Camp Patriot Animal Rescue & Sanctuary Donations
Welcome to Camp Patriot Animal Rescue and Sanctuary.
First and foremost, Camp Patriot Animal Rescue and Sanctuary is a highly credible, mission-driven not-for-profit 501(c)3 organization, officially recognized by the IRS. With our Employer Identification Number (EIN) 33-1734970, established on November 13, 2024, we are fully committed to transparency, accountability, and the highest standards of integrity in serving both our community and the animals entrusted to our care.
Welcome to Camp Patriot Animal Rescue & Sanctuary, a place where animals in need find safety, love, and a second chance at life. Founded by lifelong animal lovers Nick Jongebloed and Tara Ballard, our sanctuary is more than just a rescue—it's a dream come true, a promise kept, and a commitment to providing a safe haven for animals who need it most.
At Camp Patriot, we currently care for a diverse group of rescued animals, currently including 35 dogs, 9 cats, 7 pigs, and 8 goats. Each animal has its own unique story and deserves a loving environment to heal, grow, and thrive. Our sanctuary provides that environment, offering both foster care and permanent sanctuary for animals who need long-term support.
But we can't do it alone. We need your help to continue our mission. Here's how you can support Camp Patriot and make a difference in the lives of these wonderful animals:
One-Time or Recurring Donation: Your donation goes directly toward our animal food and vet costs, which run into the thousands of dollars each month. With so many mouths to feed, every contribution counts. Whether it's a one-time gift or a monthly pledge, your support helps us keep our animals healthy and happy.
Name Plate on a Kennel: Want to leave a lasting mark on our sanctuary? Consider sponsoring a kennel with a personalized name plate. It's a beautiful way to honor a loved one, commemorate a special event, or simply show your commitment to animal welfare. Reach out for information on this!
Anything in Between: From volunteering your time to donating food and supplies, there are countless ways to get involved. Every gesture of support helps us continue our work and expand our impact.
By donating to Camp Patriot, you're not just supporting an animal rescue—you’re joining a community of compassionate individuals dedicated to making a real difference. Together, we can ensure that these animals receive the care and love they deserve.
Thank you for considering a donation to Camp Patriot Animal Rescue and Sanctuary. Your generosity fuels our mission and brings hope to the animals who call our sanctuary home.

Hurricane Helene Aftermath Update
October 7th, 2024
Hello from CPARS!
First off, I want to let you all know that all humans and animals at CPARS are safe!
Three days before Helene hit, a tornado tore through our property - damaging our barn and destroying several fences that we use to contain and run dogs. Our amazing crew was able to repair those, and miraculously, Helene did not damage them. All of the trees that fell did not fall on any structures. Thank you, God!
Where we are located, we are 15 to 20 minutes from the Lake Lure area, and about 25ish minutes from Chimney Rock. I'm sure you've seen the devastation our sweet towns and locals have endured. And of course, the other towns like Bat Cave, Old Fort, Asheville - so many little towns that experienced devastating loss of both homes and lives.
As with any natural disaster, animals are displaced. We are preparing to take in dogs/puppies, cats/kittens, horses and livestock. We'll need to build more kennels, fencing and pastures for this, which obviously takes time and financial resources.
If you can find it in your heart to give, and consider making a recurring donation, know that your contribution will be to put to very good use.
Also, we are working on obtaining 501(c)3 status, so that will mean that your donations will be tax-deductible, and we will also be able to apply for grants. 🙏
Please pray for all affected by Helene. It is terribly heartbreaking, but one thing is for certain: the people of Western North Carolina are strong and resilient - we will persevere!
7/13/24 Update
July 13th, 2024
Hi All!
First of all, THANKS TO ALL who have donated thus far! We are filled with overflowing gratitude for you!
Second, we have updated our monthly donation goal. Since we set up this fundraiser, we've taken it three more dogs, and we are also dealing with extreme heat where we are. As such, we've invested in lots of fans and are in process of implementing a misting system to help keep the dogs cool.
Our big, hairy audacious goal is to build a very large climate-controlled building that will house all kennels and will have access to outdoor potty areas. That is a ways off, but is definitely needed!
If you are able, we ask that you please consider setting up a monthly recurring donation. 🙏
Thank you so much again for supporting our rescue. We appreciate you so much!
