Foothills Canine Rescue
Changing Lives, One Dog at a Time
Our mission is to find loving forever homes for unwanted, abandoned, and homeless dogs in Caldwell County, North Carolina. We are dedicated to creating a community where every dog is cherished and every home is filled with love.
Our Journey
Founded in 2008 by the late Judy Cary, we began as a foster-based rescue and have grown steadily to better serve our community. Today, our efforts include The Bunch Anderson Foster Suites and an Adoption Events Center, allowing us to help hundreds of dogs each year.
How We Help
Foothills Canine Rescue is a 100% volunteer-led organization that operates through a robust network of foster homes and our specialized on-site facility. We are proud to be a no-kill rescue, meaning we always do our absolute best to ensure a positive, live outcome for every dog in our care. Our expansion into the Foothills Canine Health Clinic represents our ongoing commitment to providing essential medical support for our residents.
Your Role in Our Mission
Adoption is the start of a beautiful partnership, and we are here to help you find the perfect companion to share your life with. We take the time to get to know our dogs individually, ensuring that every placement is a thoughtful match for both the animal and your family. We believe that life is truly better with a rescue dog.
