Winston Salem NC: PLEASE SHARE!!!!

ADOPTION FEE WAIVED TO APPROVED HOMES!!

Who is looking for a new best friend? Barney and Barkley are the last two puppies from their litter of five! Their two sisters and brother have all been adopted and these two have waited for what, in their minds, is FOREVER! The boys were born into one of our foster's homes on December 19, 2023. Their mom, a larger Chihuahua mix and dad a German Shepherd. These boys have the temperament of their mom. She was so sweet, gentle and loving. They picked up all of her qualities. No doubt the dad was a great dog, too, but we don't know anything about him except he was a GSD.

Barkley and Barney are getting ready to be 6ms old. They have waited for a long time for their forever home. They get along great with other dogs and love people. They are active boys!

Both are fully vetted, including neuter and chipped. Both are on prevention. Both are around 45 #. They will not get any bigger.

They will benefit being separated and going to two separate and awesome forever homes.

If interested, please go to our website and complete the adoption application!

WANTED: FOSTER FAMILIES!

WINSTON SALEM NC

Today, we have been contacted by several families in the community, as well as some of our shelter partners to take dogs. We have had a total of 9 calls and messages today and the request totaled 13 dogs. We had to turn families away today and say no to our shelter partners, who are in desperate need. As sad as I say it, we have no fosters available. Our fosters are maxed out! They have multiple dogs, each.

IF YOU CAN FIND IT IN YOUR HEART TO FOSTER, PLEASE DO! Fostering is one of the greatest gifts of rescuing an animal! You are thinking "I'll get attached". Well, you do, but there will be another one that comes along that needs you just as much! We have 30 animals in our program. We are processing adoption applications as quickly as they come in and we are having great success with adoptions, however, we simply cannot take on anyone else WITHOUT fosters! Shelters are begging for help, but we cannot help WITHOUT more fosters! The general public is dumping dogs because they have no where for them to go. WE NEED HELP! ALL RESCUES ARE AT AN ALL TIME HIGH OF BEGGING FOR HELP!

If you would like to consider fostering and have questions, please message us! We provide all of the supplies and the food, and you provide the love! You give the gift of life! Without fosters, we cannot continue to save animals!

We have Marley, an adorable 4mo retriever x puppy! She LOVES people, kids and other dogs! She is learning her basic commands and is so eager to please. She is such a great girl! She is up to date on vaccines, spayed and chipped. Marley is ready to go to her forever home now! $150 adoption fee.

A week or so. Annie’s adoption fee is $200. Puppies adoption fee is $350.

Lastly, we have beautiful Cocoa, the sweetest 11yro white lab! Cocoa is up to date on vaccines, spayed and chipped. Cocoa is sooo easy!

This is Bailey. Bailey was adopted from the Guilford County Animal Shelter as an 8 week old puppy in April 2021 by her mom! Her mom has loved her from day one. Sadly, her mom recently passed away leaving Bailey in the hands of her daughters, who each have a multitude of animals and they live in condos.

Bailey and her mom were each other’s whole world. Now, Bailey is here without her mama.

Bailey is 3 years old and fully vetted. She gets along with other dogs and is unknown with cats. She is leary of men but may warm up to them. We are unsure of children. She is listed as a retriever mix. She weighs 65-70 #.

Shelters and rescues are over flowing so we cannot and will not send her back to an already overcrowded shelter. The family truly cares for her well being and that she is safe.

If you are interested in making Bailey apart of your family, please PM us. Bailey deserves this!

If you cannot adopt, PLEASE SHARE!!!

We had a PAWSOME week of adoptions!

S***ter, now Rue, an active Maltizu puppy found her forever home with her new best pal, Teddy!

Winnie, our gem 💎 of a sweet girl found her forever home with a family that has been waiting since March to find the perfect girl to join their family!

Max, our ginger boy who stole his foster mom’s heart, recovered from major surgery and opened his heart to his new family, including big sister, Daisy. Max’s story was incredibly sad, but had a wonderful happy ending!

Lady, our beautiful 12 week old miniature Aussie puppy found her forever home too! She will mend the broken hearts of her new family, after losing their last Aussie. This gal stole the hearts of everyone at her vet visit yesterday!

We love our adopters! Finding the best homes for our dogs is top priority! Thank you for adopting! Happy Tails to Rue, Winnie, Max and Lady! 🐾🐾🐾🐾❤️

Several rescues in Davidson County are all here to help control the pet population! Animal CARE Foundation doesn’t necessarily specialize in one particular category of spay/neuter but feral cats seem to be our specialty for the first quarter! 😻😻

Cat spays 17
Cat neuters 12
Dog spays 17
Dog neuters 5
Feral cats 38
Total 89

PLEASE SPAY/NEUTER!

ACF provided spay/neuter assistance for 89 pets from January-March! Here are a few examples of what we heard from pet owners:

-6 of the female dogs had 8-11 puppies in their last litter!
-Female indoor only cats were going in heat and running outside
-Female cats had litters they had just weened and had went into heat again
-Male indoor only cats were spraying inside
-Male outdoor cats were gone for days and when they came back they had been fighting
-Male dogs were digging under fences and also jumping fences to find the female dogs in heat
-Female dogs had litters they had just weened

Spay/Neuter will help with all this!

These pets were all spayed or neutered and received their required rabies vaccines (if needed). While at the clinic for surgery, several pets were able to get other needed services/care including: additional important vaccines, canine heartworm test, feline combo test, bloodwork, wound care, dew claw care, antibiotics, microchips, hernia repair, treatment for fleas/skin conditions/tapeworms/ear mites, and necessary teeth removal. The majority of these pets have never been seen by a vet and were in need of additional care so they can live a healthier life! Thank you for loving your pet and providing them with the best care❤️

If your pet is in need of Spay/Neuter, here are ways to get help in our county:

-Animal Care Foundation-you can Facebook message, email, or stop by our thrift store Wednesday-Saturday 10am-2pm for more information.

-Humane Society of Davidson County-you can call their spay neuter transport line at (336) 237-0131 and leave a message.

-SNIP DC-you can email for information and an application at [email protected] or stop by the Davidson County Animal Shelter Monday-Friday 11am-5pm and Saturday 11am-3pm.

Please be a part of the solution ❤️

We posted these girls a couple of weeks ago when they first came in! We thought they were a bonded pair… turns out, they aren’t. They enjoy each others company and the company of other dogs too!

Their foster mom renamed them to Cricket and TicTac! 🩷

Both girls are 2-3 years old. They are sisters but can be adopted together or separate. Both have been to our vet. They are up to date on vaccines, HW- and prevention has started. They will be spayed and chipped next week. They are p*e p*e pad trained. They are Chihuahua/Shih Tzu mixes.

We know very little except their owner passed away and no one in the family wanted them. 😢

Cricket is the tan one and TicTac is the black one. They are both incredibly sweet and love attention!

If you would like to open your home and your heart to one or both of these girls, please complete the application below.

Adoption fee is $350 ($450 for the pair). This covers vet exams, all vaccines, spay and chip!

Animal CARE Foundation has had a whirlwind week! We had four adoptions this week!

Freya, now Phoebe, is the last of Sophie’s puppies to leave. Frodo, still working on a new name, also one of Sophie’s puppies, finally found the right home for him and a previous adopter! Fievel went to a special home, also one of Sophie’s pups! Lastly, our tripod boy, Frankie is living large in Florida!

We love our adopters! They opened their home and their heart to these special 4!

04/14/2024

WINSTON SALEM NC:

We welcomed Dina and Nova into the ACF rescue, this week. Their owners passed away and there was no family to take them. They are a bonded pair of 2 year old Chihuahua/Shih Tzu mix sisters. They weigh 12 # each.

They are scared right now. Rightfully so, as their world has flipped. We are giving them time to decompress.

They have seen our vet. They are now up to date on all vaccines as they had never been to a vet, had a single vaccine or been on any prevention. They are heartworm negative and have been started on prevention. They were COVERED in fleas and have some flea dermatitis, which is starting to clear. They will be spayed and chipped, next week and once they have a little more time to decompress, and we learn more about them, we will start taking applications for them.

04/14/2024

Let’s Chat!

Let’s talk about SPAY and NEUTER!

Today one of our volunteers received an URGENT 🚨 message about kittens found. The Good Samaritan saw a closed box with holes punched in it on the side of the road and stopped to find these 3 kittens inside! Thank goodness they were alive and healthy. While, ACF doesn’t have fosters for cats/kittens, we remain dedicated to help them, just like the dogs and puppies we help. They are SAFE with a rescue now and never have to endure that again.

PLEASE PLEASE spay and neuter your pets and any ferals you feed and help others find resources to spay neuter.

Here are ways to get help for Spay/Neuter in our county:

-Animal Care Foundation-you can Facebook message, email, or stop by our thrift store Wednesday-Friday 10-2pm for more information.

-Humane Society of Davidson County-you can call their spay neuter transport line at (336) 237-0131 and leave a message.

-SNIP DC-you can email for information and an application at [email protected] or stop by the Davidson County Animal Shelter Monday-Friday 11am-5pm and Saturday 11am-3pm.

My name is Frodo! All of my siblings have been adopted but my first adopter backed out because they had just lost their fur baby and their hearts weren’t ready! I haven’t caught a break yet! No one wants to give me a forever home because I am not “fluffy”. I am the sweetest boy. I am 9 weeks old now. I have had my first vet exam, first vaccine. My mom is a Chihuahua and my dad is a Shih Tzu. My siblings all looked like Tzu’s… but I will look more Chihuahua. I will be about 8 # full grown. If anyone is interested out there, please message my rescue. I deserve a home too!

We have some HAPPY NEWS to report! Pablo, the lost kitty that bolted when his dad stopped to get gas, is SAFE! So many rescuers came together to make sure this boy would make it home! It truly takes a village, in rescue. It’s not a competition, it’s that each one of us pours our heart and soul into animals! Pablo’s mom and dad will be coming down, this weekend, but for now, Pablo is getting all of the love from us that he can!

ADOPTED! Willow!!! Meet our sweet girl Willow! She is around 11 weeks old. She was found dodging traffic on Peters Creek Parkway 😡 😡! She was picked up by a wonderful woman who could not keep her but sought out help through us. Willow is, our best guess, lab and hound mix, but who really knows? She is as cute as a button and knows it! She gets along with all of the dogs in her foster home and loves attention. Willow is working hard on housetraining, but remember she is still a puppy and will need time to learn all of the basics! Willow is current on her puppy vaccines. She will be spayed, when of age and microchipped Willow’s adoption fee is $250. This covers all vaccines, vet exam, spay and microchip.

In HONOR of Betty White ❤️🥰❤️

Today Betty White would have been 100 years old! Imagine what all Ms Betty had seen in 100 years. She was different things to different people, but to ALL animals, she was THEIR voice, THEIR protector and, no doubt, THEIR friend. We, as rescuers, strive to do this, every day! It’s not about any one thing, that we do. We are here to carry on Betty White’s legacy, just as you are, by loving your animals, the way Betty White did. Whether purchased or rescued, you are THEIR voice, THEIR protector and THEIR friend! Today, we celebrate the life that Betty White shared with the world and the love she shared for the animals, all animals. These are a few of the ones that we have in our program, right now. Thank you for being a friend! You will forever be missed and forever be loved for all who knew you, but for us, for every animal that you loved! #BettyWhiteChallenge #bettywhite #BettyWhitebirthday #thankyouforbeingafriend #animalrescue #animalcarefoundation

Harlow (formally Moo) LOVES the ❄️… where big brother Harley is not a fan. I tend to have to agree with Harley on this one! Share your fur babies on this thread…(they don’t have to be ACF alumni)… let’s see what your babies think of this 🥶 ❄️ 🥶 ❄️ weather!

IF you wonder what we do, THIS IS what WE do!!! Recently, we were contacted about some dogs and cats, living in a hoarding situation, where they definitely were not being taken care of. It was a mess and filthy!! We also were made aware that the “owner” had previously served prison time. Yet, he had animals AGAIN?? Our K9 investigator, Dawn Barker, along with volunteer, Donna Barham jumped into action! Dawn went out to the home, dewormed everyone and took food and water. These dogs and cats had not eaten in a few days, if not longer. There were 10 dogs on the property and 15 cats. The next day, all babies were pulled to safety! The parents of these puppies are both VERY high HW+. The male, Buddy is currently in the animal hospital fighting for his life. The puppies came to us with ZERO socialization. All of the cats, were terrified, but, thankfully, one of our rescue partners, had room for adult cats! Today they are all safe and warm, in foster homes. Today, we received a pupdate on our puppies from their foster home! If this doesn’t warm your heart…. We appreciate our fosters so much! These puppies will be up for adoption in the coming weeks!

We have puppies. These babies have all had their first bath and are ready to go to the vet in the morning for their first checkup and shots. Bassett hound/beagle mix. ❤️❤️🐾🐾
