    Posted 09-30-2024 11:54 AM

    Good Afternoon all,

                     We are looking to see if there has been a list made of the shelters that have been affected in western North Carolina that we can help. Obviously, with no cell service or power they may not be able to just answer the phone. Any guidance would be awesome

    URGENT: Asheville Humane Society needs our help!
    The catastrophic damage from Hurricane Helene has overwhelmed the Asheville Humane Society, and countless animals are in desperate need of safety. We're partnering with BISSELL Pet Foundation to rescue as many pets as possible, but we can't do it without your help!
    We need emergency fosters to help us take in these animals! If you've never fostered before, that's okay! Fostering is completely free-Forsyth Humane Society will provide you with all of the supplies you might need to help care for one of these animals. Every foster home we can secure is another life we can save!
    If you can step up to help us out, please email foster@forsythhumane.org with the subject line "Hurricane Helene Foster", or check forsythhumane.org/foster for incoming animals. THANK YOU for your willingness to help and your dedication to animals in need. Please share this post to help us reach as many fosters as possible!


    As the effects of Hurricane Helene become known across Western NC, the Humane Society of Charlotte is stepping up to support our neighbors and their pets. On Monday, HSC staff with deploy to aid dogs and cats being flown from Asheville shelters through an effort coordinated by the BISSELL Pet Foundation.
    YOUR HELP IS NEEDED:
    If you've been considering adoption, we invite you to please visit HSC! By giving one of our adoptable animals a home, you'll not only gain a loyal companion but also create space for pets coming from hurricane impacted areas who will need specialized medical care and behavioral support. You can view our available animals at humanecharlotte.org/adoption. You can also visit our shelter at 1348 Parker Drive any time we're open.
    ADDITIONAL WAYS TO HELP:
    Send a monetary donation to Asheville Humane Society - ashevillehumane.org
    Send a monetary donation to Brother Wolf Animal Rescue - bwar.org
    Food, supplies, and monetary donations will help HSC help our neighbors in need - humanecharlotte.org
    Certified, trained teams are working to help people and animals in the flooded regions. If you are interested in volunteering to help, visit ASPCA.org or humanecharlotte.org/volunteer.
    We thank you in advance for supporting our friends and neighbors in need.
