Thank you for stopping by to see the dogs ready for adoption. If this is your first visit to our website and are interested in adopting, you will want to first visit our Adoption Info page to see our adoption process and complete an application. If you are interested in meeting some of our available dogs or if you would like to talk to us about volunteer opportunities, come see us at an upcoming Meet and Greet event.
There are typically between 35 and 45 dogs in our program at any given time – some will stay with us longer than others as they overcome their medical or behavioral challenges. The costs to run our rescue are well over $200,000 per year. Click here to learn how you can support NRGRR rescue, rehab, and adopt these dogs in need. Visit our Blarney's Fund page to read about some of our dogs who came into our program with serious medical issues and learn how we helped them recover.
Note: You must be a resident of North Carolina to adopt one of our dogs. If you live more than three hours from the Raleigh-Durham area, adopting from us may be challenging.
Reminder for approved applicants: To apply for one or more available dogs, contact your applications advisor. Don't know who your advisor is? Email NRGRRapplications@hotmail.com.
Meet and Greet Lineup
We will attempt to provide a list of available dogs scheduled to attend our Meet and Greet by Thursday evening or Friday prior to each event. Unfortunately, not all of our available dogs are able to attend every Meet and Greet and last minute or unforeseeable circumstances may prevent a listed dog from attending or they may not be in attendance for the entire time. If you are an approved applicant, please contact your application adviser if you have specific questions about a particular dog.
Click here to fill out and submit your application. Please be prepared to fill out the form in one sitting. It will take approximately 45 minutes to complete, so please have appropriate phone numbers and reference check information with you before you begin. Be concise when you are answering questions on the form. If you have problems with the form, let us know by contacting us at:

Referral Dogs (not in our program)
We provide listings for referral dogs and other North Carolina dog rescue organizations as a service to the community, but we do not screen dogs to determine their suitability for adoption. We make no representations regarding the accuracy of the information provided by the owners, fosters, and rescues, and we assume no responsibility for the condition or behavior of the dogs.
Brody
Brody is a 4 year old, purebred European Boxer, 68 pounds, neutered, up to date on all vaccinations and is on Advantix Plus monthly. He has had a murmur since birth that is less than a Grade one (on a scale of 1 to 6) and hasn’t changed. He’s checked at his annual exam. Brody also was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis when he was 2. This is common in boxers and mostly controlled by diet.
As you can see, he loves his tennis balls. These are his favorite! He even sleeps with them. He is housebroken, knows all of the basic manners and loves his humans! Brody is a dog that can’t wait to go to the vet's office. He gets beyond excited when he sees humans. He may do best in an only dog home. He goes to daycare and does well in a controlled environment. He likes to play, he just needs to have proper introductions, a firm handler to let him know he’s not the boss. He’s extremely protective and can misread a situation. He does fine with a reminder that all is okay.
He is a very lovable, goofy, snugly and playful boy who just wants a family to love and to love him. If you are interested in meeting Brody, please contact Kim at 919-616-5746 or kebull11@gmail.com.

Cause N Dog Rescue - Their Story
Located in Snow Hill, NC, Cause N Dog Rescue is a non-profit organization. We are not paid to save the dogs we do, we choose to save them. Despite what people believe we are not funded by any government or entity to keep this rescue running. We are supported strictly by donations and volunteers. In even simpler terms, we are a group of people who spend our time and money to save dogs. More often than not these animals are brought to us after being neglected and mistreated. All other times they have been dumped, left behind, and completely forgotten about by the same people who were supposed to love them forever. Developed through our own funds and hard work, we have created this non-profit organization to bring awareness to a cause close to our hearts. Every week dogs are suffering and in need of rescuing right here in our county. Those that are to be euthanized at the county shelter due to lack of space for more dogs, we save them too. As long as we can and have the space and resources to save them we do because our Non-Profit Rescue is a “no kill” facility. Our dogs learn how to live indoors as a family dog, get leash trained, temperament tested and most importantly, taught to love. All are brought to the vet, tested and treated for heartworms and parasites, fully vaccinated protecting them from parvo and rabies, given preventions for heartworms, fleas and ticks, as well as spayed and neutered.
