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.

Mainly Clay and Macon counties in NC but we pull from other areas when we find a dog in need that we're able to help. Most adopters travel over 4 hours to get to us. Our record holder for the longest adoption drove 1,007 miles one way.
Additional adoption info
Because of our location, adopters typically come here after approval, sign the contract and take their pet home the same day. We do welcome meet and greets and help them find pet-friendly lodging nearby when necessary.
