Welcome to A Better Life
Animal Rescue, Inc.

A Better Life Animal Rescue, Inc. is a no-kill foster home-based rescue organization located in Burke County, North Carolina.
We do not operate an animal shelter. We rely on volunteer foster families to provide temporary care for rescued
dogs and cats until they can either be matched with loving, responsible, permanent adoptive families or until lost
pets can ​be ​reunited with their own loving families.

We also have a wishlist set up on Amazon. You will see items we are always in need of. This is an amazing way for us to meet our ​costs of operation - so thanks in advance for supporting the furry kids!

We remain forever grateful to the late
Alice & Charles Carey, Protectors of Animal Rescue
