Saving Grace

Saving Grace is a private shelter that serves homeless animals across the rural part of NC and beyond. Established in 2004 at a private residence and farm the main goal to serve the most in need areas and animals in our state. Animals come from areas with extremely limited resources options. Dogs coming to Saving Grace often have no alternative opportunities for a future as Saving Grace strives to assist counties and areas most in need with some of the highest euthanasia rates in the country. The large majority of these underserved animals arrive at Saving Grace with limited to no prior medical care. As a non-profit, Saving Grace relies solely on donations to provide this much needed medical care and housing in order to make adoption possible for these many animals.
