Old North Canine Rescue

Old North Canine Rescue (ONCR) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, all volunteer organization comprised of people who believe the world is simply a better place with dogs in it! Serving Alamance and other surrounding counties, we are dedicated to reducing the number of dogs in county shelters by providing the foster and adoption services of shelter pets and networking shelter dogs.

The adoption process for ONCR dogs is as follows: *your application is received and reviewed (approx 3-5 days) *your references checked (please advise your references to return our call/email asap) (approx 2-3 days) *a home visit is conducted to meet the family and see where the dog will be living (depending on your location, 2-10 days) *meet & greet with the dog (this can be done at same time as home visit) *all adoptions begin with a two week trial (the check for adoption fee not cashed until trial period is over) adoption finalized! Happy Tails! All dogs are fully vetted (spay/neuter, vaccinated, dewormed, heartworm tested, on heartworm and flea/tick preventative and microchipped). Our dogs all live in foster homes after being pulled from shelters or surrendered to our organization.
