Who We Are
We are a non-profit animal rescue group located in Western NC: about 45 minutes southwest of Asheville, NC and about 1/2 hour west of Hendersonville, NC.
Our Mission: Advocates for Animal Welfare
Our Vision Statement: To reduce the number of unwanted pets, as well as the incidence of animal abuse and neglect, in Transylvania County.
Our Primary Goals:
To decrease euthanasia by increasing pet adoptions,
To reduce numbers of unwanted animals by sponsoring spay/neuter inititatives,
To educate the general public about responsible pet care,
To recruit, enroll and train volunteers for these efforts,
To work together with the County government, and existing animal organizations, to meet the above goals.
Adopting a friend
You will be asked to complete an adoption form so we can make a better match with you and your new pet. We ask for a $85.00 adoption fee which covers: spay/neuter, shots, boosters, worming, testing (dog and cat), and microchipping. Also free 30 day pet insurance!
Will You Be a Foster Parent?
We will happily match you with an animal that fits into your home and lifestyle.
If you think that you have room in your heart to foster an animal, ask us some questions. There is no obligation, and it might be the most rewarding experience you've had in a while!
Fostering was largely responsible for the following statistics ...

Already have a pet? Is it spayed/neutered?
Please help us by spaying or neutering your pet! If everybody did that we would not need to rescue any unwanted animals from shelters! Financial assistance available - leave a message on our voicemail (see below).
