Our Mission
We strive to ensure every dog and cat we provide adoption services for are placed in the most loving, empathetic, financially responsible homes where animals are celebrated rather than tolerated. We want our animals to be family members, not "pets."

FAQ
Where is your rescue located?
Our rescue, Appalachian Animal Advocacy, is located in the city of Lenoir in Western North Carolina. Approved adopters will receive directions when invited to schedule a visit to the foster home where the dog resides.
I would like to come by for a visit. What are your hours?
We are private foster homes. We are only open by appointment after the application is completed. Please submit an adoption application so that we can start the process.
What are your adoption fees and what do they go to? How will I be able to pay the adoption fee?
Our adoption fees vary according to the dog. You can view what each dog’s adoption fee is within their profile. We have many expenses with dogs in need. 100% of the adoption fee goes back to the care of the dogs.
We can take checks, cash, or payment through Venmo or CashApp in payment of adoption fees.
Why do I have to fill out an application? Why can’t I just come to meet the dogs and then decide if I want to apply?
If you are not screened and approved for the next step, then it is frustrating to everyone to drive out here and then be told no. We do not hold dogs for any reason.
I have submitted an Adoption Application, how long will it take for me to be approved?
Our counselors are all volunteers. Most have jobs and do their part to help us. We try to be as expedient as possible. Please email with any questions related to your application.
Why do you ask me so many questions in the phone interview?
We want to get to know you. If we get to know you, we can help you select the perfect companion for you.
Do you adopt to people who live in other states?
Yes, we regularly work with out-of-state adopters. All approved adopters must be able and willing to travel to our rescue in North Carolina.
Why don’t you do transport or ship your dogs to new homes? Why does my entire household have to visit?
It’s important that anybody living in your home visit our rescue to
