Stella's Rescue is a registered 501(c)(3) animal rescue based in winston-Salem, North Carloina
What We Do
Rescue
Stella’s Rescue is for the forgotten, the misfits, and the magical. From donkeys and goats to dogs and cats, every creature we take in is a reminder that second chances are worth the work.
Rehabilitate
Our small family farm started as a haven for animals who had nowhere else to go and it's quickly grown into something bigger: a rescue rooted in kindness, curiosity, and community.
Reconnect
Stella’s Rescue is about more than saving animals. It’s about building relationships, supporting families, and creating meaningful moments that help our neighbors learn, connect, and care together.
DOGS
GOOD DOGS. WEIRD DOGS. YOUR DOG?
Big ones, little ones, couch potatoes, chaos agents and everything in between. Our adoptable dogs come to Stella’s from all kinds of circumstances, but they’re all here for the same reason: a chance at something better.
We take the time to get to know each dog, what makes them happy, what they need, and what kind of home will help them thrive. Because finding a home is great. Finding the right home is even better.
CATS
SMALL CREATURES. VERY BIG OPINIONS.
Our adoptable cats have personalities all their own. Some want to be involved in absolutely everything. Some would prefer you admire them from a respectful distance until further notice. And some will be asleep in your lap approximately six minutes after meeting you.
Whether they came to us scared, stray, surrendered or simply needing a second chance, we’re here to help them find a safe, loving home where they can be exactly who they are.
*Stella's Store disclaimer
When you shop Stella’s, you’re not funding our future yacht. You’re helping us feed, care for, and rescue animals. We use quality products, keep prices reasonable, and make very little after merch, packaging, fees, and shipping supplies. So think of it less like buying a hat and more like supporting an animal rescue and getting a cool hat in return.
Orders might be a little late. There might be a dog hair. We might make a mistake. If something’s genuinely wrong, message us and we’ll make it right.
Just don’t be a dick.
We’re an animal rescue.
A home for any herd.

COME GET YOUR HANDS DIRTY.
WE MEAN THAT LITERALLY.
Stella’s runs on good people who don’t mind a little fur, mud, slobber, hay, and the occasional questionable smell.
Whether you want to walk dogs, socialize cats, help around the farm, lend a hand at events, transport animals, or put your own skills to good use, there’s probably a place for you here.
You don’t need rescue experience. Just some time, a willingness to help, and a soft spot for the wild, worn and wonderful.
