Are you or do you know a Vet who will donate some time?
Saving Grace is in need of Veterinarians who would volunteer to come on site for a few hours during the business week to provide Heartworm treatments and Wellness Exams. The main task of the Heartworm treatments is the injections.
Give a little Bit!
Did you know even the littlest gift amount goes a long way in helping? Especially with medical needs. Ask Catalina, Paxton, Dorian, Brinkley, Bismark and Xavier!

News From the Funny Farm: Winter 2020
Animal Sheltering comes with so many challenges in a normal year. It is a world of limited resources and needs that feel like they will never be filled. With each dog I see leave Saving Grace (SG) with a happy family, there are so many others left behind in rural shelters that never got the chance.
News From the Funny Farm: Spring/Summer 2020
While the current events of 2020 have most definitely presented a new situation for us to navigate, honestly it’s no different for the population of animals we serve. We can agree that animals, and the care they need and deserve, is indeed essential. So is a chance at a loving home.

November Tips & Tricks: How to Introduce Your Dogs to your Fosters
Let them get to know each other slowly and carefully. Have them meet on neutral territory. A short walk is a great way for them to meet. Keep them about 10’ apart at first and then gradually let them get closer. Let them sniff and get to know each other. This can either be done in the backyard or on the walk. Monitor their interactions outside before introducing the new foster inside the home....

Thank you Betty and all of our community!

Happy New Year!
For the year end wrap-up we like to take a step back and reflect on our changes, improvements, community impact and future journey.
More and more animals need help
It has been an especially difficult year for all of us. It has been a tough year for animal shelters, especially in rural NC. They are literally overrun with dogs and cats. Many end up being euthanized.
