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!

Ruby may be heartworm-positive, but she is ready to find her forever home. We're happy to help her get back to being totally healthy--even if she finds the perfect family, we'll still continue to take care of her heartworm treatments. This lovely girl is looking for a low-key, quiet home where she can just hang out and be spoiled.

Poor Usher! 😭 Along with his cleft palate he went to the cardiologist on Thursday for a heart murmur and was diagnosed with mild to moderate Pulmonic Stenosis. Pulmonic Stenosis is a defect in the Pulmonic valve leading to an obstruction to the flow of blood from the heart into the lungs.
Our hope is he will live a normal life without medication but will require a recheck in 3 months. His Cardiology appointment cost the rescue $800, please donate so we can help the next medical dog in need.
