Foothills Canine Health Clinic

Dear Rescue Friend,

Since 2008, Foothills Canine Rescue has been rescuing and re-homing unwanted, abandoned, and homeless dogs in Caldwell County. We are an all-volunteer organization, receive no government funding, and rely solely on the kind hearts of our donors to carry out our mission.

Our efforts are now expanding to include Foothills Canine Health Clinic where we will provide healthcare and spay/neuter surgery for our own rescue dogs and, as we grow, provide select services to our community at an affordable price.

Our facility is located at 220 Joyceton Church Rd. in Lenoir, NC 28645.

We are continually seeking donors who will continue to fund our important life-saving work.

Foothills Canine Rescue, Inc. is a 501(c)3 organization and all gifts are tax-deductible. (Tax ID#26-3328699).

If you would like a private tour of Foothills Canine Health Clinic before considering your donation, please contact us at FoothillsCanineRescue@Yahoo.com and we will be happy to arrange a meeting with you.

Thank you for your time and consideration,
Foothills Canine Rescue Team

    • Please work with your foster dog as you would any new pet in the home. Basic commands, such as sit, down, stay; house, leash and crate training; socialization with people and other pets. Crate-training is highly encouraged, and FCR will provide one if needed.
 
    • Enthusiasm is contagious! Your excitement about finding forever homes for all of our dogs will help get them to their forever faster. Please share all FCR Facebooks posts and talk about FCR to your family, friends, neighbors and coworkers.
 
    • If you are able to provide nutritious food for your foster dog, that is helpful to us. If you are unable, FCR will provide food. Please request this from the FCR Foster Coordinator.
 
    • We constantly update our social media sites. If you could send us updated pictures of your foster dog, that keeps our marketing “fresh.” One or two new pictures every two weeks is sufficient.
 
    • Once you get to know your foster, please send us biographical information. As you notice additional changes in behaviors/habits, send us that information, too.
At Foothills Canine Rescue, we work to save the lives of as many dogs as possible. Each year, because of supporters like you, we are able to positively impact hundreds of dogs. We never euthanize a dog due to space or length of stay. We use euthanasia as a compassionate, end-of-life decision when a dog is suffering from a severe medical or behavioral condition and with the recommendation of our attending veterinarian. At FCR, we make decisions based on what is best for the dogs in our care, and for the safety of our community. To us, No-Kill means that we do our absolute best to ensure a live outcome.
