The 50 State Rescue Challenge: North Carolina Edition

At Cause for Paws, we’re on a mission:

Get a pet adopted in every state.

This week’s spotlight falls on The Tar Heel State: North Carolina and Hope Animal Rescue. 

Hope Animal Rescue is a dedicated all-volunteer organization based in North Carolina, founded in 2013 by Cathy and Ashley Threadingham, a mother-daughter team. Since its inception, the rescue has grown significantly, with foster dogs placed in homes across the Triangle region.

Their mission is focused on rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming abandoned dogs in North Carolina, particularly those in greatest need.

They also aim to assist community members in caring for their dogs and keeping them in their homes.

Hope Animal Rescue envisions a community where every dog has a home, and anyone wishing to provide a loving home can do so, regardless of age, race, gender, or socio-economic status.

Their work is guided by core values including compassion, fun, community, gratitude, dedication, teamwork, and integrity.

Hope Animal Rescue continues to make a significant impact on the lives of abandoned dogs in North Carolina, embodying their name by offering hope to animals in need.
