Animal Rehabilitators of the Carolinas (ARC)

ARC is a nonprofit organization that cares for orphaned and injured wildlife in Charlotte and the surrounding counties. We accept animals on a regular basis, directly or by referral from Animal Control, Humane Societies, The Carolina Raptor Center, veterinary offices, and concerned individuals. ARC is a nonprofit, tax-exempt organization staffed entirely by dedicated volunteers. We are supported totally through donations from the public and receive no city, county, state or federal funding.  All animals are accepted free of charge and with no obligation to the caller.

ARC volunteers hold all required state and/or federal rehabilitation permits. Rehabilitators work from their homes and are required to maintain the highest standards of animal care, overseen by ARC’s Board of Directors, and are encouraged to participate in ongoing educational programs offered by wildlife officials, veterinarians, IWRC & NWRA (national and international rehabilitation organizations).
