My name is Ruby - Melinda!

Please be patient for return contact. We are foster based and work full time jobs in addition to running the rescue. We will respond to all inquiries; it just may take a little time. The best way to contact is either sending email or messaging on Facebook.

All events are located on our Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/ariseanimalrescue

Most Saturdays you will find us at PetSmart on Western Blvd, Jacksonville, NC from 1pm - 5 pm

Arise Animal Rescue is a donation only, non-profit organization. We are a foster-based rescue which means all of the rescued animals are in homes with foster volunteers. Fosters ensure that the rescued animals are given a loving, temporary home. During this time, the fosters provide training skills, medical providence, and the necessary needs to recover from a life on the streets and the shelter. The rescue is given the chance to learn how to trust humans and to give/receive love.

Arise Animal Rescue goes to local high-kill shelters about twice a week to save dogs or cats on the euthanasia list. We ensure that these rescues are given age-appropriate vaccines, are spayed or neutered, microchipped (dogs only) and any other medical needs as necessary. The rescue has on average 50-80 animals at any given time in foster homes.

We take on many medical cases that require a lot of funds to pay for their medical needs and recovery. Some of our rescued animals have been shot, starved, parts of their bodies cut off, and/or beaten. As a rescue, we believe that every animal deserves a chance to fight for their life and we want to be able to give them the ability to do so.
For Arise Animal Rescue, it truly takes a village to help our rescued animals have a 2nd chance at a better and loving life.

Arise has weekly adoption events to help the rescued animals in foster homes have the chance to live a 2nd life with a new forever home.
