Odin's Orphans - Serving the homeless dogs in Nash County

Odin's Orphans Rescue is an all volunteer group of rescuers dedicated to helping as many homeless dogs in Nash County as they can. Nearly all of their dogs come from the county shelter, and are there for any number of reasons from abandonment and neglect, to owners no longer able to care for them. This group takes great care in screening potential homes to ensure that each dog is matched with the best family for their needs and vice versa. Education is provided on the responsibilities and costs of pet ownership to all prospective adopters.

"Animals in our care are spayed or neutered, receive all appropriate veterinary care and treatment, and are placed in nurturing foster homes while they await placement into their permanent homes. We assist dogs in distress without regard to age, breed, or ease of placement. To the extent our finances allow, dogs in greatest need take priority.​"

We are excited to have Odin's Orphans joining us for Spring Fling again this year! Check them out on Facebook and Instagram!

Chatham County, here is a group who CAREs about your animals!

More than an animal rescue, Chatham Animal Rescue and Education CAREs! This is an organization with diverse programs to make the most impact possible on the pets and people of Chatham County.

"CARE is a nonprofit animal welfare organization whose mission is to ensure the health and safety of all dogs and cats in Chatham County. CARE promotes responsible pet ownership by educating the community, providing targeted spay/neuter programs, and fostering homeless cats and dogs until they are placed in loving, permanent homes."

Many of their adoptable animals come from their county shelter. These animals have a limited amount of time so CARE works hard alongside the shelter to save as many as possible and pull them into the rescue foster homes.

Through Lillie's Fund, CARE provides an option for low cost spay and neuter to residents of Chatham County with limited income. Dogs and cats who are family pets can receive the surgery as well as vaccines and a microchip at an affordable cost, with several veterinary offices in Chatham County serving as partners in the program.

CARE also helps the community cats of Chatham County. If you are live in the county and have feral or community cats and would like to start serving as their caretaker, CARE is able to help with trapping them and help get them spayed/neutered and vaccinated. Additionally, they can guide anyone interested in becoming a colony caretaker with resources to provide the best care possible for the cats!

Another program, their Pet Responsibility Education Program (PREP) is geared towards children. PREP aims "to teach children to be safe around cats and dogs, to be responsible pet owners, and to help reduce pet overpopulation by advocating for spay/neuter in their communities."

Their website has so many resources for all kinds of pet-related topics, all with the aim of improving the health and safety of animals in the community. If you have a question about pet ownership, from adding a new pet to your home, to having to find them a more suitable home, and everything in between, CARE's Resource Center has you covered! Make sure you stop and see these guys at Spring Fling!

German Shepherd lovers, here's a group you won't want to miss!

Freedom German Shepherd Rescue is a dedicated group of volunteers working to save neglected, abused, and abandoned German Shepherds and German Shepherd mixes across North Carolina. Their dogs may come from shelters, from owners who can no longer care for their dog, or from partner rescues. All their dogs live in foster homes while waiting for their perfect match. That way, they can get an idea of the kind of home that would best suit each dog, as well as start on basic training and get an idea of each dog's personality.

This group prides themselves on doing what is best for each dog in their care. This includes a several step application process to find the best fit for each dog and for each applicant.

You can see some of their adoptable dogs before Spring Fling as well! They have an adoption event each month at our Crescent Commons location in Cary at 2066 Kildaire Farm Road. The next events are Saturday March 14th and Saturday April 11th. See their event listing on Facebook for more information about the adoption events!
