Rescue Partners

The New Hope Placement Partners Program

The Wake County Animal Care, Control & Adoption Center is proud to partner with animal rescue organizations participating in the County's New Hope Placement Partners Program. The Animal Center transfers ownership of the shelter animal to a partnering rescue group. The rescue group then works to place the animal into their forever home. Many rescue groups, if they don't maintain a sheltering facility, have a network of dedicated individuals who serve as foster families until the animal is adopted.

The Wake County Animal Center waives the adoption fee for the participating rescue groups and only charges for the cost of any services rendered such as vaccinations and microchipping.

When the Animal Center transfers an animal to a rescue group, that animal is given a chance to be adopted. Additionally, the space that would have been occupied by that animal is then made available to another, giving more animals "new hope." By working with the New Hope Placement Partners and through the County's network of animal foster program homes, more shelter animals are able to find loving homes.

Looking for a pet?

We ask that you visit the County's Animal Center [driving directions] and check with the following New Hope Placement Partners Program members. The Animal Center or one of the partnering rescue groups may have the perfect pet for you.
