Do you have a physical address?
Carolina Canine Rescue (CCR) does not have a shelter where you can come by and meet the pets. Volunteers foster rescued animals and keep them in their homes until adopted.
Can you help me rehome my pet?
CCR does not have a shelter to take in animals. For emergencies, such as abuse, Animal Control is called. We ask pet owners to bring their pet to their local shelter ONLY as a last resort. Here are a few suggestions.
- Ask responsible family, friends or co-workers if they can keep your pet. This way you know it is going to a good home.
- You can ask around to different foster homes, rescue groups or sanctuaries, but be prepared to hear that they are full. If you have a purebred there are rescue groups that take specific breeds. We are always looking for volunteers to help foster adoptable pets. Unfortunately, there are just too many animals and not enough families.
- Place ads at Vet’s Office, Dog Grooming Services and Pet Stores, and where pet supplies are sold.
- When advertising through the internet, newspaper or locally PLEASE carefully screen potential owners. You can advertise through the PetFinder Forum or other Pet-Friendly Forums. Craigslist and Freecycle.com are other options.
- DO NOT leave your pet stranded to fend for itself! This is the worst thing to do. The animal will get hungry, thirsty, sick, and eventually SUFFER a long, painful death alone.
How does the Spay/Neuter Program work?
Transportation is provided in a climate controlled vehicle from PetSense in Mt. Airy to the Forsyth Spay and Neuter Clinic in Kernersville where dog/cat is spayed or neutered by the clinic’s licensed veterinarian staff. Preregistration is required! Please call Melanie at 336-786-5256 for more information. Drop off time for preregistered pets is 8:00-8:30 a.m. in front of PetSense every other Monday. Pets will be returned to their owners in front of PetSense that same afternoon at 4:30 p.m. Drop off/pick up time can be flexible to meet your schedule. If you need to contact the clinic, call 336-723-7550. This program is open to the public. See Spay/Neuter web page for detailed information.
What do I do if I suspect an animal is being abused?
If you suspect an animal is being abused please call Animal Control IMMEDIATELY. If there are children or elderly parents in that home chances are they are being abused as well. NO ABUSE IS O.K.
In some cases, kind owners are limited in what they can do and don’t like to ask for help. Their pet is their only companion. Offer to take the dog for a walk, or a bath, or pick up an extra bag of dog food and leave it at their back door. A little kindness goes a long way.
