Dog rescue in Hayesville, NC

We're located in the middle of the Nantahala National Forest, a full mile from the closest neighbor. This rescue started because people were dumping unwanted dogs in the woods for the coyotes to dispose of. This is the effort of the family of one disabled woman who prayed for purpose and was sent 5 starving abandoned hunting dogs.
