Welcome to Brother Wolf Animal Rescue!

Our mission is to bring about a time where there are no more homeless pets in our community.

Brother Wolf Animal Rescue is a No Kill organization in Asheville, North Carolina. In addition to offering services to our community including free spay/neuter assistance and a pet food pantry, BWAR operates the largest No Kill Rescue and Adoption Center in WNC, second largest in the state. Our Behavioral Counseling and Youth Education programs help promote a better understanding of, and respect for, companion animals.

The 10,000 sq.ft. Joyce B. Cambron Adoption Center, located at 31 Glendale Avenue, is home to up to 100 dogs, puppies, cats, and kittens each day. In this clean, happy, and energetic environment, animals receive mental stimulation and exercise through a variety of enrichment programs. BWAR's dedicated volunteers ensure that each pet receives lots of love and attention until finding his or her forever home. Our friendly Adoption Counselors and Kennel Staff work hard to find just the right match between a potential adopter and a furry new family member.

Please stop by and visit with some of the wonderful cats and dogs, kittens and puppies awaiting adoption. We're open every day from 9am to 7pm. See you soon!

Help us guarantee a safe place for thousands of homeless pets

The residents and businesses of Western North Carolina and beyond have helped Brother Wolf Animal Rescue find homes for thousands of animals since it's inception in 2007.. Now we want to make 31 Glendale Avenue in Asheville our 'furever home'.

Donate to our Building Fund today and help ensure a brighter future for other orphaned pets in need!

Our final goal is $400,000 to purchase the building which houses our shelter and Adoption Center. Donations may be made securely online here, and we also gratefully accept stocks and mutual funds. Checks may be mailed to Brother Wolf Animals Rescue, PO Box 8195, Asheville NC, 28814.
