All Good Dogs Rescue - Helping NC Dogs in Need

At All Good Dogs Rescue, the mission is to provide safe, loving foster homes for dogs in need across NC. They ensure that every dog receives proper veterinary care and is thoughtfully matched with a forever family that fits their personality and needs.

All Good Dogs Rescue is motivated by the fact that in 2021, North Carolina had the second highest euthanasia rate in the US. Our state regularly euthanizes more than 10,000 dogs a year. Many shelters are driven to euthanasia due to overcrowding rather than medical or behavioral problems. All Good Dogs is on a mission to change that!

As soon as they received their official 501(c)(3) status in the second half of 2025, All Good Dogs began actively pulling dogs from shelters and in short span of time has already helped 17 dogs find safety and care, supported by a growing network of eight foster homes.

About growing the rescue and foster network, they had this to say:

"From the beginning, our goal has been not only to rescue dogs in need, but also to build a supportive community around them. We know foster caregiving can be challenging, and we believe people do their best work when they feel supported. Being present for our fosters and working together as a team is central to how we operate."

All Good Dogs doesn't have a long history yet, but it is already so meaningful and impactful. Here's what they had to say about how it's going:

"2025 has been a year we’ll never forget. Starting a rescue from the ground up has been challenging, but also incredibly rewarding. We took in several dogs with serious medical needs and experienced real heartbreak along the way. Providing dogs with the best possible medical care and still being unable to save them is the hardest part of rescue, but they are always worth it."

"We feel especially lucky to be able to help dogs like Oscar, a 4-year-old Shih Tzu. Oscar came to us severely malnourished, with an eye so badly damaged it had to be removed, and an abscess between his eyes that had reached his skull. With the help of our veterinary partners, we were able to remove his eye, place him on a careful re-feeding plan, and treat the abscess. Just a week and a half after surgery, Oscar is already feeling so much better and has even started playing! Seeing dogs like Oscar begin to heal, regain their joy, and rediscover what it feels like to be safe reminds us why this work matters and gives us hope for the year ahead."

Oscar, aka Oscar Asparagus, joined All Good Dogs at the first-ever adoption event to take place at Unleashed at Crabtree Valley Mall and he was quite the showstopper! We hope that he visits Spring Fling with a new forever family- we would love to see him again soon! If he hasn't found his forever home by then, come meet him and see if the home where he belongs is yours!

Ready to Adopt? Meet Roxy!

(currently available as of 2/20/26)

To know Roxy is to love Roxy! This medium sized Pittie mix puppy is exuberant. It’s no wonder when a gang of college girls found her as an emaciated stray, they made her their special project. They took her to the vet, where she was incredibly popular and eventually convinced one of the girls’ moms to foster her.

Roxy is such an enthusiastic gal she would do best with another playful dog. We think a low energy or elderly dog might find her a bit annoying, but we LOVE her spirit!

She would be fine as an only dog as long as her adopter has the time and energy for walks and playtime. Roxy would make an incredible running or hiking buddy! She’s delightful in public so she’d also be a great brewery buddy. Honestly, we couldn’t love this sweet gal anymore. Her enthusiasm and joy for life are infectious. Roxy has been spayed and is ready for her forever home!
