Canine Community Outreach, supporting pets and their people in NC

Did you know that animal rescue groups aren’t the only ones helping animals in need? There are many different groups helping animals without operating an adoption or foster program and Canine Community Outreach of NC is one of them.

“At Canine Community Outreach of North Carolina, we’re closing the gap between affordable canine care and our community. By educating owners about and enabling proper medical care, we improve canine lives. We connect individuals in need with low-cost canine medical care and also support medical fundraising for rescue dogs in need.

We are 100% volunteer-run. All money raised goes to spay & neuter initiatives, vaccines and other necessary medical procedures for dogs in our area.”

You can find more information on their Facebook and Instagram pages, or at their website, linked above!

Freedom Ride Rescue; saving dogs one "freedom ride" at a time

Freedom Ride Rescue is a group of Raleigh dog lovers who are dedicated to helping as many dogs as possible get their “freedom ride”- that trip out of the shelter to a new life and a second chance to find their happily ever after. Everyone with Freedom Ride is a volunteer and the group is completely foster based, meaning their dogs live in homes with families, learning everything they need to become the best housemate possible and your future best friend.

“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 – often never looking back – as they start their life’s most wonderful chapter: the one as a cherished pet.”

You can keep up with Freedom Ride on their website or on their social media channels, Facebook and Instagram.

Vets to Vets improving lives!

Vets to Vets is an organization that helps Veterans get united with a dog and their main goal is improving and saving lives.

By pairing veterans with dogs, they seek to significantly improve a veteran's life by providing companionship and/or help with a mental or physical disability. At the same time, they help save the life of a dog facing euthanasia by adopting the animal from a local animal shelter.

The benefits of companion, therapeutic, and service dogs for veterans suffering from depression, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), and other disabling conditions is well known.

"This type of human/animal bond creates a life-long, loving relationship between two souls, provides therapeutic interventions that can improve the veterans mental and physical health, and promotes a healthier more productive community by increasing independence for men and women veterans with disabling medical and physical conditions."

Make sure to come and see them as they will be attending with some Vets and their pups!
