Animals saved in total: 4,617. We also aided 5,233 community animals who never entered the shelter. Total animals served in our community: 9,850. Asheville Humane Society is mostly known as the open-admission shelter for buncombe county and a fantastic place to adopt a pet, but we are so much more. As part of our animal shelter, we help animals that are lost, surrendered, neglected or mistreated; who all deserve an opportunity with a loving family of their very own. We provide a soft bed, food, safety, comfort, medical evaluation, medical treatment, vaccinations, and behavioral testing for each animal. From our adoption center we place all animals who can humanely and safely be adopted into a loving home. Our incredibly dedicated staff, generous volunteers, foster families, and donors ensure each animal receives all of the care and resources available to help them thrive in a new forever home. All of our animals in the adoption and education center stay with us until they find their new family, whether it takes hours or months. In addition to caring for the animals that are brought to us, we also serve our community. We have numerous resources available to assist pets and their people in buncombe county. From lost & found, to low cost clinics, to safety net our goal is to keep pets in their homes where they are loved.
