Found an injured or orphaned wild animal?
Be prepared to do a little research.
Space is limited. Consider becoming a wildlife rehabber yourself!
If you can't transport wildlife to a rehabber (or found an injured or potentially rabid
pet or rabid wild animal) your county animal control may be able to help.

What About Domestic Pets?
Beautiful Together Sanctuary
Chapel Hill
specializing in cats & dogs
*space is extremely limited, consider volunteering!
"A major charter of this sanctuary is to also create ongoing programs for children in foster care, group homes and at-risk situations to visit the animals, help care for them and spend time in 'pet therapy' sessions: bottle feeding kittens, socializing puppies, brushing goats - and so much more."
Their mission: "To connect the vulnerable and the voiceless in purposeful ways that benefit us all."
Independent Animal Rescue
Triangle Region
specializing in cats & dogs
"IAR started with one woman’s big dreams, a bigger heart, and a very distinctive purple pickup truck that helped her rescue countless numbers of unwanted, abused, and homeless Triangle pets... IAR is currently governed by a Board of Directors, managed by elected officers, and supported by over 300 unpaid volunteers. As a volunteer-driven organization, IAR deeply values the donated time and resources that sustain its mission and support animal care and rehabilitation."
