Animal Aid Alliance of NC

Animal Aid Alliance of NC

Animal Aid Alliance of NC is joining Unleashed for their first Spring Fling this year! Founded in December of 2024, Animal Aid Alliance of NC provides grants, food donations, and financial assistance in vaccinating and microchipping pets. They also proudly sponsor low-cost spay and neuter clinics in their mission to prevent unwanted litters, dismantle financial barriers for pet owners, and reduce overcrowding in shelters. In 2025 alone, they funded 27 Rescue Grants totaling over $40,000.


"We help the helpers—partnering with animal rescues to maximize their success and impact."

In 2026, they plan to expand their impact through continuing to award grants to eligible organizations, sponsoring at least one no- or low-cost spay and neuter clinic each quarter, securing a mobile spay and neuter vehicle, and even possibly open their first brick and mortar.

"Animal Aid Alliance is dedicated to driving meaningful change by leveraging resources and expertise to support impactful rescue initiatives. With a commitment to transparency and accountability, we work diligently to create a lasting difference in animals' lives."


Meet Adoptable Cats with Animal Aid Alliance: Betsy and Beverly


"Betsy and Beverly are 1 year old bonded sisters who are looking for a loving forever home! They are fostered by one of Animal Aid Alliance’s team members in partnership with Turtle Pants Farm rescue. Their start in life was pretty rough, and they came to us as starved and weak kittens. With lots of love and care, they’re now thriving!


Betsy (black) has taken to people quite well. It takes her a little time to warm up but once she does, she’s the most affectionate girl! Loves to snuggle and curl up in your lap! Beverly (gray) is much more shy and prefers to play with her sister and sleep in her bed!


They’re looking for an adopter that will allow them the time and space to get comfortable in their new home! They’d do best in a calmer home without a lot of people running around but wouldn’t mind having cat and dog friends in the home as their foster has multiple of each! Their progress will come in small victories that build on themselves until they’ve learned to trust you! This will be a long process but so rewarding for all of you in the end when they learn to trust and love you!"


Apply to adopt them at turtlepantsfarm.org

Rocky's Bridge - A Helping Hand for Paws in Need- Affordable Spay and Neuter


Rocky's Bridge Logo Banner

Rocky's Bridge is joining us for their second Spring Fling! They are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization with a strong focus on raising funds for spay and neuter services, TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) programs, and essential medical care. Rocky’s Bridge works tirelessly to reduce pet overpopulation and ensure that animals in need receive the treatment they deserve.


"Rocky Bridge's mission is to ensure that no pet is surrendered or unadoptable due to the financial hardship of meeting veterinary care needs. We provide financial assistance to dogs/cats in our local rural shelters to ensure they have the necessary veterinary care to facilitate adoption or placement with a local rescue. We also provide financial assistance for veterinary care to local Granville and surrounding county community members, helping families keep their pet healthy, safe and at home."

Rocky’s Bridge Inc. was founded by a group of compassionate animal welfare advocates who recognized a pressing need for change and stepped up to help. The organization is dedicated to “bridging the gap” that prevents pets in the community from receiving affordable spay/neuters and medical care.


We want to keep pets in their homes and do our best to make sure seniors never have to choose between caring for themselves or their pets.

They are also passionate advocates for spay and neuter accessibility, believing it should be available to all pet owners, regardless of financial circumstances.


To support their mission, Rocky’s Bridge Inc. participates in local vendor events every weekend, offering a variety of fun pet items for sale. 100% of the proceeds go directly toward covering the medical expenses of pets in need. The organization relies on these sales, along with generous donations from their dedicated supporters, to continue providing life-saving care. With every purchase or contribution, Rocky’s Bridge takes another step toward ensuring that no pet is left behind due to financial barriers.



Who do your donations help?


Rocky's Winston

Dogs like Winston!! In 2024 he was adopted from Granville County Animal Shelter. Rocky’s Bridge planned to sponsor his heartworm treatment, and he was high positive. During his exam, it seemed to be one thing after another. More tests were run, and cancer was found. Considering his age, and some other issues…Rocky’s Bridge, Inc. ran a fundraiser for Tank (now lovingly know as Winston). Rocky’s Bridge continued to use those funds to help Winston and his owners.

"Our organization was born out of a commitment to bring help to pets and their owners in need. We have set out to aid those who need it most. Rocky's Bridge, Inc. is here to help, and we believe that change is possible when we put our hearts and minds to it."
