Animal Compassion network

Animal rescue in Asheville, NC

Our mission is to help end the euthanasia of healthy, adoptable pets in our community by finding lifelong, stable and loving homes for companion animals in need; by offering assistance to the community’s pets to help ensure their well-being and to keep them in their homes; by advocating for animal welfare; and by educating the public about the contributions companion animals make to happy families and healthy communities.

To Accomplish its Mission, ACN:

- Maintains an extensive foster/adoption network to find responsible, loving homes for rescued pets;
- Operates pet harmony, its innovative pet store dedicated to making second-chance pets everyone's first choice;
- Provides a comprehensive spay/neuter assistance program to prevent the birth of unwanted animals;
- Offers pet food and dog houses to qualified low-income households;
- Promotes animal-friendly legislation on the local, state and national level; and
- Provides public education programs throughout the area.
