N.C. Non-Profit Animal Rescue

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 fostersā homes; who stay up late searching shelter pages for that next āFreedom Rideā 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 areĀ 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 ā¦. 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 ā often never looking backĀ āĀ as they start their most lifeās 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!

This sweet litter of Great Dane mix puppies is almost 4 months old and settling into foster life beautifully! They're busy learning all the important puppy lessonsāhow to be good housemates, how to make friends, and how wonderful it is to be loved.
Since we know they're at least part Great Dane, adopters should be prepared for plenty of big puppy energy, long legs, and oversized cuddles. Being mixes, they may not reach full Great Dane size, but we do expect them to grow into larger companions.
The good news? More dog means more love, more snuggles, and more goofy puppy antics to enjoy.
If you're ready to welcome a gentle giant (or future gentle giant) into your life, these adorable pups are ready to start meeting their forever families!

š¦“HELP WANTEDš¦“ - Veterinary Consultant
Freedom Ride is looking to grow our amazing vet support team, and weād love to welcome one or two new volunteers!
As part of the group, youāll help keep our dogsā medical records up to date and make sure every pup gets the vaccines, exams, surgeries, and followāup care they need. Youāll also help monitor our Slack channel to guide fosters through health questions (prepare yourself for many photos of questionable poop).
Youāll work closely with fosters, adopters, and our partner veterinary clinics to schedule appointments and ensure each dog gets the right care at the right time.
Experience in a vet clinic is a huge bonus, but not required ā just bring your love for animals, your attention to detail, and your willingness to jump in and help! Passion and reliability matter most.

š§µāØ Introducing the Pattern Pups! āØš§µ
Argyle, Chevron, and Paisley have officially arrived and are ready to start searching for their forever families! These adorable mixed-breed puppies are about 6 weeks old and already overflowing with personality, puppy antics, and cuteness.
While we can`t say for sure what breeds make up this trio, one thing is becoming clearāthey seem to be trending toward the larger side, so expect these little bundles of fluff to grow into medium-to-large-sized companions.
For now, they`re busy exploring the world, playing with their siblings, taking lots of naps, and perfecting the art of being ridiculously adorable. They are accepting applications now, and can go to their forever homes once they are 8 weeks old.
