NC Seaside Animal Rescue, based in Onslow County, NC, is a dedicated animal rescue

group committed to saving lives of pets in need by working closely with local shelters. Their mission is to move animals out of shelter environments and into foster homes or arrange transport to rescues where they have a better chance of finding forever families. Their vital work wouldn’t be possible without the support of compassionate community members, whose involvement helps them make a lasting impact.

Rocky's Bridge - Affordable Spay and Neuter


Rocky's Bridge Logo Banner

Rocky's Bridge is joining us for their very first 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.


"We help pay vet bills for citizens and help rescues pay for their vet bills for particular dogs or cats pulled from county shelters. We are based in Granville County but help with surrounding needs as well."

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."

Carolina Animal Rescue and Adoption - Don't Let Love go to Waste: ADOPT


Carolina Animal Rescue and Adoption Logo Banner

Carolina Animal Rescue and Adoption (CARA) is making their Spring Fling debut this year! Their dedication to helping animals in need makes them a perfect addition to this year's rescue lineup.


CARA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit, volunteer-run organization that depends entirely on individual and corporate donations, as well as fundraising proceeds, to carry out its mission. They do not receive any funding from government agencies or national animal welfare organizations. The rescue is fortunate to have a compassionate and dedicated team of volunteers, board members, and supporters who make their life-saving work possible.


MISSION:

"To promote responsible pet ownership through humane education, and to provide shelter and care to domestic companion animals until a loving, responsible home can be found, or lost pets are reunited with their guardians."

Dr. Ron Myres and Pat Sprouse

The beginning of CARA started shortly after Dr. Ron Myres, DVM, opened his veterinary practice in Sanford, NC in 1977. One of Dr. Myres’ first clients was Pat Sprouse, who became close friends with Ron and his wife, Gail.


Sitting around a dinner table, they joined forces with Sissy and Poly Cohen and Diane and Rodney Harrill to form a team of caring people devoted to finding a solution to the growing population of homeless animals in Lee County.


Their collective efforts would later result in the beginning of the San-Lee Humane Society in the early 1980's, a facility that eventually became Carolina Animal Rescue and Adoption (CARA) in 2003. As one would expect, the number of homeless animals were more than they could handle effectively without a facility.


CARA continues to find loving forever homes for animals and is committed to a no-kill philosophy. It takes the dedication, generosity, caring and support of the community to allow CARA to do what it does. Since 2003 CARA has found homes for thousands of dogs and cats. Animals have been rehomed as far north as Vermont and as far south as Florida.

CARA has hosted countless community groups at the shelter as well as given humane education presentations at local schools and organizations.


"Adopt a pet today and find out what unconditional love is all about."

Adopt Chewbacca!

(currently available as of 3/31/25)

CARA Adoptable Chewbacca

Think of a dog that you know. A perfect dog that you love so so much. A dog that is well behaved, sweet, goofy, adorable, and loving. A dog that you couldn’t imagine anyone not wanting. A dog that does well with most other dogs and well with kids. Just an amazing pup. Now imagine that dog finding themselves at a rescue and imagine that sweet dog sitting in their kennel, waiting for their furever home for almost a year.


That is unfortunately the reality for this sweet guy, Chewbacca. Everyone at CARA who knows Chewy just doesn’t understand it.

He’s an incredible guy who has had no interest. He makes friends with every human he meets. He’s truly incredible but so far, nobody has wanted to give him a chance. It is heartbreaking. Please don’t overlook this perfect gentleman! He will make a family SO happy.
