It's a Dog's Life Rescue is a 501(c)(3) charitable all volunteer dog rescue organization. We are dedicated to rescuing dogs left homeless for whatever reason – dogs in shelters where they are at high risk of euthanasia due to pet overpopulation, dogs given up by their owners because of difficult circumstances, and those in danger of abuse or neglect. We spay, neuter, and provide medical care, and foster dogs through our network of volunteers until we get them adopted into their forever homes. It's a Dog's Life Rescue does not have a shelter. We rely on the kindness and generosity of animal lovers like you who open their hearts and homes to help us take care of the animal orphans that desperately need our help. We strive to work with area shelters and other rescue and humane organizations to develop a network of supporters and volunteers in order to create a better world for homeless pets.
We operate mostly out of Huntersville, NC, Lewisburg, WV and Blacksburg, VA however we're pulling animals from shelters all over NC, SC, VA, and WV.
Additional adoption info
To answer general questions you may have about the adoption process, please review the initial adoption guidelines below.
-All adopters must be 18 years of age and live in a place where pets are allowed. We will ask for proof of landlord approval before processing the adoption application if you are currently in a lease.

-All dogs come with the vetting appropriate for their age. The adoption fee of $175 covers this level of vetting and the follow up vetting of spaying/neutering the pet and administering a rabies vaccination.
-The adoption application must be filled out in its entirety and emailed to itsadogsliferescue1@gmail.com
