The Sunburst Foundation is a group of people dedicated to rescuing dogs from high-kill shelters and placing them in permanent homes. Most of the dogs are in foster homes, where they are already trained to be the perfect companion when they are adopted.
WE ALSO DO COURTESY POSTINGS FOR DOGS AND CATS AT PENDER CTY ANIMAL CONTROL.

This rescue doesn’t have any adoptable pets right now – check out adoptable pets nearby or start a custom pet search below.
We prefer adoptions to be done in the local area however, we know that many perfect homes for our doggies are elsewhere, and depending on the situation, we are willing to consider out of town adoptions.
Additional adoption info
Our adoption process begins with you meeting a puppy pal of your interest. If we feel the match would be great for you and the dog, we encourage a trial foster period for potential adopters to get to know their new friend.
If the fostering works out, then the next step is adoption!!!! A donation between $125 and $200 per dog is requested, depending on the specifics of each case, and then the match is permanent.
