Animal rescue in Salisbury, NC

We are a small non-profit rescue group. We rescue abandoned and stray sick and injured dogs and cats. Occasionally we will get a rabbit or some other kind of small animal although that is very rare. We also help low income people get medical care for a sick or injured pet and also provide help with food for pets. We always need food and litter donations as well as funds to help people with medical needs. We run a Spay/Neuter Clinic once a month with the Animal Care Clinic of Salisbury and ongoing with the China Grove Animal Hospital.
