Adoption

Foster a Dog

Click here for an application!

While our dogs wait to find permanent homes, they are all fostered by local families who love dogs.

As we have no permanent facilities, we are always looking for families who will temporarily care for a dog while they await their forever family.

We cover all medical expenses, and provide food, a crate, and other needed items while you foster.

CALI

Cali

Cali was brought to our Emergency Hospital after being hit by a car. She had a fx tibia and a sublux of her hip that was going to require surgery. However, first she needed someone to take responsibility for her care. Well, one look into her sweet eyes, and we just couldn't say no. The alternative was NOT an option. BUT we need the help of our village. Estimated cost between 4,000-6000 dollars. She's worth every penny but this will hit our funds hard.... Will you help Cali? ANY amount helps.

UPDATE: Cali had an additional fracture of her other back leg which wasn't seen on original X-Rays!!! Her bill so far is 6300 dollars. She's still hospitalized and will need physical therapy to help her recover. We desperately need help from our village!
Any amount will help. Thank you!!!

Don't worry Cali, we gotchya'

‼️What you can do if you find a pup in a car alone: assess the situation, notify owner if possible, call 911 or animal control if animal seems to be in danger, stay with the animal until they are safe, and document everything including information of the car.

Love taking your pup out with you now that the weather is warmer? It is strongly advised that you NOT leave your pup unattended in a car, especially with higher temps!

☀️ Cracking windows has been proven to NOT make a difference!

☀️ A 70 degree day can reach up to 100 degrees inside a car in twenty minutes!🥵

☀️ 31 states have laws in place regarding the matter with NC being a state that allows the appropriate authority to enter the car by any means if they determine the animal to be in distress.

✅Make plans to travel with another adult and leave on air conditioning to a avoid heat stroke or your dog escaping from an open window.

Rainbow Bridge

I am so very excited to announce that
Carolina Beach will now have a
Rainbow Bridge!!!

Special thanks to the Friends of Carolina Beach Parks and Greenways for making this happen.

My husband and I had this vision for a couple of years and the team from Carolina Beach made it happen!!!

The only other Rainbow Bridge was at Lake Lure, which sadly was washed away by Hurricane Helene.

It is in the process of being replaced, but we wanted one down here in our part of the state so we could honor those who have passed!

Please click HERE to get more information!

HEARTFELT THANKS TO THE TOWN OF CAROLINA BEACH FOR MAKING THIS HAPPEN

FLOWER

OR

Sweet Flower was found in a ditch at only 8 weeks old and brought to our emergency vet. We were called to see if we would be willing to take her under rescue. She's unable to bear weight on her back legs currently. Although her x-rays don't show a fracture, she definitely has some type of spinal compression. When we went to meet her, her eyes just said "Please give me a chance" sooooo we are!
She may or may not regain function of her back legs, but our vets and we don't know yet. She will likely need an MRI or CT scan to get a definitive diagnosis. We just couldn't say no, but we need your help!
Just like with people, MRIs and/or CT scans are expensive. Sweet Flower is not in any pain and is just a happy little gal, so as long as she wants to keep fighting, so will we. With your help, we're hoping that we can help Flower have the wonderful life she deserves. Any amount helps! 

THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT TO SAVE THE LIVES OF RESCUED PUPS WHO NEED US. YOUR HELP SHOWS THEM THE LOVE THEY SO DESERVE!
