My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Diesel loves to be around people. He is a big love-bug with people. We do recommend he be the only animal in the home. Definitely no cats. He's done well with children of all sizes, but he does not have manners.

More about this shelter

Established in 1962 as a valuable service to the people of Macon County. We are a registered 501c3.
In 2014, to avoid being confused with the new county animal control facility, the Mason County Humane Society began doing business as Appalachian Animal Rescue Center, a no-kill humane society.
Our shelter, located at 851 Lake Emory Road in Franklin, houses some 80-100 dogs and cats. Animal Care Technicians provide for our animals 365 days a year. We offer low-cost spaying and neutering, vaccines, and microchip implantation through Humane Alliance, and ASPCA clinic in Asheville. We take in animals from the public, as well as animals from the county shelter, and place them in permanent homes. Our transport program, meanwhile, gives cats and dogs a second chance in areas of the country where available pets are scarce.
