🌳 Meet Park! 🌳

Park is a 12-week-old male kitten who was found all by himself—perched in a tree right in front of the shelter, thanks to a caring citizen who spotted him. ❤️

This little adventurer may have started out high above the ground, but now he’s safe and ready to find a forever home where he’ll never have to climb alone again.

Come meet Park and let him charm his way right into your heart!

🐾💙 Meet Liam — The Sweetest Underbite in Town! 💙🐾

Liam is a 9-month-old, 35-pound heartthrob with the cutest little underbite you’ve ever seen! 😍

Even though he’s still just a pup, Liam has a calm, gentle spirit that makes him an absolute dream. He sits politely, soaks up chin rubs like it’s his job, and looks at you with eyes that say “please take me home.”

This special boy is waiting for someone to see just how wonderful he is—and give him the loving home he deserves. Could it be you?

🐶 Meet Elsie! 🐶

Elsie is a 2-year-old, 39 lb sweetheart who’s a bit underweight right now—but don’t tell her that! It certainly doesn’t slow her down. This bright, motivated girl is eager to please and full of bright energy.

Elsie would love a family who can help her fill out, build her confidence, and give her all the love she’s been missing. In return, she’ll shower you with loyalty, affection, and plenty of happy tail wags. 💕

Our Story

PLEASE DONATE TO HELP THE HOMELESS ANIMALS OF VANCE COUNTY AND SURROUNDING COUNTIES!

In 2010, over 3700 dogs and cats were impounded at the Vance County shelter, according to the 2010 Public Animal Shelter Report. Of those, 74 percent of the dogs and 93 percent of the cats were euthanized, either by gas chamber or by heart stick. Since RCAPS started working with the Vance County shelter in 2011, thousands dogs and cats have been saved. Now, close to 95 percent dogs and 70% of cats impounded at the shelter are adopted or rescued.

Ruin Creek operates with only a small group of volunteers and is funded almost entirely by donations from concerned animal lovers. We do our best, despite our limited funding, to save every animal impounded at the Vance County animal shelter. Among our other activities, we provide emergency medical care to animals who arrive at the shelter ill or injured, we advocate for the animals and connect them to rescue groups, and we arrange for the testing and health certificates needed to get them to rescue. Every Friday night our Freedom van, loaded by RCAPS volunteers, carries dozens of animals from kill shelters in Vance and surrounding counties to rescues between North Carolina and New York.
