Shelter FAQs

Rutherford County Humane Society is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization that has been serving Rutherford County since 1979, with the mission to significantly improve the lives of unwanted and neglected animals, and to measurably decrease this number through our spay and neuter programs, volunteer foster homes, and outreach and education. We are an independent organization that works in collaboration with other area animal advocacy groups. All of our efforts depend on our passionately compassionate volunteers, and financial support from the community. We have made the decision to use our resources to continue promoting the number one solution to our pet overpopulation problem - and that is spay/neuter. Our mailing address is still PO Box 998, Rutherfordton, NC 28139. Our website (http://rutherfordcountyhumanesociety.org) is always current, and you can contact us through the web. You will receive a prompt reply. We have adoptable pets posted on the site. If you need to find a home for a pet, you may contact us to have your pet posted on our website. We also post on PetAdoptionPortal.com.
We are located in Western North Carolina, but we serve areas as far north as New Hampshire with our weekly transport.

Additional adoption info

The adoption fee covers the cost of spay/neuter, PVR, Rabies, Flea, tick, ear mite and worm treatment.

We are located in Western North Carolina. Pet transport can be arranged as far north as Maine.
