🐾 Unleash Giving for the Fighters Who Defy Every Odd 🐾
Some dogs come to us so fragile, so medically complex, that simply surviving feels like a miracle. Vortex was one of those pups. She arrived at just a few days old, facing more challenges than most dogs see in a lifetime:
🔸 a ruptured eye
🔸 a significant heart murmur
🔸 a cleft palate
🔸 neurological and developmental deficits
She was tiny, vulnerable, and fighting an uphill battle from her very first breath. We truly didn’t know if she would survive—much less thrive.

But then she landed in the hands of our neonatal specialist, Julie Pellicore, who poured every ounce of her expertise, patience, and heart into this fragile little life. Against every odd, she grew stronger. Her personality emerged—quirky, sweet, and full of determination.

And then the happiest chapter began:
Vortex was adopted by an incredible family in Virginia who loves her exactly as she is and celebrates all the things that make her wonderfully unique. Today, she is living her very best life, cherished for the miracle she is.

This Giving Tuesday, help us Unleash Giving so we can continue stepping up for the most vulnerable puppies—those who need specialized care, medical intervention, and someone willing to fight alongside them.

🐾 Unleash Giving for the Transformations You Can’t Always See 🐾
Not every rescue story is about physical healing. Sometimes the most profound transformations happen deep within a dog’s heart. When Bianca came to Freedom Ride Rescue, she was one of the most shut down dogs we had ever met. She avoided touch, spent her days hiding, and carried the weight of a life where love had never been offered to her. Her fear was heartbreaking—and overwhelming. But then something incredible happened.

Bianca found comfort not in humans at first, but in the other dogs in her foster home. They became her guides, her teachers, her safety net. Through them, she learned the small but monumental things: that food comes regularly, that soft beds are safe, that people can be gentle, and that she didn’t have to be afraid anymore. While Bianca will never be the kind of dog who enjoys crowded breweries or busy events, her transformation was nothing short of inspiring. She learned to trust.

And then, the happiest ending of all: One of our FRR fosters decided to adopt her. Today, she is loved, secure, and growing in confidence every day. Her story is a powerful reminder that emotional healing takes time, patience, and a kind of care that shelters simply cannot provide.

This Giving Tuesday, help us Unleash Giving so we can continue helping dogs like Bianca—those who need safety, compassion, and a chance to discover who they are when they finally feel loved.

🐾 Unleash Giving for Second Chances at Every Age 🐾

When Sylvie came to Freedom Ride Rescue, she broke our hearts. This sweet senior girl arrived missing large patches of fur, battling painful skin infections, and carrying the emotional scars of a hard life. She looked—and felt—utterly defeated. But Sylvie’s story was just beginning.

In her foster home, she was met with patience, warmth, and the gentle reassurance she had always deserved. Slowly, her skin healed. Her coat began to grow back. And just as importantly, Sylvie started to heal emotionally, learning that she was safe… valued… and finally, treasured.

And then came the best chapter of all:
Sylvie was adopted by a wonderful family who absolutely adores her.
Her golden years will now be filled with love, rest, and joy—exactly what every senior dog deserves.

Stories like Sylvie’s remind us why we do this work. Your support makes these transformations possible. This Giving Tuesday, help us Unleash Giving so we can continue rescuing seniors who need healing, compassion, and a chance at a beautiful final chapter.

🐾 Unleash Giving for the Most Remarkable Transformations 🐾
Some rescue stories begin with heartbreak—but end in pure joy. When we first saw photos of two tiny, pitiful puppies in a shelter, we knew instantly that we had to help. These little girls had endured far more than any puppy ever should.

When Grinny and Marlowe came into our care, they were severely malnourished, painfully underweight, and suffering from skin infections that left them missing patches of fur. Even worse, the emotional toll of their early trauma left them timid, shut down, and unsure of the world around them.

But then love happened.
Safety happened.
Healing happened.

With dedicated foster families, proper nutrition, medical treatments, and gentle, consistent care, these puppies began to bloom. Day by day, their fear eased. Their coats filled in. Their spark returned. And soon, their personalities—sweet, silly, joyful—shined through.

Today, you would never recognize them as the same puppies who first arrived. Both Grinny and Marlowe are now living their very best lives in their forever homes, surrounded by love, stability, and comfort.

This Giving Tuesday, help us Unleash Giving so we can continue saying “yes” to the most vulnerable dogs—those who need medical care, emotional healing, and a safe place to land before they can begin their new lives.

🐾 Unleash Giving for the Greatest Transformations 🐾
When we agreed to take in Rosalina, we believed we were saying yes to a hospice case—a gentle soul who deserved comfort, warmth, and dignity for whatever time she had left. She arrived with a massive abdominal mass, one that required extensive surgery to remove. (We apologize for the graphic photos, but we believe it’s important to show what she has overcome.)

But then something extraordinary happened.

The mass was benign, and as Rosie began to heal, her strength and spirit absolutely stunned us. Today, Rosalina has made a full recovery, and unless you saw the before photos, you’d never believe how sick she was just a short time ago. Rosie is now happy, healthy, and still waiting for her forever home—ready to be loved for the incredible survivor she is. (Read her full story and adoption profile on our website!)

Stories like Rosalina’s are exactly why we do what we do.
And they’re only possible because of you.

This Giving Tuesday, help us Unleash Giving so we can continue stepping up for dogs who need intensive care—whether that means providing comfort in a hospice foster home or giving them the second chance they need to thrive and find a family of their own.

Your support creates miracles. Thank you for helping us change lives.

#UnleashGiving #GivingTuesday #FreedomRideRescue #TransformationTuesday

In 2025, Dwight Schrute earned the honor of being our biggest medical investment of the year. Every single dollar has been worth it for this incredibly special old man. Dwight arrived in June—underweight, struggling with food allergies, and in dire need of dental care for a mouth full of rotten teeth. When he was prepped for his dental procedure, the vets discovered something even more urgent: massive bladder stones that required immediate surgery.

After that surgery, Dwight got his dental procedure, which resulted in five extractions and repairs for an oronasal fistula. As a super senior at 15, Dwight also lives with arthritis, which we help manage daily. This past week, he began showing signs of increased pain and decreased mobility in his back and hind legs. We are working closely with our veterinary partners to find the best path forward, ensuring he remains comfortable and cared for.

Through every twist, setback, and victory, one thing has remained constant: We will continue to do everything we can for Dwight—no matter the cost. Your support helps us Unleash Giving so we can keep saying “yes” to the dogs whose needs are great, whose care is costly, and whose lives depend on someone stepping up.

Unleash Giving for the Most Fragile Lives

Some of the dogs who come through Freedom Ride Rescue are tiny, vulnerable, and fighting battles from their very first breath. This year, we were incredibly fortunate—again—to have one of the NC’s foremost neonatal puppy specialists on our team: Julie Pellicore, FRR board member and extraordinary foster.

This year we took in 18 medically fragile puppies whose chances of survival were heartbreakingly slim. And while only half of them were strong enough to make it, every single one was loved fiercely, held gently, and given every possible chance to fight. For the ones who survived—it truly feels like witnessing miracles. Julie provides unmatched skill, compassion, and determination—giving these babies the kind of expert care that most never have access to.

Supporting puppies like these requires specialized equipment and supplies: incubators, tube-feeding tools, specialty formula, and so much more. These expenses add up quickly, but we will always say “yes” to giving fragile puppies a fighting chance.

This Giving Tuesday, help us Unleash Giving so we can continue supporting Julie and the miracle puppies who depend on her extraordinary care.
