I foster through the Asheville Humane society so I get a lot of hands on experience here. They’re so great to all of the animals and always take such good care of them. The adoption fee includes so much!

I want to turn my dog in to this shelter because the pound kills animals. Does this shelter accept dogs?

Jayla Robinson | Sep 17, 2019
Joey Phillips | Sep 17, 2019

The buncombe county Animal shelter, located next door is where you would surrender an animal. If the animal is deemed adoptable after its assessment and there is room at the facility, the animal would be placed into adoption. Both facilities try very very very hard not to euthanize animals, but unfortunately thousands of animals are abandoned and only hundreds are adopted. The Humane Society works with other local nonprofit agencies to try to place animals into adoption.

Asheville animal control is locatedNext door to the Asheville Humane Society, that is where you would surrender animals or you can call animal control in a situation like this and they should be able to come out to you. There is also Brother Wolf Animal rescue, I'm not sure where they are in their capacity at this time

If you explain that you had turned her in and have any papers proving that you owned her they might allow you to see her records. I'm not sure if it always works but it's at least an idea.

It depends. I really don't know exactly but I do know that have buy one get one free, because I did it. Sometimes just $5. I'd go and talk to them and if they ask to much ask if they would take less.
