Our Featured Pet...


My name is Bambi and I have been waiting for a long time to get adopted and have a family or mommy of my very own. I have had a lot of people interested in me, but when they find out I leak a little, they don’t want me. I am a really good little, cute girl with a lot of lap love and kisses to give. Sometimes I am in pain from this problem and have had repeated infections. Many vet visits and money so far have not been able to fix my recurring problem. I am now being referred to a specialist in Raleigh who might have to perform an expensive surgery. Can you help my foster mommy and me by making a donation, no matter how small, it all adds up and helps me get one step closer to a forever home of my own. Donations can be made to a paypal account at csowers@recapitalinc.com.

Who We Are

The Out of Harm's Way mission is to improve the lives of homeless, abandoned, neglected, and abused dogs through our rescue, rehabilitation, and re-homing efforts. We endeavor to remove them from harm‘s way by pulling them from kill shelters, taking them in through owner surrenders, providing for their immediate medical needs, evaluating their behavioral and social needs, then finding suitable placements for them so that they may live out the remainder of their lives happy, healthy, and well loved. We seek to show all these animals the love and respect they deserve that comes through humane care, heartfelt compassion, and the touch of human kindness. When our dogs are placed, Out of Harm's Way requires an adoption contract to be signed by the adoptive family. We hold this as a legal and binding contract between the rescue and the adoptive family insuring the future well being of their new family member. Out of Harm's Way also requires an adoption fee with each adoption so that our rescue may cover the inevitable costs involved in pulling, vetting, maintaining, and placing these needy dogs. Each new rescue dog requires a hefty financial outlay. Adoption fees enable us to continue our rescue efforts by supporting ongoing expenses and provide reimbursement for the cost of the spay/neuter, microchipping, and any veterinary care required prior to placement, and in most instances, even travel costs. In all cases, the expenses related to a particular dog will be covered by the set adoption fee. While the adoption fees may seem higher for some dogs, please remember that our rescue has invested tons of time, effort, and money into all these dogs. We simply must recoup this investment in order to continue rescuing needy animals. You may also consider that if a higher adoption fee is beyond your means, you may need to consider a pet which does not require as much care and expense as a dog. However, keep in mind, the normal care and upkeep of any pet requires an ongoing financial outlay.
