About RCAR

Changing Lives is so rewarding. Taking an animal that has been neglected, abused and/or forgotten and bring back the sparkle in their eye and the love in their heart is what we want.
Every Animal has a Spot in our Heart and we get to see first-hand how forgiving animals are and no matter their background they choose love and trust time and time again.
Happily Ever After is what we strive for whether it is an adoptive home, or they become a permanent resident with RCAR for the rest of their days.

Rugby Creek Animal Rescue, Inc (RCAR) is registered as a Virginia non-profit corporation and is designated by the IRS as a 501(c)3 tax-exempt charitable organization so donations can be tax-deductible and all donations support our rescue program.
Our Rescue consists of 7 dedicated and compassionate Board Members in 3 states including one licensed Veterinarian. NO ONE receives any payment for time or services, we are all volunteer based.
RCAR is dedicated to the Rescue, Rehabilitation, Retirement and Adoption of at-risk, injured and geriatric animals.

We assist the local community and surrounding counties here in Virginia. In addition, we help other states including NC & TN.
We pull dogs from rural kill shelters, quarantine and then network to transport to higher population areas up north for adoption. Averaging 75-100 dogs a year!
We provide and care for ~ 10 to 15 Horses and Donkeys AND Rescue, Rehab & Re-Home.
