Hope for Hounds & Humanity

Our fundraiser with BluTattoo Studio was amazing! We never could have imagined the support everyone showed for us and our mission.
Thanks to our community, we raised more than our goal! These donations will be put toward helping the people and animals affected by Hurricane Helene during the long winter months. Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts for showing up for those in need, and helping us make a difference. We couldn't do it without your help.

Join us as we introduce the amazing people who help Hope for Hounds & Humanity thrive! ⭐️

Caleb Smith serves as the President of the Crisis Relief Branch and Executive Technology Director at Hope for Hounds & Humanity. As a Blue Ridge Mountain native and Eagle Scout, he felt compelled to take action when Hurricane Helene struck.
On the ground, Caleb witnessed numerous organizational failures among local governments, first responders, federal employees, volunteers, and disaster relief nonprofits.
Caleb hopes that his years of leadership, training, and certifications in various fields will serve as an asset to Hope for Hounds & Humanity as the organization grows into a force for change when the next disaster strikes.

Twelve. Hundred. Animals —— 7 weeks.

Twelve hundred animals have been rescued from illness or injury because of Brother Wolf in the last 7 weeks.

We have never felt closer to our community. We have shared stories, laughed together, held each other as we cried. Helped each other.

How has it been 7 weeks? The days are going by fast, and we haven’t stopped. It has been challenging, heartbreaking, and soul-filling at the same time. Having a place to put our energy, a way to put our grief and pain into something bigger, has been a gift in the darkest of days.

Rebuilding Brother Wolf’s shelter will be a long path to walk. We understand that, but we don’t have to rebuild the part of Brother Wolf that makes us who we are - because that lives in every person who deeply loves animals, who deeply loves their neighbors and who supports the work we are lucky to do each and every day.
