Lab Rescue is coming to Spring Fling 2025!

The Doghouse Project is joining us for their first ever Spring Fling! They are a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit that provides doghouses, food, treats, straw, safe tethers, and other goods to outdoor dogs. They also provide rescue support when it’s needed most. One of our biggest recent accomplishments has been successfully advocating for changes to the animal welfare ordinances in Pender County!

Every kennel cleaned, every supply delivered, every difficult conversation had with an owner, and every ordinance improved is done with one goal in mind: giving dogs a safer, better life.

The Doghouse Project focuses not only on immediate intervention, but long-term change. From helping individual dogs like Chance rebuild confidence and health, to working with counties to strengthen animal welfare ordinances, our mission is rooted in sustainable impact. We believe education, community involvement, and collaboration are just as important as rescue itself.

The Doghouse Project was founded with a simple but powerful mission: to help dogs in need stay safe, warm, and loved. What began as a grassroots effort fueled by compassion quickly grew into a community-supported 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the lives of dogs facing hardship.

Through outreach, advocacy, and hands-on support, The Doghouse Project works to provide essential resources such as proper shelter, supplies, and assistance to families who may be struggling but want to keep their pets. Built on the belief that every dog deserves protection and care, the organization continues to expand its impact one dog at a time.

Through persistence, community support, and ongoing communication with county officials, The Doghouse Project played a role in pushing for stronger protections for dogs. These ordinance changes mean clearer standards, better accountability, and improved living conditions for animals across the county.

The Doghouse Project is just getting started, and they are committed to making a lasting difference in the lives of dogs and the people who love them. They are still growing. Still building. Still fighting for the ones who don’t have a voice.

This wasn’t just about one dog — it was about creating lasting change. Because of these updates, countless dogs in Pender County will now have better protection and a safer future.
