Saving Grace Dog Rescue
Robeson County

is a private intake facility founded to impact the staggering number of unwanted and euthanized puppies and dogs in Robeson County.
We depend on donors and supporters to operate.
Intake and daily care is provided to the animals at this shelter location until they can be transported to an adoption facility – like Saving Grace Wake Forest – where they can be adopted.

Hogan’s Rescue Story
Hogan came to us in awful shape. Here is his story of healing and ultimately, adoption!
Over the past 10 years, Molly Goldston (founder of Saving Grace Animals for Adoption) and Robeson County Animal Shelter have cooperated to reduce the number of great dogs and puppies being euthanized.
Yet, Robeson County continues to be the area with the highest euthanasia rate in North Carolina, and North Carolina has the 3rd highest euthanasia rate in the United States.

To further reduce the numbers, Saving Grace created and opened a Robeson County intake location in early 2021. This location gives animals a safe place to begin their medical care and start their journey toward adoption.
Most animals that come to Saving Grace – Robeson County have never received any medical or veterinary care. Many are heartworm positive – a survivable but costly condition to treat.
Dogs accepted into the program at Saving Grace – Robeson County receive a medical exam, parasite treatment, vaccinations, a microchip, are spayed/neutered, and so much more. These dogs are quite literally transformed in the care of Saving Grace volunteers and staff.
Our goal is to place each of these previously unwanted animals in a loving home where they will be valued as a family member for the rest of their life.
We can make an even greater difference with your help.
What you can do to help Robeson County….
Right now, we’re focusing on rescuing adoptable animals from one of the highest intake shelters with the least resources. Your funds, time and supplies will save the lives of countless animals.
Next, we need to work on reducing the number of unwanted animals. Right now, there are not a lot of spay/neuter options in Robeson County. Saving Grace wants to change that – one of our aspirations is to expand Saving Grace’s existing spay/neuter clinic operations to support rural communities in curbing their exploding puppy populations. Your donations will help us get closer to that goal!

Saving Grace answered the call to provide for their care. This is their story.

Kicking off the week with a 'Happy Tale!' Teeter is another #RobesonCounty shelter pup that was adopted at Saving Grace NC. Read what her new family shared with us:![]()
"Teeter is doing great! She is a happy puppy that continues to learn every day. She graduated puppy training in July. She is just about 8 months old now and not sure if she will get any bigger but she is the perfect size for us.
We love her and we hope her brothers are doing great with their new families.
I have attached a few pictures. Thank you!!" ![]()
We're so happy for Teeter and her family! ![]()

Let’s start the week off right with another Robeson County shelter dog’s ‘Happy Tale!’![]()
Gus, formerly known as Demo, came in like a tiny ball of fury when he landed on our farm but settled in very quickly. At first, he could care less for either of my other pups but they've since come to an agreement that Gus is the boss (or so he thinks). I don't know what his life was like prior to arriving at Saving Grace NC but I assume most things he's experienced in the past months were firsts for him. Gus has gone hiking, enjoyed time in our pool, become a fave co-worker at my job, and recently learned how to paddle and prone board with me! He's definitely a one person dog and I'm overjoyed every day that I'm his person. Like any pup he has his quirks that never fail to make me smile...like stealing one shoe when he is upset with me about anything and also requiring one shoe to sleep with every night. It's non-negotiable, trust me.
I honestly couldn't have wished for a better little dude. Gus has been so much fun and is always overly excited to see me when I come home. I'm in awe at how well he adapted to everything that has been thrown his way, he's always up for our next adventure! Thank you all again for being the bridge to getting my little buddy to me, I am forever thankful we found each other! #savinggracenc #shelterdog #savinggracerobesoncounty #sgrobco #shelterdogsrock #sghappytale #supportshelterdogs #adoptashelterdog

We love reading the 'Happy Tales' that we receive from the families who've adopted Robeson County shelter dogs from Saving Grace NC
"Meow (now Ruby) is doing great! She was very shy and quiet at first but she came out of her shell quickly. Our whole family loves Ruby and she and our other dog are best friends. They play together nonstop! I’ve attached some recent photos."
We wish nothing but the best to Ruby and her family!
Thanks to everyone for supporting us while we continue our work to improve the lives of homeless dogs
