One Life Rescue

Animal rescue in Winston Salem, NC

One Life Rescue is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to reducing the number of animals abandoned, neglected and eventually destroyed.
We are committed to the wellbeing and protection of the animals in our community and across the United States.

I looked at all the caged animals in the shelter… the cast-offs of human society.
I saw in their eyes love and hope, fear and dread, sadness and betrayal.
And I was angry. “God,” I said, “this is terrible! Why don’t you do something?”
God was silent for a moment and then He spoke softly. “I have done something,” He replied. “I created You.”

Rescue FAQs

We are based out of Winston Salem and generally serve the Triad, but want to help animals all over NC and the US!

Additional adoption info

We require an adoption application be completed when interested in adopting from our group. We perform home visits, vet and reference checks before adoption is complete. And at the time of adoption we require an adoption contract be signed. We ask for a $125 donation amount for all animals.
