About Us

Rainbow Animal Rescue is a no-kill rescue based in North Eastern North Carolina. We are a non profit, 501(c)(3) rescue organization. We started our rescue in an effort to help the many unwanted, abandoned and mistreated animals in North Carolina and the surrounding areas. We foster pets in our homes until we can find loving 'forever' homes for them.

We have adult dogs and puppies coming in to the rescue every week, so keep checking back. If you are interested in a certain breed, feel free to email with your interest. We also are in desperate need of foster homes. Many dogs and puppies are at the Halifax pound and are running out of time. If you think you can open your heart and home to these babies, please call or write. These dogs really do deserve a second chance.

Donations of your time are always welcome. We are always looking for good foster homes (really need these), help with transports, fundraising, etc. Even a few hours a month can make a difference. If you think you would like to help out, please write or email. Cash donations are always gratefully accepted, too. Donations may be made by clicking here. You will be linked to PayPal, a secure online payment service. You can donate with cash or a credit card, they accept both methods. Your donations are tax deductible. Thank you!

If you are interested in adopting a pet from our rescue, please fill out our Adoption Application Form or email us. We do not ship pets, but can work with you to arrange transport.

Because we have no formal shelter nor set hours yet, a scheduled visit is required to view one of our animals. Please email us to schedule a time to meet your newest family member. If you would like to meet more than one pet when you visit, this can be arranged.
