Carolina Animal Network saves high-risk pets in NC

Carolina Animal Network is joining us for Spring Fling for the first time this year and we are excited to have them! This animal rescue group is made of entirely volunteers who have been helping animals for years and recognized the euthanasia rates for rural shelters leading to them officially forming Carolina Animal Network in 2021.

This group focuses on pulling animals from overcrowded, rural shelters where the animals don't have a great chance of making it out. Carolina Animal Network uses foster homes to care for animals while they search for adopters across North Carolina or for other rescue groups across country can get the animals adopted.

In addition to animal adoptions and placements, Carolina Animal Network promotes spay and neuter initiatives to help reduce pet overpopulation and advocates for shelter reform.

One of their adoptable dogs is Flower, pictured here. This girl was saved right in time from the shelter. She is described as active and playful but also able to enjoy a good nap! You can read more about her here.

Keep up with Carolina Animal Network on their website and their social media channels, Facebook and Instagram. And don't forget to stop by their booth at Spring Fling and say hello!

German Shepherd Rescue and Adoption - Saving Shepherds in the Carolinas and Virginia

GSRA is another long-time Spring Fling attendee and we are pleased to have them again this year! They love coming to the event and meeting new people that may want to adopt a shepherd. The more people that adopt from GSRA, the more dogs that they can save.

German Shepherd Rescue and Adoptions has been saving shepherds in the Carolinas and Virginia since 1992. They are based in Raleigh and offer care and adoption services to stray, surrendered and neglected German shepherds through their network of foster homes in their service area. They also work to spread knowledge about sharing life with a German Shepherd so that people are more aware when they make the decision to welcome one into their family.

One of their adoptable dogs is Walter! This cutie is about 7 months old. Since he's a young guy, he's learning all kinds of new things in his foster home. He has doggy siblings in his foster home and originally arrived in the shelter with his sister so he's got a lot of experience with dogs and would love to have a confident doggy sibling in his home. For all the information on Walter and to apply to adopt him, check out his profile on the GSRA website, here.

You can see all their adoptable shepherds on their website and follow them on Facebook and Instagram. Make sure to stop by their booth to say hello!
