Bebe is a 3.5-year-old Shar-Pei mix who has already lived through more than any dog ever should. She and seven other dogs were heartbreakingly dumped and arrived in our care in rough shape — but despite it all, Bebe’s gentle, forgiving spirit continues to shine through.
At first, she can be a little unsure — after all, life hasn’t always been kind to her — but once she realizes you’re someone who won’t hurt her, her sweetness absolutely blossoms. She leans in for love, wags her tail shyly, and starts to let her true, tender personality show.
You might notice Bebe’s skin and coat are still healing, and we want to clear up the biggest question right away: ✨ Her condition is caused by Demodex mange — and it’s NOT contagious! ✨
Here’s what that means: • Demodectic mange is caused by microscopic mites called Demodex. • These mites are normally present in small numbers on most dogs (and even people!) without causing any issues. • When a dog’s immune system becomes compromised — often due to neglect, stress, or poor nutrition — the mites can overgrow, leading to hair loss and irritated skin.
With proper care, love, and a little time, Bebe’s skin and coat will continue to heal beautifully!
Bebe is great with other dogs and finds comfort being around them — it’s like she knows they’ve been through the same things. She’s slowly learning what it means to just be a dog: playing with toys, enjoying treats, and realizing she doesn’t have to worry about survival anymore.
She and her friends are all incredibly sweet, gentle, and deserving of so much more than the cards they were dealt. Bebe is ready for the next chapter — one filled with safety, kindness, and unconditional love. 💛Puppies 6 months and under are typically $200 and dogs from 7 months to 6 years are typically $100.00. The adoption fee may be higher or lower than stated however, and is dependent on many factors including age, behavior, medical condition and demand. All dogs 7 years and older are free under our Saving Seniors program. We frequently run discount specials and occasionally a dog will be more than the stated fee.
Most cats and kittens are $35.00, however there may be instances in which the fee is higher or lower, due to age, behavior, medical condition or demand. With felines, we always have an "Adopt one, bring another one home for free" adoption special!

More about this shelter
The Yancey Humane Society & Animal Shelter is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit corporation located in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina, just 30 miles northeast of Asheville. We take all animals brought to us: strays, ferals, dogs, cats, and also, personal pets on a case by case basis. We provide a loving temporary home until they can be placed in a permanent home. We are not a "no kill" shelter, however, we do not euthanise for time nor space. We treat all animals as individuals and temperament test them for adoptability. This way, no one slips through the system, and we know each and every personality in the house. So, if you are looking for a pet, we can help match you with the perfect friend who will fit your lifestyle.
