About Brother Wolf
Our Mission
Brother Wolf Animal Rescue provides the resources and lifesaving programs to build No-Kill communities.
History
Brother Wolf Animal Rescue was founded in 2007 by a small group of volunteers and fosters led by Denise Bitz and Joelle Warren. At that time, the local county shelter was euthanizing most of the animals who walked through its doors. Brother Wolf was founded with the goal of creating a No-Kill community.
Through adoption and pet retention programs, two low-cost mobile spay and neuter clinics, lifesaving shelter transfer partnerships, extensive volunteer and foster networks, a trap-neuter-vaccinate-return program for community cats, and a northern shelter animal transport program, Brother Wolf Animal Rescue now impacts the lives of thousands of animals each year in Western NC.
