Camp Patriot Animal Rescue & Sanctuary

Camp Patriot Animal Rescue & Sanctuary Welcome to Camp Patriot Animal Rescue and Sanctuary, a place where animals in need find safety, love, and a second chance at life. But we can't do it alone.

Hi! My name is Rosie. My foster family found me roaming around Winston-Salem in the middle of a busy intersection! I was really scared but I was chasing cars trying to find someone to take me home, I think my previous humans left me. But ever since my foster family rescued me, I have been the best girl. I don't p*e or p**p in their house, I am really playful, I get along with their dog, Bear, and they have been teaching me tricks! I can sit and give paw, and my foster is still teaching me more! I learn pretty quickly. I love meeting people; I always give them kisses! I just have so much love to give, despite what I have been through.
My ideal day with my new humans would be being able to cuddle with them, play fetch (I REALLY love to play fetch), and keep them company. Just like any of my pup friends, I also need exercise and mental stimulation to be my happiest pup self!
A little bit about me:
Approx. 1 year old
Around 35-40 pounds
Housebroken
Great on the leash
Loves attention :D
FULLY VETTED!

It's Adopt A Shelter Dog Month! 🐾

There are so many wonderful pups in need that would make the best companions. If you don't rescue from us, please consider other rescue organizations before you go to a breeder.

The truth is that there are so many breed-specific dogs in rescues.

Do your research, and please consider a rescue as your next furbaby.

Meet Miss Gracie! A sweet little stray who found her way to us a few weeks ago.

She was timid at first, but once she learned to trust, it was like she was just starved for love.

Gracie deserves her own humans who will bring her indoors and will give her all the love that will, of course, be returned ten-fold.

She's about 4 months-old, solid grey with beautiful golden eyes.

If you're interested in adopting her, please comment or message for more info.

Hi! I’m Max. I am 3 years old and whew – so thankful to still be here. Last Spring, my mom Mia and I found ourselves in a very scary situation. Our dad got real sick and had to go to some place called Hospice. I don’t know what that is, but I do know that we couldn’t see him, and we were both very sad and confused. We were juggled around to a lot of scary places and both of us just really wanted to go home and be with our dad. The situation for us was looking grim until my new foster dad, Nick, who has this place called Camp Patriot, came to our rescue! I don’t know why people are wary of us because of our size – we really just want to be loved like any other dog. Luckily for Me and Mom, Nick is not scared of us and seeks out big dogs like us that other people don’t want. Although our dad passed away in that place called Hospice, I know that he was at peace because he knew that his best friends – that would be us! – were going to be taken care of. Mom and I are both sad that we don’t have our old dad anymore, but we are really having fun at Camp Patriot! We have lots of land to run and play on, good food and water, shelter when the weather isn’t nice, and most of all, LOVE. Oh, and one of the best new things is that Nick took mom to a vet…er…nar….ian (it’s hard to say that word) and now she is healthy and doesn’t have to have any more kids. I am happy because I want to be her only little, eh, big boy!

Camp Patriot Animal Rescue and Sanctuary provides a place for large breeds that many times are euthanized in other animal shelters. We are raising money to build more kennels for dogs like Max and Mia who are in desperate need of a place to call home. Will you consider a donation to help us reach this goal of $3000? This would enable CPARS to build three kennels and offer veterinary care for new arrivals.
Thanks for reading our story and considering the lives of animals in need!
Love,
Max, Mia, and the rest of the CPARS team and mascots!
