About Brother Wolf Animal Rescue

Who We Are

Brother Wolf Animal Rescue

Brother Wolf was initially formed in the fall of 2006 by a small group of volunteers and later incorporated in the spring of 2007. In early 2009, our cat friends joined us, and in June of 2009, we became a licensed shelter. Over the just the next year, we found homes for 1,300 cat and dogs!

We are also working closely with Buncombe County, and other animal rescue groups, in a program called "Save a Life" Campaign, whose goal is to end the euthanization of healthy adoptable companion animals in Buncombe County by the Year 2012.

What We Do

Brother Wolf Animal Rescue, AshevilleHere at Brother Wolf, we rescue dogs and puppies, cats and kittens from local shelters, owner surrenders, and those who are strays. By taking these animals into our homes, we are able to provide them with a loving, nurturing environment where we can learn a lot about a particular pet.  We get a good feel for what an ideal family would be for a particular pet, because we spend so much time with them.  In addition to all the emotional care we provide, all of our pets are treated for any pre-existing medical conditions, such as heartworms or broken bones (just to name a few), and are spayed/neutered. 

Our Puppy Transport Program

As you may be aware, the pet overpopulation problem in the Southern states is overwhelming. On a daily basis, hundreds of perfectly adoptable dogs, including puppies, are euthanized simply because there is no where for them to go. Brother Wolf Animal Rescue has created a program where we partner with local shelter and pull litters of puppies whenever possible. BWCR also intervenes when an owner in the community contacts us directly and wants to surrender a litter of puppies. The owner of the puppies agrees to spay the mother dog, as well as any other intact pets in the household. By keeping puppies out of shelters, BWAR keeps these cute little ones out of shelter environments, where they often contract Parvo or other deadly diseases. We then transport the puppies to adoption centers and no-kill facilities in the Northeast, where they are quickly snatched up by happy adopters.

A Report From a Recent Transport:

This is why Brother Wolf Animal Rescue has been so successful at saving lives in our community.  It is because of the help of others that we are able to do what we do.  About 3 weeks ago, we received a call from Angela Davis at Madison County Animal Shelter that she had a litter of lab mix puppies who came to her shelter with no mom and needed some extra TLC in order to survive.  Knowing that BWAR has a soft spot for special needs pups, she made that call and coordinated getting pups to the care of BWAR where some wonderful foster families were standing by, ready to do the bottle feeding and extra "nursing" care that goes along with pups who lose their mom too soon. Thanks Angela for being the first link in this amazing chain of events. After weeks of extra loving, good food and care, the pups were ready for the next phase of their journey which for us, meant reaching out to our partner shelters up North to see if they had the space.  Unlike our shelters in the South, the Northern shelters rarely see litters of puppies and often welcome them into their care.  Ramapo-Bergen Animal Refuge in New Jersey has been successful at helping a lot of our dogs/pups find homes quickly so they don't have to lanquish in our shelter here.  So, with the help of Enterprise Van and some wonderful volunteers on both ends, 11 dogs and puppies made their way today to start a new life and hopefully after they are adopted, will never have to see the inside of another animal shelter again.  Thanks to all who made this happen today and to everyone who continues to help us on our mission to see a day when there are no more homeless pets in our community.
