Shelter FAQs
Mitchell County Animal Rescue is a non-profit volunteer organization devoted to the rescue and care of abandoned and otherwise unwanted animals. Our primary goal is the promotion of spaying and neutering pets, reducing the population of stray animals, and the education of future generations in humane treatment of animals.
The Mitchell County Animal Shelter is located at 2492 Hwy 19E between Spruce Pine and Penland Road. We are in the Spruce Pine area in Western North Carolina in the Blue Ridge Mountains. We accept animals from Mitchell County residents only, but adopt to families from all over the country. Adopters are responsible for pick-up as we do not transport animals.
