Independent Animal Rescue
@iar-durham.bsky.social
Independent Animal Rescue’s mission is to rescue and care for cats and dogs in need through adoption, spay/neuter, and community education. Located in Durham, NC.
We are in need of more fosters. We have some dogs that are in boarding that we would love to get into a home environment. Fostering is a great way to enjoy a dog's love and fun without the long-term commitment of adoption. If you want to learn more, send a message to info@animalrescue.net!

Meet Sullivan! This 3½-month-old bundle of puppy energy is snuggly and smart! With a heart-shaped nose, rosy snout, and tall frame in the making (projection is around 50 lbs), Sully is growing fast and learning even faster.
