WISHLIST WEDNESDAY and a video of our first opossums being released!

Thanks to a generous donation, we were able to purchase two of these adorable tree trunk hideaways for our opossums, and they absolutely love them! We’d love to add 3–4 more so that every wildlife enclosure can have one.

We are also currently in need of extra-small and small harnesses, as well as martingale collars. We have been taking in a large number of semi-feral and extremely fearful dogs, and it’s important that they are safely and securely contained while adjusting to life in their foster homes.

Supplies for our wildlife enclosures are always appreciated as well. We continue to grow our wildlife program and are constantly working to build up the resources needed to properly care for these animals.

Dog food that does not contain chicken is another current need. Our last bag went to Stormi, and as her skin continues to heal, we don’t want to risk any potential chicken-related sensitivities or allergies.

Lastly, we are searching for a refrigerator to help store produce, meat, formula, and other wildlife food items. With the number of animals currently in our care, we simply don’t have enough storage space for the donations we receive. We don’t need anything fancy—just a refrigerator that stays cold. A basic garage fridge would be perfect, and a freezer isn’t necessary.
If anyone has one they’re no longer using and would be willing to donate, we would be incredibly grateful.

Every donation, big or small, helps us continue providing the best possible care for the animals who depend on us.

Thank you all for your continued support!

Meet Megan ❤️

At just 6.5 pounds, Megan is a tiny girl with a very big heart. Estimated to be around 4 years old, she came from a difficult hoarding situation and is still learning that the world can be a safe and loving place.

Because of her past, Megan is understandably nervous and takes time to trust new people. If you’re willing to give her patience, understanding, and space to move at her own pace, you’ll discover the sweetest, gentlest little companion.

Megan is incredibly kind and wouldn’t hurt a fly. She finds comfort in the company of other dogs and seems to feel most confident when she has a canine friend nearby. Once she feels safe, her loving personality begins to shine through.

What Megan needs most is a calm, patient home that will allow her to blossom on her own timeline. In return, you’ll earn the trust of a dog who has so much love to give and who will love her person unconditionally.

🌹 Meet Rose 🌹 **New foster or adopter needed**

Rose has been watching other dogs find their forever homes while she patiently waits for her turn. We can't understand how this incredible girl keeps getting overlooked. While we'd love nothing more than to find her forever family, she is also in need of a new foster home.

At just 2 years old and 40 lbs, Rose is the perfect mix of adventure buddy and cuddle companion. She loves being outside, whether it's chasing a ball, exploring a trail, or simply soaking up the sunshine in the yard. And when the day is done? She's happy to curl up right beside her favorite person.

Rose's journey hasn't been easy. She was found starving and suffering from a broken leg, but she never gave up. Today, she's healthy, happy, and ready to leave her past behind for good.

✨ Why you'll love Rose:
🐾 Great with people and kids
🐾 Housebroken and crate trained
🐾 Loves fetch and outdoor adventures
🐾 Best in a home with a fenced in yard as she is still learning her leash manners (rescue will pay for training to help with these skills)
🐾 Loyal and affectionate
🐾 OK with cats
🐾 Dog selective for dogs her size or bigger
🐾 Will be your biggest fan and constant companion

After everything she's been through, she deserves to know what it's like to truly belong. Could you be the family she's been waiting for?

💕 Apply to adopt Rose at ddrnc.org and help us finally get this sweet girl home.

Please be on the lookout for Brutus anyone in this area of Leland!!

We’ve received so many messages asking about sweet Stormi, and we wanted to share an update on this precious girl.

It’s hard to put into words what it must have felt like for her — left outside, her little body covered in painful, infected skin, surviving off cat food and whatever scraps she could find just to stay alive.

But despite everything she’s been through, Stormi is still so incredibly gentle. So trusting. So full of love.

She has settled beautifully into her foster and future adoptive home and is finally getting the care she deserved all along. She now gets medicated baths multiple times a week, antibiotics, probiotics, vitamins, and special sensitive skin food to help her heal from the inside out. For the first time in a long time, she’s safe. She’s comfortable. She’s wanted.

The road to recovery won’t happen overnight, but every day her skin heals a little more — and so does her heart.

Thank you to everyone who cared about this sweet girl, shared her story, donated, and rooted for her. Stormy’s life is already changing because people chose compassion over looking away. ❤️

🐾 Meet Peanut! 🐾

Looking for a best friend who’s always ready for the next adventure and the best cuddle buddy after a long day? Peanut might just be your perfect match! ❤️

Peanut is a 1.5-year-old Mountain Cur/Cattle Dog mix weighing around 40 pounds. This handsome boy is full of energy and absolutely loves the outdoors. Whether it’s hiking trails, exploring new places, playing fetch, or just running around the yard, Peanut is happiest when he’s out having fun with his people! ☀️🐶

After he’s burned off all that energy, Peanut turns into the sweetest couch companion. Don’t be surprised if he curls up right beside you for snuggles after a day of adventures. 🛋️💕

✨ Peanut’s Highlights:
• Good with other dogs
• Good with children
• Loves people
• Adventure-ready
• Sweet and cuddly after playtime

Peanut would thrive with an active family that can match his energy and include him in all of life’s fun moments — whether that’s exploring outdoors, playing together, or cozying up on the couch at the end of the day.

Could Peanut be the missing piece to your family? 🐾❤️

Looking for a Foster for the sweet Senior gal. Aged at approximately 10 years old and 12 pounds, the sweet girl is looking for a foster family or Foster to adopt. She was found after being hit by a car and no owner has come forward for her. She is fine medically and is now trying to get out of the vets office and into a home.

Update: bloodwork and X-rays came back fine but she does have cataracts. Vet is guessing at least 10 years old but could be closer to 12-14 years old. A foster from the vets office took her home over this past weekend since they were closed who has cats and she was not bothered by them, but we are unsure how much she can actually see to know if she even knew they were there
