We are Volunteers trying to make a difference one pet at a time. Lake Norman Animal Rescue is a non-profit 501-c-3 organization. We do not receive funding from any other source other than public donations made directly to our organization.  Lake Norman Animal Shelter is a sister agency of Lake Norman Animal Rescue.    Our mission is to rescue adoptable pets in shelters during their last hours. We transport pets from local shelters to other rescues. We list pets that are still in shelters that are awaiting rescue. Please read each pets profile carefully as some ask you to contact various shelters directly.

Lake Norman Animal Rescue was founded in February 2004.  We were conceived as a rescue group that worked a little differently.  Our volunteers desired to rescue the often overlooked, highly adoptable pets that had, through no fault of their own, been abandoned in animal control shelters throughout the Lake Norman region.  These animals we felt were truly the most critical cases and needed a voice.  We chose to become that voice.

All of our animals are temperament tested for adoptability before they enter our program. We work closely with several animal control shelters and we are always seeking out those pets with that indescribable  "something special".  We feel that when you meet our animals, you will understand what we are talking about.  Our adoptable pets reside in loving fosterhomes with our families. We look for highly adoptable pets that are good with other animals, children and a variety of situations. That said we understand there is a rainbow of personality traits and we strive to match the pet to the right family. You will know everything we know about our animals, and we will work with you helping to acclimate your new pets to their new environment. We ask that you be open to training techniques including crate training.

We also promote responsible pet ownership and spay neuter programs.  We are an all volunteer charity that currently does not have a facility, instead we exist through a network of private foster homes.

Invisible Fence Products
Sadly, many of the wonderful, highly adoptable pets we rescue were surrendered to Animal Control facilities due to very preventable  and easily fixed behavioral issues, such as barking, digging, wandering, fence jumping etc.   In an effort to help prevent these pets from ending up in shelters, Lake Norman Animal Rescue has partnered with Invisible Fence Products.  Not only do they offer underground fencing systems, there is a vast variety of other products to help many common issues. 
Invisible Fence Products is a supporter of our mission and would like to offer our adopters and supporters a discount.

The lost boys need your help

We would like to introduce you to 7 handsome gentlemen.   These boys were neglected and not treated very well.  Several came to us with injuries that required vet care and in the case of one little man, his ear was torn off.   They now are residing in two separate but equally loving fosterhomes who are committed to giving them the best possible care.  They spent their lives housed in small cages that were cramped and filthy with their own waste.  They had never touched the ground nor had fresh vegetables.  They now live in large enclosures where they can hop and frolic and they get lots of healthy veggies and timothy hay every day.
