Zoomies Blog Announcement 2026

Zoomies Funny Farm is back again for their third year at Spring Fling! Started in 2023 to support local rescue efforts, Zoomies is focused primarily on spay and neuter assistance. They also provide funds to other rescues for things such as health and wellness grants, food assistance, training and medical needs. Zoomies is heavily involved in TNR (Trap-Neuter-Return) for community cats and offer help trapping lost/missing dogs.

Amanda and Forrest

Amanda and Forrest met when Amanda’s rescue dog, Fuzzy Lumpkins, temporarily escaped- a 36-hour hair raising ordeal. A little over a year later they formed Zoomies Funny Farm and got married in the same week.


The two share a love of animals and the desire to make a difference where they can with who they can. A huge recent accomplishment of Zoomies was doing about 1000 spay and neuter since June of 2024. Plus, they have gotten dozens of animals trapped and adopted!


The Zoomies team loves meeting all of the cute pups at Spring Fling! And the exposure is great. It’s so important to communicate the need for spay and neuter. The best way to keep animals out of shelters is to prevent unwanted births in the first place! Stop by the Zoomies booth at Spring Fling 2026 to learn more!

Carolina Animal Network Blog

Carolina Animal Network is joining us for their third Spring Fling, and we are thrilled to have them back! Started as a network outreach program to assist the Rocky Mount Animal Shelter, Carolina Animal Network has officially been rescuing dogs and cats since 2021. They are a fun team that put the wellness of their animals above even their own at times.

Adopt Jersey!

This group rescues animals from high-kill shelters in the South and either relocates them to no-kill rescue organizations throughout the country or helps them to get adopted around North Carolina. 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.


Carolina Animal Network is made of entirely volunteers who after many years of helping animals wanted to do more about the euthanasia rates for rural shelters. One of their teams biggest recent accomplishments was helping spay/neuter a hoarding case in Selma and saving 3 litters of puppies!

"Our goal is to save at-risk dogs & cats from euthanasia in the Eastern North Carolina Region."

Meet Jersey!

(available as of 4/3/26)


Jersey is a fun energetic puppy. He is crate-trained, house-trained, and knows sit and paw. He is still working on other manners but is coming along nicely. He is dog friendly and would benefit from a dog showing him the ropes.  We would not recommend small children right now, but older kids would be great. Interested in adopting Jersey? Learn more about him on his Wagtopia profile!



Take a peek at the pets currently waiting for a home from Carolina Animal Network here: Adopt – Carolina Animal Network. Keep up with Carolina Animal Network on their website and their social media channels, Facebook and Instagram.


Carolina Animal Network loves Spring Fling because it gives them a chance to get adoptable dogs in front of people who love them, and hopefully their future family! Don't miss meeting them and their adoptable pups at Spring Fling 2026!

Harmony Animal Rescue Clinic Blog Announcement

Harmony Animal Rescue Clinic (HARC) is joining Spring Fling for their first time this year. HARC is committed to helping pet rescue organizations save more lives by providing timely, low-cost, high-quality veterinary care. Their non-profit 501(c)3 clinic is the only non-profit animal rescue clinic on the East Coast. HARC doesn't adopt out animals directly; they provide vet care to rescues!


Harmony Animal Rescue Clinic with cats

HARC was founded on a deep commitment to community and animal welfare. In 2018, as Harmony Animal Hospital (HAH) moved into a new facility, founders Dr. Jodi Reed and Jason Lenhardt saw more than just an empty building - they saw an opportunity to give back to the community that had supported them for nearly a decade.


Fueled by Dr. Jodi’s passion for helping rescue groups care for homeless cats and dogs, they transformed the original HAH location into HARC. Since then, HARC has become vital to the animal welfare ecosystem - partnering with over 120 rescue groups, treating more than 11,000 animals, and performing 9,100+ surgeries. These numbers reflect lives changed, homes found, and futures rewritten.

Each rescue story shared here represents a life changed through compassionate care, ranging from simple exams to life-saving treatments. HARC has many Happy Tails stories on their website: https://harcnc.org/happy-tails/.


Read one of the featured stores about a blind and deaf Great Dane puppy named Cricket:


"When Tracey first saw the listing for Cricket, her heart sank even as it swelled. A double merle Great Dane puppy—blind, deaf, and only four months old. The kind of dog that rescue coordinators whisper about in worried tones, knowing the odds are stacked impossibly high. Special needs puppies rarely get second looks, much less second chances. And a Great Dane puppy with no sight and no sound? Most people would scroll right past."

But not Tracey. She stepped in and gave Cricket a second chance. Read Cricket's "Happy Tail" here: https://harcnc.org/happy-tails-cricket/.
