Severe Medical Cases
Gherkin is a male chihuahua estimated around 7 years old. This boy loves to explore the backyard, go on nature walks and be near his people. He loves to be pet and will lovingly ask for more by offering his paw. He also loves watching the world outside by sunbathing on the back of the couch. He does take a little while to warm up to some people, but his approval can be bought with food. He unfortunately came to us with a broken jaw on his left side but has been x-rayed and assessed by multiple Veterinarians. It was concluded that surgery most likely would not fix the issue, he probably has had this injury for a long time and he still has a great quality of life. He will need to continue a soft food diet and you will know its dinner time by him getting zoomies and doing bunny hops. Gherkin also has a heart murmur and a misaligned jaw that causes him pain. He is missing several teeth and the ones he does have are covered in tartar. Gherkin received an X-ray and a full extraction of all remaining teeth. We are currently raising funds to cover the expenses of his dental and neuter.
The cost for his treatment is $800.

Bella is a Female Pit Bull Terrier estimated at 6 years old. She is a Velcro dog in that she loves to be by her people as much as possible! She wants all the love possible and reassurance that she is safe. Bella came to us from a shelter and was in bad shape. She has skin issues, incontinence, and a broken tooth that needs to be removed. Bella is currently on medication for his skin issues and has an appointment for a much-needed dental.
The cost for her treatment is $500. Can you help us raise the money for Bella's medical care? She is a sweet girl who now gets a second chance at forever.

Need to contact us?Review these questions before contacting us.
Q. I would like to adopt a pet. What is the process?
A. Please select North Carolina or Kentucky Tab and select the Adoption Process tab. This will give you more information on how to adopt. Q. I found a stray dog. Can you take him/her?
A. All stray dogs must be reported the County Animal Shelter the dog was found in. This is a very important step because the dog's owner may be looking for the dog and that is the first place the owner will search. The county may not be able to come and pick up the dog right away. It will be much faster if you drive the dog to the county shelter directly. If it is after hours you can still report the dog to the County Animal Shelter. They do have a 24 hour dispatch. It is up to them when they will be able to come and pick up the dog. We are not able to hold the stray dog until Animal Control can pick the dog up. Q. What are your hours of operation?
A. Our North Carolina Location has a Rescue Center Facility at 100 Fall Creek Drive, Jacksonville NC 28540 Tuesday-Friday 1:00-5:00PM Saturday 11:00-3:00 Our Kentucky location is a foster based rescue only. Please email info@adoptionfirstanimalrescue.com if you have any questions. Q. Do you take cats?
A. We take in very few cats at this time. We are only accepting them from county animal shelters. We will not take in stray cats. Q. I am interested in Fostering. What do I need to do?
A. Fosters need to fill out the foster application that can be found in the about us tab. Please be sure to select the correct location you are wanting to foster for. Our foster coordinator will be in touch within 48 hours. Q. I am interested in Volunteering. What do I need to do?
A. Volunteers need to fill out the volunteer application that can be found on the about us tab. Please make sure to select the correct location. Once the volunteer application is filled out the volunteer coordinator will be in touch within 48 hours. Q. I need to surrender my dog. Do you have room for him/her?
A. Owner surrenders are a case by case basis. Most of the time we do not take in owner surrenders. We simply do not have the space. We always recommend you contact the county shelter first. If you would like to see if we can take in your dog you will need to email adoptions@adoptionfirstanimalrescue.com. Please allow 72 hours for a response. Q. How can I make a donation?
A. Please contact us below to discuss donation options! The easiest way to donate is through our donate now buttons on the website.
