6-month-old reindeer hopefuls, brothers Bandit and Bowman, have been practicing to tryout for Santa’s team. We don’t have the heart to tell these cuties they can’t fly, so we’re hoping they get something even better than pulling the jolly man’s sleigh this Christmas. What’s better than that you ask? Why finding forever homes, of course!

Meet the REINDEER litter of 10 adorable 6-week-old puppies that found their way to our shelter as strays. We are heartbroken and exhausted from endlessly picking up the pieces of those that fail animals in our community and refuse to spay and neuter. We are looking for immediate rescue placement for these cuties.

Foster based rescues are unable to support shelters by pulling dogs into their care without committed fosters. Are you interested in fostering any of the puppies above? Send us a DM and we’ll let our rescue partners know.

Puppy info:
•4 females, 6 males
•weight 5.0 lbs-6.8 lbs as of 12/3
•friendly and curious

It is with broken hearts that we say goodbye, fly high, and forever happy tails to our friend, volunteer rescue pilot .

In a world often filled with need and struggle, Seuk was a shining light. A man who put others, both humans and animals before himself. He never hesitated to fly down to our little Anson County airport to help save the lives of our deserving dogs or cats. He flew them all over the East Coast, all over New England. Countless dogs and cats for multiple rescues and shelters, and multiple of our own from Anson County, all living better lives, or living at all, because he gave his time, energy and resources to get them out of shelters down south.

We’re convinced that Seuk fell in love with every animal he met. We hear his voice in videos and remember him laughing as he asked our dogs each flight, “do you like kids? Do you like cats?” as he joked about just bringing them home to his family in Virginia instead. Our hearts are heavy for the animals Seuk would have saved, our hearts are heavy for our already exhausted and often saddened animal welfare community, but our hearts are broken for Seuk’s family.

In a world that is often dark with so many turning their backs to those in need, Seuk never looked away. He always jumped into action. The world needed more Seuks, not less. It is a darker world without him in it. But his inspiration to so many is left behind. His effort will continue to be seen by the many that will cuddle their animals each night knowing they are safe and loved in their homes because of Seuk. His legacy will not be forgotten. Lives will continue to be saved with him in mind. We promise you that, Seuk.

To Seuk’s loved ones— we send our heartfelt condolences, our love, and hope for the future. Thank you for sharing your kind father, husband, family member and friend with us. We are here for you from near and far.

To Seuk— We are forever grateful to you. You will be missed from the skies to the small NC counties you flew to so often. We will continue this work with you in spirit. Fly high, and many happy tails greeting you on the other side.

With heavy hearts,
The Anson County Animal Shelter Staff and Volunteers

It’s that time of year again! We’re less than 2 weeks away from ! We like to start early and are welcoming donations anytime!

Want to donate to something that has a clear, immediate impact? For (and really any day) donations make all the difference for Anson County Animal Shelter/Friends of Anson County (501c3 nonprofit). Donations and funds raised are the difference between life and possible death for our shelter animals, the difference between an animal getting the vet care they need or not, the difference between being able to transport them north to rescue or not. Donations allow us to care for, vet, and move our animals out to organizations with better opportunities. Your money literally saves lives and goes directly to positive outcomes for our animals!

🫶🏼Ways to donate:
Venmo: FriendsofAnsonCounty
PayPal: FriendsofAnsonCounty
Instagram or Facebook: Friends of Anson County
(🔗links in our bio)

Donations to Friends of Anson County go towards…
💉 Intake and Preventative Vet Care (vaccines, dewormer, flea/tick prevention, etc)
🚨 Emergency vet care when an animal comes in significantly injured or sick (we often receive dogs hit by cars or shot)
🥘 Daily meals, holiday meals, and treats including special diets for dogs who come in underweight or sick
🧠 Enrichment activities like water/pool time, lick mats, music time, and other stimulating additions.
👶🏽 Spay/neuter costs— all dogs must be spayed/neutered before adoption
🎾 Toys for play time! So many of our dogs love to play with toys and come alive when given the opportunity.
🚗 Transport Expenses to get our dogs to rescue with other organizations— this includes us driving our dogs which requires gas funds, maintenance on the shelter van, or paying a transport company to take them which can be around $150 an animal.
🥰 General animal well being as they wait for their forever families!

We love anniversaries. Who doesn’t? They’re a reason to celebrate. On Saturday, November 16th Hoss had an anniversary. Unfortunately, not one we want to celebrate. Saturday marked Hoss’ 365th day in our open-intake county shelter. No dog deserves this anniversary. Hoss has been patiently waiting for his forever family since his intake date over 1 year ago. That’s 12 months of hoping, 12 months of wondering if today will be the day he finds a loving home.

Three-year-old Hoss is a handsome boxer mix who is nothing short of wonderful. This boy will make an incredible family dog! He has a set of the cutest webbed paws and an adorable, happy demeanor that will instantly warm your heart. His playful personality is infectious, and he has a way of keeping everyone around him smiling. Whether it’s a game of fetch, a run, or simply lounging around, Hoss is always ready to bring happiness and companionship into your life.

Check out his details and see why this remarkable boy will be a fabulous addition to your home. Give Hoss the love and care he deserves, and he will surely return it tenfold.
