ACR&S was founded in September 2001, with the goal of helping the Orange County APS with the care and adoption of their guinea pigs and other small animals. Initially, all adoptions were handled through the APS, but as the demand for a small animal specialty rescue grew, we began taking in animals and performing adoptions independantly. In January 2004 ACR&S was incorporated as a non-profit corporation, and is recognized as a non-profit by the state of North Carolina. We were granted federal 501(c)3 status on October 18, 2005.
