N.C. Non-Profit Animal Rescue
Give a Freedom RideIn the rescue world, a âFreedom Rideâ 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 âŚ. 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 fostersâ homes; who stay up late searching shelter pages for that next âFreedom Rideâ 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 âŚ. 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 â often never looking back â as they start their most lifeâs 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!

đ¨đ¨FOSTER NEEDED URGENTLY!!đ¨đ¨This sweetheart needs a foster ASAP. Heâs a five year old, dog friendly beagle with so much love to give. Unfortunately, due to his heartworm status, he can only be pulled by a rescue. Weâd love to get him out of the shelter and get him the love and medical care he needs! FRR covers all costs associated with his care, including HW treatment, we just need you to provide the loving home! He would thrive in a foster home with another dog (HW is not contagious if household pets are on preventatives-a requirement for all FRR foster homes). Please email jennifer@freedom-ride.org if you can help this darling boy!
Derby may only have three legs, but heâs got enough love, sweetness, and joy for about ten dogs. đžđ
This tripod king doesnât let anything slow him downânot car rides, adventures, stairs, or soaking up affection from his favorite people. Heâs gentle, calm, easygoing, and happiest just being by your side.
Honestly? Derby isnât missing a thing. Except maybe a forever home. â¨

It appears she may have been hit by a car at some point and her injury was never treated, but despite everything she has been through, her spirit has not been dimmed. She is dog friendly and eager to please (swipe for some VERY cute videos). She is an incredibly sweet girl who deserves comfort, care and love while she gets the help she needs. If you can open your home to Mae, please email jennifer@freedom-ride.org today. Freedom Ride Resche covers all costs associated with her care, we just need you to provide the loving foster home!

đ¨đ¨FOSTER NEEDED!đ¨đ¨ Coyote is an 8-10 week old pup in need of a foster home! He is dog friendly and this boyâs tail doesnât stop wagging! He is a total sweetheart! If you live within an hour of Raleigh and can foster Coyote please email jennifer@freedom-ride.org today!
Mikey and Oli are serving up double the puppy cutenessâŚbut theyâre each looking for their own forever homes. đžđ
(As adorable as they are together, we do not adopt puppies out in pairs. Raising sibling-aged puppies together can lead to challenges, so these boys need separate families where they can grow into confident, independent dogs!)
Oli is the affectionate, kiss-giving cuddlebug who loves cozy naps, toys, and staying busy with playtime and adventures. Mikey is the food-motivated little charmer whoâs equal parts playful and snuggly, with a big love for toys, soft blankets, and hanging out with his people.
Both boys adore other dogs, are doing great with crate training, and are looking for families ready for all the fun, chaos, enrichment, and cuddles that come with puppyhood.
If youâre searching for a sweet, social best friend with tons of personality, one of these boys might just be your perfect match. â¨
Apply to meet either of these cuties by putting in an application on our website: www.freedom-ride.org/for-adoption
Rhode Island (Isla), Montana, Dakota, and Georgia have already been through more than any puppy shouldâbut youâd never know it from their sweet faces and resilient spirits. đđž
When these Shar Pei pups came to Freedom Ride Rescue, they were struggling with painful skin issues and needed specialized eye surgeries to correct entropion, a condition where the eyelids roll inward and can damage the eyes. Through it all, theyâve been absolute troopers.
Now, after lots of medical care, healing, and love, these puppies are finally ready for the next chapter: finding their forever homes. Each puppy has their own unique personality and needs, so be sure to read their individual bios on our website to learn more about who might be the perfect fit for your family.
Weâll also be honestâthis litterâs medical care placed a significant strain on rescue finances. If youâre able to contribute to their fundraiser, your support will help us continue saying âyesâ to dogs who need lifesaving care like these pups did.

Saving one dog will not change the world, but surely for that one dog, the world will change forever.â
