What is Saving Grace All About?
CBS17 Feature on Saving Grace
Saving Grace in the News

I know sometimes we sound like a broken record but at this moment in time we have a lot, and I mean a LOT of dogs in our program in need of some serious medical care.
Meet Molly and tour the farm
Molly Goldston started Saving Grace in 2004. Find out more about this amazing place and its programs!
How do I adopt from Saving Grace?
We provide a unique adoption experience to pair you with dogs that fit your needs and profile.
Host a Dog for a Weekend!
Most weekends, we have dogs that would love to sleepover at YOUR house.
Join our Foster Team
Before our guests are ready for adoption, they often need to spend some time in foster getting healthy and socialized. Do you have space in your house and your heart to help out?
Volunteer with Us!
There is always a lot to do both at the farm and off to support the mission of Saving Grace. Let's see if there's something that you can do to help us out!

She’s leash-trained, and we mean fully, like walks at a heel, and she’s ready to learn more! She’s highly affectionate, so sweet, and loves a ball! Personality overruns this girl!

Host Update for Glitz! See what her host said about their time with Glitz while she looks for her furever family:![]()
“Glitz is a great puppy! Thank you for allowing me to take part in this program and host her for the weekend! She has the cutest puppy dog eyes and wrinkly face. Her ears are very expressive as well. She is a little timid, but warmed up pretty quickly. Glitz was very curious about the cat and just wanted to play with him. He was timid though, so they kept their distance. If they were together for longer, I'm sure they would get along as Glitz was very good about approaching him cautiously. She also was a big fan of other dogs. She got to spend time with two other dogs, about 55 pounds each. It took her about 15 minutes to warm up to them, but after that she wanted to be in on all the playing action. She loved running around with the other dogs and curling up for a nap afterwards. She seemed more confident when she was around another dog than when she was solo. She thinks she is a lap dog and wants to be close to people. She was not around any children this weekend. ![]()
Glitz walks well on a leash for a puppy. Most of the time she follows where she is led, but sometimes she gets sidetracked and wants to check something out, as to be expected for a puppy. She does a good job of going to the bathroom outside, and will go on command as well. She is still a puppy though and needs a little more time to know what to chew and what not to chew. She also needs more time before she will be completely comfortable in her crate but she settles down after a little bit. At night, she will let you know when she needs to use the bathroom. Glitz still isn't sure about stairs and probably just needs practice. She did very well in the car and layed down for a nap each time she took a ride. She is a quick learner, and will sit and sometimes lay down for a treat or a toy. Glitz was a joy to have for the weekend! She was a constant source of entertainment and energy! ” ![]()

Meet Josie! This sweet and beautiful girl is friendly and playful and loves to meet people! She is very social and gets along well with both dogs and people! Her host family said she loves to snuggle and is very curious and loves to explore her environment. She rode well in the car and did great in her crate! It took her a little time to warm up in her host home, so she will do great with a family who can help her develop her trust and confidence. Fill out an adoption application and make an appointment to meet this wonderful girl!

Host Update for Figment! See what her host said about their time with Figment while she looks for her furever family:![]()
"This sweet girl is the total package! She is gentle, cuddly, adventurous, and so so loving! She warmed up to us instantly and felt like part of the family! She is crate, leash, and potty trained and is picking up on new commands like “sit” and “come” so so quickly. She is very food motivated and only needs a little redirection to be a well- mannered pooch! She was patient and gentle with our three year old dog and would do well in a home with an older/calmer dog. Figment’s favorite things are cuddling, giving hugs (yes she will gently jump up and place her arms around you), and naps in the sunshine! She is very curious and would love to have a fenced in yard to spend lots of time outside to practice her running"! ![]()

Host Update for delicious Della! See what her host said about their time with Della while she looks for her furever family:![]()
"It was a pleasure having Della in our home for the whole week! On the way from the rescue she did well in the car and just laid down. She was greeted by the two kids that live in the house (7,8) and did very well - not jumping on them and allowed them to pet her and be close to her. She also did well with the other dog in the house, who was very interested in her, but she didn’t seem to mind him constantly sniffing. Throughout with week we went on numerous walks which she did well on, she did have some light pulling on the leash but was easy to redirect. When dogs barked she didn’t mind at all she would just keep walking. At times she we even look back to see if I was still there. She made herself comfortable on the floor, then discovered the couch! She preferred the comfort of my room, where she would lay on my bed, in my spot, or in the kennel she had. She does tend to get excited when you let her out of the kennel!
We worked on the commands “sit”, “lay down” and “place” for her kennel, which she did listen to and follows correctly. And when she is focused she does amazing. She is such an affectionate girl and just wants to me loved on and petted constantly. She will even place her paw on you when she wants attention and let’s you hold It for awhile! She also did very good at using the bathroom outside and we had not a single accident the whole week! At night, she enjoyed being in my bed or in the kennel which she slept in without a sound. She likes belly rubs and car rides as she jumped in my passenger seat one morning when I was starting my car to warm up for work like she was asking “where are we going?” Overall, Della is the sweetest dog I ever met, with an absolute heart of gold. She really is such a total love-bug and would be great in any home that would have her. She is a good listener when she’s calm and even slightly excited. If I could adopt her, she would honestly be home with me forever without a second thought. My family and I enjoyed giving her all the love we could and I am really hoping someone gives this sweet girl a great and loving home. She truly deserves the best! Thank you Saving Grace for allowing me to host her. She was a perfect fit! 💖💕

Fun was had by all, including the dogs, last Wednesday when the morning shift workers celebrated their Shift Leader Kat's birthday! Wearing her favorite color and the obligatory party hats, the team gathered for brownies and snacks and a lot of laughs! Volunteers at the farm turn into good friends, and you can be part of it by filling out a volunteer application and attending orientation (next one is April 1, but they happen regularly!)![]()

The 4th grade class at Wake Prep conducted a coin collection and supply drive to benefit Saving Grace! This week one of their teachers dropped off much-needed supplies and a monetary donation. We would like to thank all of the Wake Prep students for their generosity and support of Saving Grace! The dogs say THANK YOU too!![]()
