Saving Grace visits shelters across North Carolina to find adoptable dogs that just need a ‘second chance.’ We also take a lot of dogs in critical situations: dogs from puppy mills, or seized in cruelty cases, or abandoned in natural disasters or at a veterinary clinic when their owner dies. We are not a public facility and can not accept any stray, abandoned or surrendered pets directly. Our role is to get rescued animals medically and emotionally ready for adoption and a great life! Saving Grace was established in 2004 at a private residence and farm with the goal of serving those animals most in need of help in North Carolina. Animals come from areas with extremely limited resources where euthanasia rates are high. The large majority of these underserved animals arrive at Saving Grace with limited to no prior medical care. As a non-profit, Saving Grace relies solely on donations to provide this much needed medical care and housing in order to make adoption possible for these many animals. Saving Grace strives to provide a more natural and non-traditional shelter environment for dogs to interact with others and exhibit their natural behaviors while awaiting their forever homes. Our Funny Farm setting allows adopters to mingle and interact with a variety of dogs and choose a new companion based on temperament and suitability for their home and family. Saving Grace is operated in majority by a hardworking and dedicated volunteer and foster base. This team is dedicated to finding an ever-changing but always special group of dogs an equally special family like yours.
