The Adoption Center

Our adoption center is open seven days a week (Monday-Saturday 8am-8pm, Sunday 8am-6pm) for you to visit with many cats and dogs looking for homes. To allow yourself time to meet all our wonderful pets, it's best to arrive 45 minutes before closing, if possible.  The center is located at 31 Glendale Ave, just off of Swannanoa River Rd., between Biltmore Avenue and Tunnel Road.  There is a traffic light at Glendale Avenue; turn there.  Head 1/2 mile up the road and you'll see the adoption center on your right hand side; it's a big red and green metal building. Call 505-3440 for more info.

Please note that many of our dogs and cats live in fosterhomes, not at our adoption center. Please use the contact information below to inquire about a specific pet.
