Join fellow animal and art lovers, mingle and bid on great silent and live auction items including artist-decorated furniture, jewelry, pottery, and sculpture, as well as performances, services, dining and vacation trips. The Painted Chair Auction is our signature fundraising event and ensures the continuity of our foster, adoption, and spay/neuter programs.

Advance tickets will be available for purchase online very soon.

Join us for a New Volunteer Orientation

We hold New Volunteer Orientations on the 2nd Saturday of every month for anyone interested in learning more about what we do. You'll learn about fostering and the many other ways you can help homeless and less fortunate animals in the Triangle.

Next Orientation: Saturday, July 12th @ 11am
Please RSVP to IARVolCoor@animalrescue.net for directions if you plan to attend.
