Sunburst Foundation has been a Nonprofit Canine Rescue since 2003. While we are still rescuing canines on a small scale, we have concentrated our efforts the past few years in proactive approach. This entails looking at the “Big Picture” and realizing that unless we stop the in-flow of homeless cats and dogs into municipal shelters, we will never be able to provide rescue to them all. Sunburst Foundation had a very successful grant program

Fundraiser
through an anonymous benefactor in which $5000 was used to provide spay/neuter services to around 50 canines. These were owned canines only and targeted for this grant meaning that they were among the biggest contributors to canine overpopulation in the Pender County area.

Sunburst Foundation would like to dedicate the month of February to the memory of our beautiful Eli, who we miss terribly everyday.
With a broken heart, Sunburst Foundation said "farewell" to our elder rock star spokesdog Eli, in November. He had been our bright, shining star since 2003, when at the age of 5, he was taken into our rescue. While his breed was Newfie/Chow, his main ingredient was made up of heart and soul, with a generous helping of mischief and shenanigans. He always brought a smile to everyone around him. Happy Trails, Partner, till we meet again.
XXOO Your Sunburst Foundation family.

Our group will be starting a new program, "Sunburst Foundation's ~Little Rascals Summer Camp," May 20 at a local facility. Our fosters generally tend to be canines, who have been picked up by local AC and are generally not always the best candidates for adoption, meaning they have some rough edges. All of our foster dogs while loving with people, are not necessarily great with other dogs. Several, Kellan, Chico, Rusty and Turk appear to be hound/bull dog mixes and probably were used for hunting. Chico is thought to be mixed with plot hound and tends to be somewhat "over the top" meaning he is high drive and tends to be possessive of his things, around other dogs. He probably has not had many good interactions with other dogs evidenced by his missing part of an ear on his left. Tanner as well came in with a lot of bite marks. Our training program will be off site and with a local trainer and we will be working on socialization and basic obedience skills to help increase their adoptability. We are so hoping this will be a very positive program for their transition to their "furever" homes.
