Adoptions Through Brother Wolf Animal Rescue's adoption program, animals receive needed medical care and support before being adopted out into loving homes. In 2022, Brother Wolf placed 1,493 animals into adoptive homes. These animals come to Brother Wolf from families who can no longer care for them (40% of intakes) and from overcrowded shelters in the Western NC region (60% of intakes) where animals face euthanasia simply due to space constraints. In 2022, Brother Wolf transferred in 815 animals from overcrowded shelter partners. In addition, Brother Wolf's Home-To-Home adoption placement program kept 159 animals out of the shelter system by using marketing and networking to help their families find new homes for their pets.
Low-Cost Spay-Neuter Mobile Clinic Overcrowded shelters exist throughout North Carolina. To address the root of the problem of animal overpopulation, Brother Wolf Animal Rescue's mobile spay-neuter clinic offers high-quality, low-cost spay/neuter services. In 2022, Brother Wolf's mobile clinic performed 2,129 spay/neuter surgeries, and administered 1,236 low-cost or free vaccinations and 471 pet microchips.
Fostering Brother Wolf Animal Rescue's robust fostering program, which consisted of 392 active volunteer foster homes in 2022, enables the organization to increase its lifesaving capacity by caring for a large number of animals in a home setting. About 70% of animals in Brother Wolf's care in 2022 spent time in a foster home. Brother Wolf's trained foster parents enable the organization to take on special cases (very young kittens and puppies, pregnant, sick, elderly, terminally ill, heartworm positive, fearful animals, etc.) and provide them expert care. In 2022, Brother Wolf facilitated 1,579 foster home placements.
