Stepping Stones Canine rescue - About Us

With years of animal rescue and fostering experience between them, a group of friends recognized the need for a canine only rescue group in the Triad area. Consolidating their shared goal to help dogs of all breeds find the best possible home, while also matching adopters with their ideal companion, they joined forces to create a new rescue group. Stepping

Stones Canine Rescue is a charitable and educational non-profit corporation, located in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Our volunteers share an enthusiasm for dogs and support a mission to rescue, protect, provide sanctuary and ultimately find adoptive families for abandoned, stray and neglected dogs. All of our dogs are housed in foster homes where they are provided with an enormous amount of love and any medical attention needed to insure their best health before adoption. All dogs are evaluated for temperament and personality, helping us to place them in homes that are well suited to their needs and to the needs of their future family.

Our beautiful Harley Quinn Litter is dwindling! All 5 of these babies have gone to their new homes in the last week or two.

Check her out on our website and/or come meet her today at our adoption event!

Clay, Ivy, Tawny, Frank, and Sy... ADOPTED x5!

Allow us to introduce one of the newest members of the pack: Maggie! This stunning girl showed up as a stray several months ago at someone's house, and no owner ever came forward. Not shocked... they probably didn't want to have to answer for what they did to her ears. We have NO idea why someone gave her a crappy at home dock job like this, but they should be ashamed.

The kind folks who found Maggie were unable to take her in but boarded her long term to keep her safe. Maggie actually spent about 4 months in boarding before we found about her and then could bring her into the program. Maggie is decompressing in foster care after having gotten stir crazy in boarding for that length of time. She LOVES to chase squirrels and to pester her foster sisters into playing with her! Maggie is still working on learning house rules, but she's doing well. She's getting the hang of housebreaking and sleeps well in her crate.

We can only assume this girl is a border collie or husky mix of some sort. Wonder what she'd look like if she had gotten to keep her full ears. Nevertheless, we think she's gorgeous and deserving of a better life. Maggie is working on learning social settings and strangers. She will be in attendance at our adoption fair tomorrow to get a little more experience. Come on by and say hi!

We will be at Pet Supermarket in Thruway Shopping Center from 11:30 - 2 tomorrow (Dec 14) for our last adoption event of the year!

Maggie isn't yet posted on our website but will be soon. She weighs in at a petite 39 lbs and is estimated to be 2 years old.

Rescue in Progress! Please say hello tothese two little boys who are father and son, ages 3 yrs and 2 yrs respectively. They are poodle mixes who have lived outside their whole lives and haven't been socialized much. We are grateful that their owners recognized that they were not able to care for these dogs properly and reached out for help.

They will undoubtedly need to be sedated and completely shaved down, given vet care, and who knows what infections could be under all these mats. Please consider donating to their care if you are able. These boys really deserve a chance at a new life 🫶

The fastest way to get donations to us is through our PayPal link below. Thanks in advance if you're able to donate! Stay tuned for updates on their journey with us. New names coming soon.

Baby puppy life continues! The little beans are starting to get active and have opened their eyes and most recently, their ears! It's just so tough to get pictures when they are awake 😅

The puppies are three weeks old and weigh just around a pound, so they are still enjoying the warmth of their incubator when they aren't out with Foster Mom. But we anticipate that they will upgrade to the soft sided puppy pen within the next few days.

This is our "Sampsonite Litter" - Lloyd, Harry, and Mary. IYKYK!

The pups have good appetites and are developing well! We anticipate they will be small to medium sized when fully grown. We still have no information about their mother, her size, or her breed. We just know that she is 10 years old and could not produce milk for them. Someone is involved in helping her and the situation she is in. Unfortunately, we don't have involvement, contact info, or any other details. We will learn more as they grow, so stay tuned for this puppy roller coaster ride!

Please welcome to our pack: Abby!

This young-at-heart girl recently had to be surrendered when her elderly mom needed to move to assisted living. Abby has been a very loved part of her mom's life for the last 7 and a half years when she was adopted from a shelter.

Abby's world got rocked, and she was a bit nervous coming to foster care. But we used a slow approach and allowed her some decompression time so that she could adjust. Abby is now doing really well in her foster home! She gets along with the other pups in the home and loves going for walks with her foster mom. Abby has a vet appointment to get a few of her vaccines current. And then we expect this little lady will be ready to meet people soon. Stay tuned for full details on her!

Please welcome to our pack: Gidget!

This little girl was hanging around a neighborhood in Lexington for several weeks and noone could figure out where she came from. Gidget was scared, but several kind folks took time to befriend her and earn her trust. Once they could get their hands on her, Gidget came to foster care. She's been with us for a few weeks now and is acclimating well! We estimate her to be around 6 months and a shepherd mix of some sort. Gidget has a spay appointment week and then she will be ready to make her adoption fair debut at our adoption event on Dec 14. Stay tuned for updates on her!

This week, we were sad to learn of the sudden passing of Veterinarian and long time friend of the rescue, Dr. David Harris. We are so appreciative that he agreed to partner with Stepping Stones nearly 13 years ago when we founded the rescue, though some of us had a relationship with him long before that. Dr. Harris founded Abri Veterinary Hospital, and he set the stage for us to have a long term partnership so that we could help as many animals as possible. He was wonderfully generous and cared deeply about our animal friends. We know that there were many wet noses and wagging tails over there waiting to greet him. Rest in Peace Dr. Harris, and thank you for your service to our country, our community, and all of our furry friends 🫶

It didn't take long for this little guy to get scooped up. And we weren't surprised because he's such a sweetheart! We have reports that he is settling in well with his new "big" sister who is actually a petite Cavalier about half his size 😅. But they pretty much fell in love during their meet and greet, and they are adorable together! Congrats to Cinnamon (now Pippen) and his new family! ADOPTED!
