Death Row
All of these animals desperately need your help. We work hard everyday with 501 c3 non profit rescues to help these animals find safety and forever homes. Apply today to become a rescue partner!
Foster
Share your home, time and affection with a shelter animal while it awaits rescue. Becoming a foster will bring much needed respite to an animal facing life in a kennel for days, weeks and sometimes months at a time.
Donate
Because you give, they have HOPE! Your donations help us to continue our mission to save animals!
Volunteer
Come spend time with the animals. Take them for a walk, give them some TLC and help out with their daily care. Every little bit makes a difference.

Rudolph
Male, hound, 1 year old, 57lbs
Dog Friendly: yes
HW status: positive
Hold is up: 12/11/23
Rudolph is a super mellow hound dog. He showed up in a local's yard and liked their dogs so much he didn't want to leave. Rudolph is a friendly guy and does really well on a leash. Outside in the yard he is a typical hound and uses his nose to explore his area.
Rudolph is at the Vance County Shelter. We are the networking group for the shelter. Their hold is up 12/11/23 and is in danger of being euthanized any time if the
shelter is over capacity.
All adoptions are handled directly by the Vance County shelter. If you are a 501c3 rescue interested in pulling
