Gypsy is a 1 and 1/2 yr. old German Shepherd/ Blue Heeler mix weighing in at about 45 lbs. Her foster mom tells us she's almost perfect , loves people, loves kids, house and leash trained, just NO other dogs, no cats or other small animals. She needs space to be the top dog of her realm.
Gypsy is sure to find her home very quickly. If you're interested, please email us for an application! We fully vet applicants to ensure the best possible home and match for dogs in our care. Gypsy is up-to-date on vaccinations, de-wormed, heartworm negative, spayed and microchipped. Her adoption donation is $150, allowing us to rescue another dog in need.

Meet everybody's best friend, Buddha! This smiley guy LOVES everyone he meets and they fall head over heels for him as well. Buddha definitely is confused on why he is hanging out with us and we think he would be much happier settled into a home with a new family. He is very affectionate (gives endless amounts of kisses) and is more interested in pets than toys or treats.

Beauford is a whole lot of cute in a small package. This shy guy is great around people once he learns to trust you. He missed the memo on how to be a "real" donkey and does not get along with other smaller livestock. Beauford does great in a herd of larger horses though! He would make a great pasture mate for an only horse needing a friend. For more information, please email adoptions@ashevillehumane.org.

Petite and very, very sweet... Grace is a purrrrrfectly poised kitty that is ready to find her new chateau. Originally a stray, we have no idea how she found her way to us but we are honored to be able to help her with her new journey. Grace may seem a bit shy at first but this calico queen is a purr machine. She would love to perch herself next to your most desirable window and survey her lands to protect them from the sky dragons aka birds.

Fajita gets one of our most improved awards! This sweet baby angel went from hissy and fearful to a purr machine. Fajita is very playful and loves attention. She is a certified cuddle bug now that would probably love another cat in her home. Her #1 favorite toy is a pipe cleaner but she also loves her troop of mouse toys that she sleeps with. Her foster even thinks that with a cat savvy dog, Fajita could warm up to! If you think you have the home for Fajita then consider applying for her today!

This green eyed beauty came to us when her previous owners could no longer care for her. She is sweet but is still having trouble adjusting to this new place. She would do best in a home with a family that is patient and willing to give her all the time she needs to get comfortable. If you're interested in meeting her, please give us a call to schedule an appointment.

Jett is a sweet 10 year old cat who's very peaceful and low energy. He loves to sleep on his fleece blanket next to the window. He is on thyroid medicine, twice a day, but he's really easy to pill, and does really great with pill pockets! He does like to check in with his human friends, especially if they are having a snack in front of the TV - he loves his treats, and he loves people food, so don't turn your back!! He has the funniest way of letting you know he needs something (like a snack) - he stares at you with this certain expression, and you know it's snack time!! He will come sit in the kitchen for company sometimes. He's affectionate and purrs a lot, but isn't terribly cuddly. He seems to shed a lot, but LOVES being brushed, so it's not a major problem. He does okay with my 3 cats, though I think he's a bit intimidated by them and keeps his distance. He also does fine with the two 15 pound dogs, they mostly just ignore each other. He will do best in a quiet household. I don't see him interacting with children well, I think kids would be disappointed at his seeming lack of interest in people (it's really just cautiousness, and quiet personality). I do see the potential for him to come out of his shell a lot, if he doesn't have my obnoxious cats lurking around.

oby is a very sweet soul. He is a bit shy and can often be found in his "cave bed", but does love attention! He often shows his little tummy for some belly rubs. Toby is definitely a kitty that gets overstimulated by shelter stress and will need some time to decompress once his forever home chooses him! Toby will need a patient and gentle owner. He loves other cats!
