Adoption First Animal Rescue

Adoption First Animal Rescue We are an animal rescue located in North Carolina! We specialize in pulling dogs and cats that are set to be euthanized at the local animal shelters.

We also run a pet pantry for those in need in our community. We are a nonprofit animal rescue based in Jacksonville, NC. We currently do dog and cat adoptions. Our dogs and cats come from shelters in the area that are at risk for euthanasia. For dogs or cats available, please check out our website at www.adoptionfirstanimalrescue.com

🐾 Meet Our Adoptables! 🐾

These lovely dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens are ready to find their forever homes! ❤️

Whether you're looking for a playful puppy, a loyal companion, a cuddly kitten, or a laid-back feline friend, we have wonderful animals waiting for a family to call their own.

Every adoption gives an animal a second chance and opens up space for us to help even more pets in need.

Take a look through our available pets and see if your new best friend is waiting for you! 🐶🐱

🐾 Protect your pup (and your family) from Leptospirosis! 🐾

Did you know that Lepto is a serious bacterial disease found in soil and water? It’s often spread by wildlife and can lead to severe kidney or liver failure in dogs. Even worse, it’s zoonotic, meaning it can pass from pets to humans.

As shown in the infographic, the Lepto vaccine is a safe and effective way to:
- Prevent severe, life-threatening illness.
- Reduce the shedding of bacteria into the environment.
- Protect your household and community.

If your dog loves puddles, lakes, or exploring areas with wildlife, they are at risk! Annual boosters are typically required to keep them safe.

👉 Talk to your vet today about adding the Lepto vaccine to your dog's wellness plan!

Please help if you can! More details on how you can help us is in the comments of this post. Thank you so much to all ou...

Mandi is hanging out at Buddies on Richlands Hwy for some much needed fun until she finds her forever family! ❤️

Mandi is a very playful loving girl. She is about 2 years old and a Border Collie mix with high energy.

Her adoption fee is only $200 and she is up to date on all vaccines, heartworm negative, and spayed.

Check her out on the website in the comments.

We love our partners! If you are in need of dog daycare or boarding for your own pup check out the Buddies website which is also in the comments! Mention this post and get a FREE day of boarding! (Not valid over holidays).

Taking photos of puppies seems like it would be all fun and games, right? 🐶✨ Well, let me tell you, it’s a lot like trying to get your kid to sit still on school picture day... they do NOT want to cooperate! 😂

Between the wiggles, the sudden urge to nap, and the obsession with sniffing the camera, capturing that perfect shot is a real challenge.

Here are some behind-the-scenes glimpses of what it takes to get those adorable adoption profile photos. 📸 Let's just say, the struggle is real!

What are some "not so perfect" photos you have gotten of your pets? Show us in the comments!
