Shelter FAQs
Asheville Humane Society is about hope, not heartache. As Buncombe County’s critical safety net since 1984, we are always here to save and protect every animal. We have mastered the art of saving lives within our walls and now we are going even further, helping our community’s pets and their people thrive together. We are going beyond a no-kill community to ensure that each animal has the quality of life they deserve – a life worth living.
We adopt to all areas, but only take in animals from Buncombe County and cities/townships within Buncombe County (Asheville, Fairview, Candler, Leicester, Arden, etc).
