Mark your calendars & clear your schedules… it’s almost Barkitecture Day! 🐾📣

This Saturday from 1–5 PM at Downtown Cary Park, we’ll be part of one of our favorite events of the year – Barkitecture 2025! 🎉

Of course, Freedom Ride Rescue will be there with our adorable, adoptable dogs ready to meet you! 🐶💕

✨ Pet-themed fun
✨ Creative builds
✨ Cute adoptables
✨ A paw-some day in the park

At 9 years old, this sweet girl has the perfect balance of spirited energy and snuggly charm. Weighing in at 55 lbs, Zuzu’s heart is just as big as her love for belly rubs! 💕

✨ Why Zuzu is wonderful:
🐾 Sweet, affectionate, and absolutely loves cuddles
🎾 Still playful — enjoys catch, zoomies, and long walks
🏡 Fully house trained & crate trained (though she’d rather be on the couch!)
🐶 Loves romping with her foster sister
💻 The best work-from-home buddy — naps quietly by your side

Don’t let her age fool you — Zuzu is full of joy, spirit, and plenty of tail wags. She’s the perfect mix of adventure companion and couch cuddler, and she’s ready to fill her forever home with love, laughter, and loyalty. 🌸

✨🐾 Meet Cleo – Our Black Beauty 🐾✨

With her sleek black coat and soulful eyes, Cleo is a true stunner. We believe she’s a Lab/Plott Hound mix, and at just a little over a year old, she’s the perfect blend of playful energy and sweet affection. 💕

Cleo has both the looks and the personality to win your heart in record time. Whether she’s showing off her goofy side during playtime or leaning in for snuggles, she’s the kind of dog who makes every day brighter. 🌟

Meet Frodo, our lowrider lovebug straight out of Middle-earth! With the noble face of a German Shepherd and the stout, squat build of a true adventurer, this gentle soul is ready to set out on the greatest journey of all — finding his forever home. 🏡💛

Like his namesake, Frodo has a heart full of loyalty and courage. He’s calm, easygoing, and happiest when he’s by your side — whether it’s a peaceful walk in the Shire (a.k.a. your neighborhood) or a cozy evening curled up by the “fire.” 🔥🐕

🌟 Dog-friendly fellow traveler
🌟 Gentle and affectionate Hobbit-heart
🌟 Short legs, epic levels of cuteness

Frodo may not be carrying a ring, but he is ready to carry all the love and devotion you could ever want. 💍❤️

📜 Apply today to join Frodo on the next chapter of his adventure — maybe straight into your home! www.freedom-ride.org

🌟✨ Glow Up Alert!!! 🌟✨

When Katara arrived in August, she was in rough shape — missing much of her coat, with itchy, scabby skin, painful ear infections, and hips that ached from years of neglect. It was clear she had spent much of her life with a breeder before finding herself in a shelter, skinny and malnourished. 💔

Fast forward to now, and Katara is almost unrecognizable! With good food, proper medication, and plenty of love, this 5-year-old retriever mix has transformed into a beautiful, happy girl who finally knows the comfort of soft beds, fun toys, and kind arms to curl up in. 🐾💖

Through it all, Katara has shown us what resilience really means. She’s sweet, affectionate, and grateful for every ounce of love she receives.

Katara will need some ongoing care — regular allergy medications and a little extra support for her hips — but what she’ll give back is priceless: loyalty, joy, and endless love.

🏡 Katara is now available for adoption and ready for her forever family. If you’ve been waiting for a gentle soul to remind you of the healing power of love, Katara is your girl. 💕
