🚨 HE’S STILL WAITING, AND TIME IS RUNNING OUT. 🚨

This sweet boy is still at Ashe County Animal Control, waiting for someone to choose him.

He’s friendly, he’s looking for a family, and right now he simply needs more people to see his face before his time gets any shorter.

If you’ve been thinking about adopting, please consider going to meet him. If you’re connected with a rescue that may be able to help, please reach out. And if you can’t adopt or rescue, PLEASE SHARE! Sometimes that one extra share is exactly what gets an animal in front of the right person.

He shouldn’t have to keep waiting. He’s so sweet!! ❤️ Let’s help this boy get out of the shelter and into a home.

🐾❄️ A little shelter can make a BIG difference for your outdoor cats this winter!

As temperatures drop, cats living outdoors face some pretty harsh conditions. While a safe indoor home is always best, we know there are cats in our community who don’t have that option. Let’s help give them a warm, dry place to escape the cold! ❤️

Join Ashe Humane Society volunteer Karen Hall for a FREE, hands-on DIY Cat Shelter Building Class!

You’ll learn step-by-step how to turn everyday plastic storage totes into insulated winter shelters. Best of all, you’ll build your own shelter to take home and provide a safe refuge for cats in your care!

📅 Sunday, November 15
⏰ 2 - 4pm
📍 Ashe Civic Center
962 Mt Jefferson Rd, West Jefferson, NC

🛠️ What to Bring:

✅ Two plastic storage totes with lids (one 18-gallon and one 30-gallon)

✅ Insulation materials such as scrap Styrofoam, rigid foam board, or straw

Cutting tools, tape, markers, and some additional supplies will be available!

All ages are welcome! Children under 18 must be accompanied by an adult, as sharp tools will be used. This class is FREE! Just bring your materials and a willingness to make a difference.

Please SHARE with anyone caring for cats who need a little extra protection this winter! 🐾

🚨 URGENT — WH***EY’S LAST DAY!🚨

Wh***ey needs out of Ashe County Animal Control today.

His adoption fee has already been sponsored, and Ashe Humane Society will cover his neuter. What he needs now is someone willing to give him a chance.

Wh***ey is good with other dogs and, while he can be a little shy with men at first, he seems to do well with proper introductions. He may just need a little patience while he figures out that he’s safe. ❤️

If you are interested in Wh***ey, please contact Ashe County Animal Control directly for the most current information.

📞 336-846-5966

And if you can’t adopt, PLEASE SHARE THIS FAR AND WIDE. Send it to friends. Tag rescue contacts. Share it to local groups. His person may simply not have seen him yet.

His last day is today. Let’s get Wh***ey out. ❤️🐾

⚠️ PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT ASHE HUMANE SOCIETY ABOUT WH***EY. He is at Ashe County Animal Control and is not in our care. We are sharing to help increase his visibility, but we cannot answer questions about his availability, temperament, adoption, rescue, or current status.

🚨 URGENT — ASHE COUNTY ANIMAL CONTROL IS FILLING UP, AND THESE ANIMALS NEED OUR HELP. 🚨

Please take a close look at these faces.

The top 3 animals pictured are currently ON STRAY HOLD. They may be someone’s pets.

Are you missing a pet? Do you recognize one of them? Could they belong to someone you know? If you think one may be yours, please contact Ashe County Animal Control directly as soon as possible.

The bottom 3 animals pictured are AVAILABLE NOW for adoption or rescue and need somewhere to go.

The shelter is filling up, and space matters. If you can adopt, rescue, or help connect one of these animals with placement, please do. If you can’t, PLEASE SHARE. Getting these animals seen can make all the difference.

Somewhere, there may be a family desperately looking for one of the pets on stray hold. And somewhere else, there may be a person or rescue who is exactly what one of the available animals needs. Please help us connect those dots before time gets short. They are counting on people to notice them. ❤️🐾
