Our Story
The founder of Castaways Rescue is an active duty veteran who began fostering dogs with her husband (co-founder) while stationed overseas in Okinawa, Japan circa 2014. It was there that the founders were inspired by the relentless efforts of rescue workers who sought to save as many dogs from euthanasia as possible. We are proud to say that we have maintained a relationship with one such worker, and she currently serves as a board member.
In 2017, the desire to form our own rescue struck us deeply, as we returned from overseas, and continued to see the horrific euthanasia rates not only in Onslow County, where the rescue was founded, but in North Carolina as a whole. Furthermore, we observed that most local area rescues and shelters were at capacity and having to turn dogs away or resort to euthanasia. It was evident that more rescues were needed. In 2019, the founders decided there would never be a ‘perfect time’ to embark upon the journey of creating a non-profit dog rescue and filed their Articles of Incorporation with the state of North Carolina. In June 2020, Castaways Rescue, Inc became an official 501c3.
The name Castaways was selected because we believe every being has inherent value and worth, and therefore, should not simply be “casted” aside. In a world rife with the mentality that failure constitutes defeat, we see failure as an opportunity for growth and second chances.
