Racing for Rescues 2025

Since 1987, we have helped more than 20,000 dogs and cats find their forever home. $0.88 of every dollar raised goes DIRECTLY to the animals in our care.

Closes 18/05/2025

As the oldest no-kill rescue in Wake County (NC), our mission is to champion homeless cats and dogs who are healthy or treatable in the quest to find their forever homes and engage with our community to promote responsible pet ownership–ultimately reducing future generations of homeless animals.
