Brr, it's cold out here. Just kidding! Thanks to your generous donations our Chilly Weather Drive was a success! Our dogs can enjoy the cool weather inside their warm igloos.

Gage wanted to personally say thank you for his nice new igloo. While he LOVES his new igloo, we bet he'd love your couch better! He is available for adoption, for more information please call the shelter at 828-837-2304

Hagar is a gentle old soul who cherishes the company of people. She’ll happily curl up beside you for hours, occasionally sneaking a few bites of crunchy kibble—if you leave a bowl nearby. A true nature lover, Hagar would adore having a cozy spot by the window to watch the world go by. While she may become overstimulated at times, she forgives quickly and loves with her whole heart. She may move a bit slower these days, but her curiosity is as lively as ever.

Update : Adopted 🥳🥳

Meet Blake (adorable videos in comments)

This 2.5 year-old boy has been through so much in his young life. He came to us as an owner surrender after living in a home with too many cats. Suddenly losing the only world he knew has left him confused, heartbroken, and very unsure of people.

He’s timid right now and may hide at first, but beneath that fear is a sweet cat just waiting for someone to show him patience, kindness, and love. He does well with other cats and would blossom in a calm, understanding home where he can learn to trust again.

He may take time to come out of his shell, but once he feels safe, the bond you’ll share will be extra special—because he’ll know you were the one who never gave up on him.
