Friends Forever, Greensboro, NC, is "... a small, private, all-breed animal orphanage . . . dedicated to finding permanent companion pet homes for animals in need. We are available daily by appointment. Our rescue pets live in an in-home environment until they are adopted. Our adoption process includes an application, a trial visit, an adoption contract with fee and follow-up after placement. All of our rescues are healthy, completely vetted, socialized, crate trained companion pets waiting to be adopted. We are thankful for each and every forever home we adopt to and appreciate all inquiries into adopting one of our rescue pets."

The Haven -- Friends for Life, Raeford, NC
Founder Linden Spear sometimes won't give up for adoption the seniors she rescues, but instead keeps them herself. The reason? She says, "Some of those dogs are just too old to be told they've been dropped off at a shelter." If you can give an older dog a really good home, though, she might consider letting one go.

Happy Hills Animal Foundation, Inc., Staley, NC
Happy Hills is a non-profit rescue group in North Carolina dedicated to providing nutritious meals, shelter, and veterinary care to needy animals and finding loving, responsible homes for as many abandoned and abused animals as possible. They accept any and all breeds. This organization often has senior dogs, and has been very successful in placing them. They never put a dog down due to age, unless there is a serious, untreatable, fatal illness and it is a kindness to end their suffering. Happy Hills Animal Foundation, Inc.

Winnabow, NC -- Paws' Place
The Paw's Place mission: "(1) We save pets - the abandoned, the abused and the neglected, whose previous backgrounds were ALL filled with neglect due to overpopulation and uninformed owners, who lacked the foresight to spay or neuter, or to provide heartworm preventative for their domestic pets. (2) We nurse them back to health. (3) We provide a sanctuary for those that are unable to be adopted. (4) And, most important of all, we find them loving homes - no matter how long it takes. Paw's Place receives unwanted, abused and neglected animals from the community, and in return, provides healthy companion animals. Paw's Place has several programs with the community schools to provide animal care, education, and volunteer work programs. From August 1999 to December 2003, we have adopted over 565 dogs and puppies and house another 100." Paw's Place, Inc., 3701 Boiling Spring Road, Winnabow, NC 28479. Phone: 910-845-PAWS.
