Freedom Ride Animal Rescue is a 501(c) 3, nonprofit, foster based animal rescue organization. We are a foster based Rescue with no building location.

We are a unique rescue committed to helping as many animals as we can, by providing free transportation from traditional shelters and breeder releases to no-kill rescues all over our surrounding area. We also provide overnight/temporary foster care for our furry travelers whose time has run out at shelters while waiting for their spot to open at one of our pre-approved no-kill rescues. 100% of donations go to the vetting and transportation of these animals giving them a chance to live and find loving homes. WE ARE NOT IN COMPETITION WITH LOCAL OR REGIONAL SHELTER BASED RESCUES.
