overnight vet stays ... at our incredible partner vet, Falls Village Veterinary Hospital.
Heartworms are preventable with monthly or annual medications - and without being protected, all it takes is one bite from an infected mosquito. If you dog in not on heartworm prevention, please speak to you vet asap!

Enrich your dog`s life in simple ways
Not every walk needs to be a power walk. Sometimes the best walks happen at βsniffariβ speed. πΎπ
For dogs, sniffing isnβt just funβitβs mentally enriching, calming, and one of the primary ways they explore the world around them. Letting your dog stop, sniff, investigate, and take their time on walks can be far more fulfilling than simply covering a certain distance.
The same goes for enrichment activities like snuffle mats, scatter feeding, and lick mats. Sniffing taps into natural foraging instincts, while licking is naturally soothing and mentally engaging for many dogs. These simple activities can help reduce stress, prevent boredom, and give dogs a healthy outlet for their brains.
Sometimes enrichment doesnβt have to be complicated. Sometimes itβs just letting your dog sniff that bush for an absurdly long amount of time. π
This goofy, loving boy is the definition of a loyal sidekick. Whether youβre headed on an adventure or just walking to the kitchen, Razz is ready to be your ride-or-die best friend for it all. πΎ
Razz is a little under 2 years old and has a personality that will keep you laughing every day. Apply to meet your future bestie: www.freedom-ride.org/for-adoption

πΎβοΈ Meet Phoenix Wright: Attorney at Paw! βοΈπΎ
This 5-month-old Aussie mix is ready to make his case for why he deserves to be your BFF. And trust us, the evidence is pretty convincing.
Phoenix is smart, social, adventurous, and full of that classic Aussie enthusiasm. He loves toys, dog friends, meeting new people, exploring the world, and then crashing hard for a post-adventure nap. At around 35 pounds and still growing, he`s going to be a big, handsome boy when he`s all grown up!
Like any teenage puppy, Phoenix is still learning the ropes. He`s looking for a home that can provide structure, consistency, and guidance with all the important puppy training basics. He is very smart and loves to make his people happy; all he needs is a home that can guide him to being the best boy he can be!
Whether you`re looking for an active best friend to adopt or can open your home as a foster while he continues learning, Phoenix is ready to reward you with endless love, laughs, snuggles, and puppy kisses.
We would LOVE for this special boy to find his forever family...but we are also looking for a new foster home for Phoenix while he waits for his people to find him. If you love fun, adventure, and puppy kisses AND you can help give this smart pup a structured and consistent home to help him grow into the most amazing dog...apply to meet him now!
π‘ Adopter (or new foster home) needed
πΆ Dog-friendly
π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦ Great with people and older children
πΎ Toy enthusiast
β¨ Certified good boy in training
Phoenix is ready for his next chapter. Could it be with you? πΎπ

We had an absolute blast spending Memorial Day weekend at Deep River Brewing Company for our adoption event. As always, Deep River was a fantastic host, providing the perfect setting for a day full of wagging tails, smiling faces, and new beginnings.
We`re also always thrilled for any chance to hang out with our friends at Binky & Bell. Rick`s generosity and support of rescue dogs never cease to amaze us, and we`re so grateful for everything he does for our mission.
The day was busy, fun, and full of smiles, snuggles, and hope. Several of our pups met their potential forever families, and multiple adoption journeys officially got started. There`s nothing better than watching those connections happen right before your eyes.
A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by, chatted with our volunteers, met our dogs, shopped with our vendors, and helped make the event such a success. We can`t wait to do it again!
Saving one dog will not change the world, but surely for that one dog, the world will change forever.β
