Macon County German Shepherd Rescue

Dog rescue in Franklin, NC

We are a volunteer-based 501(c)(3) non-profit organization founded by mother-daughter duo, Cinnie Parkins and Ashley Foradada, in 2023. Our mission is to rescue neglected, abused, and abandoned German Shepherd Dogs from the streets, shelters, partner rescues, and owners who can no longer keep them and rehabilitate while fostering them until they can be adopted to their furever homes! We are a NO-KILL rescue. We are located in Macon County in Western North Carolina, but we work across the nation to save the Shepherds!
