Brother Wolf Animal Rescue

Founded in 2007, Brother Wolf Animal Rescue enhances the lives of companion animals and the people who love them.

We work across county lines with the goal of saving the greatest number of lives possible through strategic, creative, and impactful programming. Through adoption and pet retention programs, a low-cost mobile spay and neuter clinic, lifesaving shelter transfer partnerships, extensive volunteer and foster networks, and a trap-neuter-return program for community cats, Brother Wolf Animal Rescue impacts the lives of thousands of animals each year in the Western North Carolina region. We operate an adoption center in the heart of Asheville where you can meet your next best friend. On our campus you’ll also find our thrift store and retail store whose proceeds help fund our lifesaving programs. We are a community-based organization and rely on the generosity of our donors to continue our impactful work for animals as we receive no government funding. We know that together we can create a kinder world.

WOW, WHAT A NIGHT! 🥹 ❤️

Our hearts are SO full after last night's Floor Plan Unveiling Celebration!

Seeing over 200 community members, volunteers, fosters, adopters, and friends come together to celebrate Brother Wolf's future was incredibly special.

After everything we've been through, sharing the plans for our rebuilt Adoption Center with the people who helped make this moment possible meant the world to us.

The excitement, the hugs, the love in that room... we felt every bit of it! ❤️

THANK YOU for showing up, believing in us, and being part of this incredible journey.

Look how far we've come. And just imagine what we'll do together next! 🐶 🐱

Thank you and for capturing this special night! 📸

Over 30 lives SAVED. All because of YOU! ❤️🐾

Days ago, we shared an urgent plea for help. Puppies were living outside, nursing mamas and their babies were waiting in overcrowded shelters... some were running out of time.

We wanted so badly to say YES to every single one of them. But we couldn't do it alone. Then, YOU showed up.

You opened your homes to foster, you tagged friends and spread the word. You helped us find safety for animals who desperately needed someone to care. 🥹

Instead of uncertainty, they now have warm beds, full bellies, and the chance to rest and grow surrounded by love.

You reminded us, once again, what is possible when people come together. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. ❤️

🚨 URGENT: PUPPIES NEED FOSTER HOMES! 🐶

Over the last 48 hours, we've received multiple desperate calls for help. Behind every call are animals who need a safe place to go…

💔 18 shepherd puppies found living outside after being born under a house.

💔 Two nursing mamas and their puppies living at an overcrowded shelter with their time running out.

💔 Another mama and her 5-week-old Aussiedoodle puppies are facing an especially heartbreaking situation that we need to get them out of right now.

We want to say YES to every single one of them…. But we need foster homes right now to save these lives!

🏡 Could you open your home to a pair of puppies or a momma dog for just TWO WEEKS?

Two weeks of puppy snuggles, tiny paws, and a safe place to rest and grow. A short commitment from you would mean everything to them.

🐾 READY TO HELP? Email [email protected] or visit bwar.org/foster to get started. These animals need temporary foster homes right away in the Asheville area.

Fostering with Brother Wolf is FREE! We provide all the supplies, medical care, and support. You provide the love and a safe place to land.

🫶🏽 Can’t foster? Please SHARE this post, leave a comment, and tag your animal-loving friends. The more people we reach, the more animals we can save.

Two weeks of your time could change their lives forever. Thank you. 🙏🏽

“Borrowing cats” is what Andi calls fostering with Brother Wolf. She lovingly helped nurse Ziggy’s broken jaw back to health and gave his brother, Kevin, all the cuddles he required, carrying him around with her and helping out with mealtimes. “When I feel sad, they make me feel better.”

Our team is looking for foster homes in the Asheville area to help Brother Wolf save lives. Commitments can be as short as two weeks and we take care of all of the costs.

Together we save lives!

Pebbles, Thumper, and Boo were at Brother Wolf on September 25, 2024.

Early the next morning, they were among 100 animals evacuated into the loving arms of emergency foster homes. The devastating flooding caused by Hurricane Helene hit hours later, engulfing our campus. But thanks to this community, our animals were safe.

Two years later, it’s still difficult to put into words what that day changed for Brother Wolf. When we look back, one feeling rises above everything else: gratitude.

Our community showed up when we needed you most. Foster homes opened their doors. Volunteers and supporters stepped forward. Friends near and far helped us protect every animal in our care and aid those in our community who had been impacted by the storm.

Pebbles, Thumper, and Boo are now living beautiful lives with their adoptive families. Their stories a reminder of what was made possible in those urgent hours and in all the days that followed.

As we mark two years since Hurricane Helene, we are remembering all WNC lost, holding close everything that was saved, and feeling deeply grateful for every person who has helped carry Brother Wolf through.

Because of you, they were safe. And because of you, we were able to keep going. ❤️
