Join Us at Bull City Rumble!

On Saturday, September 4th, the generous folks from TONUP-NC will be donating ALL PROCEEDS from the 6th annual Bull City Rumble (1900 West Markham Avenue, downtown Durham) to help the animals of Independent Animal Rescue. This is a great opportunity to attend a fun event and support IAR at the same time! The Bull City Rumble includes an amazing vintage motorcycle show and other great events throughout the day and a rockin’ concert at the Tavern in the evening. Buy your tickets online!

Help us spread the word! Invite your Facebook friends using our Bull City Rumble Event page -- just click the link at the top left to 'Select Guests to Invite'. There will be plenty of food, drink and activities for the entire family. What a great way to spend Labor Day weekend!

IAR's annual Painted Chair and More Auction was a HUGE success!

We were able to surpass our goal of raising $20,000 to help local cats and dogs in need. These donations will be used to provide much needed veterinary care, food and shelter to hundreds of animals who need us, including shelter pets and strays. These funds will also be used to provide spay/neuter and routine vaccinations to pets owned by low-income individuals. A very special thanks to all of our sponsors, donors and volunteers for making the event such a wonderful evening to remember! If you would like to contribute to next year's Painted Chair and More Auction and would like to attend our Painted Furniture Workshop, please contact us at info@animalrescue.net
