Gift Homeless Cats and Dogs The Chance For Life, Love and Happiness!
Dear Paws for Life NC friends:
Will you gift homeless cats and dogs the chance for life, love and happiness?
With a HUGE, HUGE, HUGE thanks to Chris Leith Kia of Wake Forest, our rescue is holding its first-ever car raffle for a cause. The Grand Prize is a 2017 Kia Optima LX. There will be three runner-up cash prizes in the amounts of $5,000, $2,500 and $1,000 up for grabs as well! By purchasing a raffle ticket at https://go.rallyup.
Our mission is to give homeless pets a new chance at life through our in-home dog and cat fostering program, and to reduce the homeless pet population (future shelter residents) through the combined efforts of our spay and neuter program, our Cats for Hire program, and our new school-based Homeless Pet Clubs partnerships.
Our volunteers have been hard at work in fulfilling this mission. In 2017 to date, we have taken in over 600 cats & dogs and adopted out over 450. We also facilitated the transport of 107 dogs to rescues in the north and sent out 106 spay/neuter vouchers.

Please Help Goldie

Goldie needs our help to raise money for her heartworm treatment, teeth extractions, and cancerous tumor removal!
This sweet gal was found in an abandoned house that was condemned and due to be demolished. Before knocking the place down they checked and found her and several other dogs inside. Animal control picked her and the others up, and she entered the shelter severely underweight at just 45lbs. Her age is estimated at 5 years old and she tested heartworm positive. Her front teeth were all worn down to nothing with the roots exposed, 2 of her canines were broken with roots showing, most likely from eating trash and tearing open canned food.
Luckily we were able to get her teeth removed and during her spay came across some cancerous tumors that had to be removed! She was covered in fleas with a skin infection but after some time in her loving foster home she is doing so much better! Goldie has come a long way but still has a ways to go.
Now that she has had a constant supply of food for a few weeks, we estimate she weighs about 65 pounds. She is house trained, crate trained, and can’t wait to get healthy again so she can go off to her forever home!
