Rescue FAQs

Rusty's Legacy rescues dogs from the Western Region of North Carolina. We pull dogs from high kill shelters, take in strays and accept owner surrenders when the shelter is the only other option for the dog.

Additional adoption info

All vet references are checked, landlords, homeowner regulations and City/County regulations are verified prior to adoption. Adoption fees range from $75.00 to $200.00 depending upon age, breed and medical interventions provided while in rescue.

All dogs are indoor/outdoor dogs, there will be no dog left on a chain EVER, fenced in yards are preferred. Certain breeds of dogs will require prior experience with the breed or breed type.
