Red Dog Farm

Red Dog Farm is a North Carolina 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation formed on August 23, 2006, dedicated to the rehabilitation, fostering, and adoption of animals of all sizes. Located in Stokesdale, NC, their network of foster volunteers covers most of North Carolina and Virginia. They have found homes for more than 6,200 animals across 70 species.

The actual Red Dog Farm is a 21-acre landing place for animals to rehabilitate and rejuvenate, though the vast majority of animals live in private homes or barns across Guilford, Forsyth, and Rockingham counties. Foster families care for everything from kittens to horses, and the organization pays all veterinary bills for them while finding forever homes.

Foster families are responsible for providing feed for the animals in their care, although exceptions can be made if necessary. The organization covers all veterinary expenses, ensuring that financial barriers do not prevent animals from receiving proper medical attention during their rehabilitation.

The farm hosts various events such as Pars for Paws, an open house at the farm, and supply drives in partnership with local police departments and Petco. These events aim to raise awareness and support for the animals they help.

Visitors can interact with a wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, llamas, lizards, farm animals, and horses. The farm is described as a gem in the countryside with a well-maintained environment where animals seem happy and well-cared for.

The organization operates without a traditional shelter, relying instead on a large network of caring individuals and families who open their hearts, homes, and farms to foster animals until a forever family is found.

Volunteers help care for animals in quarantine at the farm on holidays and weekends, while others assist in the office, on the farm, and at adoption fairs. Long-term commitment is preferred over one-time volunteer work to ensure effective education and involvement.

Foster families can choose which types of animals they wish to foster, including specific breeds, and are never obligated to accept a request. The process begins by submitting a Volunteer Form or Foster Application.

The organization pays all bills for animals in foster care, which includes veterinary costs. This financial support allows them to focus on rehabilitation and finding permanent homes for the animals.

The farm is located at 8653 NC Hwy 65, Stokesdale, NC 27357, and can be reached by phone at 336.288.7006 or via email at [email protected]. They also maintain a website at reddogfarm.com for more information.

Recent reviews from 2022 and 2023 highlight the farm's well-maintained facilities, knowledgeable and friendly staff, and the variety of animals. Visitors often praise the peaceful atmosphere and the informative nature of the staff.

The organization has a dedicated team of volunteers and a board of directors including James Mayer, Jennifer Himes, and JJ Marus. They also have specific programs for dog, cat, exotic, and large animal adoptions with designated contacts.

The farm's mission focuses on rescuing and rehabilitating neglected, abused, or unwanted animals in and around Guilford County, with a particular emphasis on domestic farm animals. Their impact includes finding homes for thousands of animals and adopting 70 different species.
