Yancey County Humane Society

"Adopting our dog from this shelter was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The staff took the needs of our household into consideration and were patient with us as we met and considered several dogs before finding our Cazador. The animals here are truly loved, as evidenced by how many staff came out to send Cazador off with kisses and best wishes for his future. They even showed us photos of his mother and siblings! And they answered our many questions and sent his upcoming medications home with us. We highly recommend adopting here and we plan to visit again with Cazador once he's fully settled in. UPDATE: Just another positive to note -- this place follows up with new dog parents a few days after the adoption to check in about any issues or needs and offer support/advice. Considerate and thorough!"

"Awesome place to adopt your next pet! The staff is wonderful & very friendly."

"Awesome place! The staff was very helpful and friendly. Gave us answer to the questions we had about the dog we choose to adopt. Very clean place and all the dogs appeared to be well taken care. I would highly recommend Yancey County Humane Rescue. Thank you for the job you do!!!"

"We adopted Rye from here, and all the staff was very knowledgeable and helpful in the process. You can tell the love they all have in providing care for these dogs and cats. I would definitely recommend this rescue if you're looking to adopt a pet friend!"

"Went to get information about getting my dogs spayed and neutered. They were so helpful and friendly. They had also helped me with some dog food and that has been a huge life saver! I love everything about what they stand for and do. Thank you for doing what you do for our community, and all our fur babies.. Keep being AMAZING! Here's my fur babies you helped feed. Thank you so much!"
