Independent Animal Rescue is a foster-based cat and dog rescue located in Durham, NC, and serving the surrounding communities. Our mission is to rescue and care for cats and dogs in need and reduce the suffering of unwanted animals through our adoption, spay/neuter, and community education programs.
At IAR, we believe that the welfare of animals is paramount. We feel that we can alleviate problems associated with dog and cat overpopulation and abandonment using a 3-pronged approach: (1) Rescue and adoption of unwanted and abused animals; (2) funding and providing spay/neuter services; (3) education and outreach on animal welfare to our community.
The proceeds from our 2022 Pet Photo Contest and subsequent calendar sales will be used to help dogs and cats in need – providing foster and veterinary care, spay/neuter procedures, and adoption services. Thank you for supporting Independent Animal Rescue!
