WE NEED MORE FOSTER HOMES! 🐾🐾

As most of you know, we have a physical building in Rutherfordton; however we can only house a certain number of animals there due to state regulations.

We rely heavily on our network of Foster families!

We are drowning in requests to take in puppies, dogs, kittens, and cats. We hate saying no, but we can’t continue to take an animals without more foster homes.

Fostering is truly so rewarding and you are saving a life. We provide everything that you would need for fostering at no cost to you.

You can pop in to our rescue center to fill out a fostering application or fill it out online. App below!

Pls email [email protected] if you have any questions.

Good things come in threes, but it’s GREAT when it refers to our three adoptees from last week! Anvil & Lincoln (adopted together) and Queso all found their forever homes with wonderful families. We are so happy for them! Thank you to our adoptees and to our dedicated staff, volunteers, foster parents, and supporters - we couldn’t do any of this without you!

We have other babies waiting for their forever home too. Check them out at www.heartofthefoothills.org/adopt and see if one of them steals your heart! ❤️

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us for our Bingo fundraiser! We had such a wonderful night with around 80 friends and raised an amazing $1,322.

We want to give a heartfelt shout-out to our fabulous prize sponsors: Angie Brooke Boutique, Mi Pueblito, Mill Hill, Fox Tribe, Small Town Coffee Roasters, Copper Penny, and Tina Mote. Your support means so much!

And let’s not forget the delicious food provided by Kelsey Hall, Kandy Hoyle, and Regina Doty of Sweet Thangs by Gina. It was a real treat!

Lastly, a big round of applause for our amazing volunteers—Laura Powell, Kasey Hughes, Shannon Hicks, and Amy Ryan. You guys worked so hard to make the night a success. Thank you all for being a part of this special event!

We have said this many times before, we don’t leave family behind! 💙💙💙

I’m sure many of you remember the pack of puppies roaming downtown Rutherfordton that we took in at the end of July. Three of them were brindled colored Shepherd mixes (their names were Caramel, Rocky Road and Fudge).

One our volunteers saw “Dixie” on Facebook about two days ago. A kind hearted woman had saved her from the streets and had been caring for her for several months but could not keep her long-term.

Our volunteer immediately got in touch with Dixie’s mama, explained the situation and said we would be happy to take her in.

Welcome Dixie! She is a petite, seven month old shepherd mix, very calm and well mannered.
She walks great on a leash and already now knows how to sit and shake!

Dixie will be ready for her forever home soon! She loves other dogs of all sizes, likes cats and kids!

This sweet boy has managed to wander into someone's yard on Hudlow Rd in Union Mills. He seems housetrained and knows basic commands. He is also unneutered. He is safe with the finder, but he can not stay long-term. The finder has current dogs and is not allowed anymore due to her lease agreement. If you know where this dog belongs or if he is yours, please email us at [email protected] or comment on the post.

Best Friends Animal Society is bringing in a mobile unit to offer FREE veterinary services for Rutherford county and surrounding counties that have been affected by the hurricane and have suffered through the devastation this has caused.

The mobile unit will administer vaccines and health exams along with caring for minor medical issues. We encourage the community to come out to get your animals up to date on immunizations, have a health exam, and deal with any minor health concerns you may have.

Working to make Rutherford County a No-Kill community

Our mission is to provide a safe haven for the abandoned, abused, neglected, lost and homeless animals in our county, giving them the time, patience and help they need to a new beginning at life.

We work closely with the county shelter to stop the euthanasia of healthy cats & dogs who are victims of an overcrowded system with limited space and resources. We are able to save these animals through our adoption center/ shelter and our wonderful team of foster homes.

If you are interested in volunteering at our shelter or in becoming a foster parent, please contact us at [email protected] or make a donation to keep our program going through PayPal to [email protected]
