Foothills Humane Society

Foothills Humane Society FHS began in 1957 as the volunteer-operated, Polk County Animal Protection Society, with no facility.
(164)

Foothills Humane Society (FHS) is a private non-profit, 501c3 no-kill animal welfare organization located in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains of Polk County, North Carolina. Eleven acres was generously donated to Foothills in the 1980’s and the facility we currently use today was built in 1989. Thanks to the support of our community, Foothills now employs a dedicated staff to manage the f

acility and its residents. The Board of Directors voted to become a no-kill shelter in 2010. In addition to our successful adoptions and rescue programs, we offer many volunteer opportunities, public training classes, training and behavior assistance for our shelter dogs and boast an average 94% live-release rate, meaning that approximately 97% of our animals are adopted into loving homes or transferred to reputable rescue organizations.

In the wake of Hurricane Helene, our shelter has faced tremendous challenges, but the outpouring of support from across the country has been nothing short of inspiring. During this time of crisis, we have witnessed the incredible generosity of individuals and organizations who came together to help our shelter and community when we needed it most.

We want to extend our deepest gratitude to the following organizations for their unwavering support:
BISSELL Pet Foundation, Hill’s Pet Nutrition , Carolina Goldens, Mobi Dog Pet Salon & Spa, Pet Source (Hendersonville, NC), ASPCA Asheville, Michigan War Dog Memorial, Foothills British Car Club, McGrady, the Fabulous Deaf Dog, and Friends, Red Bell Run, and so many more individuals and organizations who have been more than generous during this time. Your contributions—whether through donations, supplies, volunteering, fostering, or simply spreading the word—have made an immeasurable difference. Because of your kindness and compassion, we were able to keep our animals safe, fed, and cared for amidst the storm.

To everyone who has stepped forward to help, we are beyond grateful. It is because of your selflessness that we’ve been able to overcome these hardships and continue our mission to save and protect lives. Your support is a powerful reminder of what we can achieve when we come together as a community.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.

Caturday Spotlight: Meet Scarecrow Jones 🧡

Scarecrow Jones is a gentle 4-year-old orange and white tabby, with a sturdy 14 lbs of pure sweetness! 🐾 When Scarecrow first arrived at the shelter, he was shy, but this charming boy has truly blossomed into a mild, loving companion. ✨

Purrsonality:
🐱 Gentle-Purrer: He loves nothing more than gentle pets, showing his gratitude with soft purrs and gazing eyes.
🐱 Peaceful-Napper: His cozy Kitty Kasa is his go-to spot for those much-needed, serene catnaps.
🐱 Lap-Loyalist: He's not the most talkative, but he’s all about finding his special person to bond with.

Scarecrow gets along wonderfully with other cats in the free roam room, and his litterbox manners are impeccable. 🐈‍⬛

If you're seeking a laid-back companion to bring warmth and affection into your home, Scarecrow Jones is ready to be your guy! 💕

-Veterinarian records with the pet's name, description, owner's name and address, and vaccination history, AND/OR
-Specific details about the pet (e.g., name, breed, size/weight, unique markings, s*x, spay/neuter status)

To reclaim your pet, proof of current rabies vaccination is required (per NCGS 130a-185):
-A rabies certificate with a valid date, OR
-Veterinarian records showing vaccination history with a valid date
*Note: A rabies tag alone is NOT proof of vaccination.

If your pet is NOT up to date on rabies, we can administer the vaccine here for $15 and you will be able to reclaim.
