It Takes a Village Rescue NC - Because Every Dog Deserves a Village

Updated: Apr 16


It Takes a Village Logo Banner

It Takes a Village Rescue NC (ITAVR NC) is returning to Spring Fling this year! This rescue began in 2017 through the power of social media. As many in the rescue world know, it only takes one adorable face to spark an entire mission. Their passion is to protect and save the lives of as many as they can, and to unconditionally love the ones whose time has passed.


Their Mission is simple: to continue rescuing animals until their services are no longer needed - the ultimate goal of any rescue organization. United through the power of social media, their dedicated community, known as "Villagers," shares a deep commitment to compassion, love, and empathy for every animal in their care. Their vision extends beyond the Carolinas, with a goal to help any dog in need, no matter where they are.

In the last 7 years, ITAVR NC has grown exponentially and has connected hundreds of pets to adopters, fulfilled family dreams, and changed lives. They have developed partnerships with Northern Rescues, and the purchase of a transport van has allowed them to send hundreds of dogs north where there is a shortage of shelter dogs. They have developed many relationships with local shelters, trainers, service dog programs, local animal control, and many more. ITAVR NC never shies away from a medical case; no matter the cost, they rescue dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds.


"In Memoriam: To Simon (left) and Pepper (right). Although your lives were too short, you inspired us to push forward, and you continue to impact us and the mission we started in your name. Gone far too early, but your memories live on in our hearts."


"Although some of the cases may break our hearts, they are quickly rebuilt by the resilience and strength that resonates from every dog. Our vision is to embrace every situation and inspire all those around us."
