Triangle Pets Alive of North Carolina

Founded in February 2011, Triangle Pets Alive! is a no-kill, foster-based rescue based in Raleigh, North Carolina.

At Triangle Pets Alive!, our small team of dedicated volunteers is committed to rescuing dogs in danger of being euthanized at North Carolina shelters.

Rescue is our mission, and although we rescue all breeds, coonhounds are our calling. Every year around hunting season, lost and abandoned hounds flood shelters across NC. Sadly, these loving dogs are often surrendered or left unclaimed, and many are eventually euthanized. Hounds are highly sensitive dogs that can be incredible family companions given the chance, but their value as pets is often overlooked because of their reputation as sporting dogs. They are largely unprotected by state animal welfare laws, and many are neglected as a result. At TPA!, we believe in strength through community, and our entire rescue family is working tirelessly to highlight the hound dogs’ merit as a worthy family companion. We will get there, one lovable rescued hound at a time – but we need your support!

Triangle Pets Alive! depends on community support to rescue healthy and treatable shelter dogs. Volunteer foster families provide temporary homes for all rescued dogs, and the dogs remain with their foster families until they are adopted.
