Cause for Paws is dedicated to bringing hope to homeless pets, one rescue at a time. We strive to create brighter futures by connecting animals in need with the loving homes they deserve.
Since 2015, we have saved over 4,000 animals, providing them with the second chances they truly earn. By combining our rescue efforts with our community-focused thrift stores, we create a sustainable cycle of support that helps pets thrive while offering affordable goods to our neighbors.
We are a foster-based organization that rescues animals from local shelters and difficult situations. Because we operate without a traditional shelter facility, our pets receive the food, love, and essential medical care—including spaying, neutering, and vaccinations—they need while living in a supportive home environment.
Adoption is a joyful partnership that transforms lives, and our team is committed to helping you find the perfect new family member. When you adopt, your fee covers vital veterinary care, ensuring your new companion starts their life with you on the healthiest possible footing.
Whether you are ready to open your heart to a new pet, interested in becoming a foster, or would like to volunteer your time, there are many ways to get involved. We invite you to visit our rescue website to view our adoptable pets or stop by one of our Raleigh thrift store locations to support our ongoing efforts.
