Friends of Macon County Animal Services-Franklin NC This page is dedicated to the animals who need homes and the Shelter staff who do their best to accomplish this goal. We do not represent the Shelter.

-This page is maintained by volunteers, not Shelter staff. If you have problems, concerns or complaints about an animal problem, please contact the Shelter directly. We are the voice of the Homeless Pets.

-If you are interested in helping foster an animal, volunteer at the Shelter, or adopt, please contact the Shelter at 828-349-2106. A couple of rules and points of information:

-Please don't pl

ace ads for free pets on this page. Don't list unspayed or unneutered pets on this page.
-Do no insult people, including those who surrender their pets or the shelter staff. We will delete any posts that insult another person, threaten legal action against a person, or want to complain about how the Animal Shelter is run. If you feel that you have an issue with the Macon County Animal Shelter, contact John Hook, the Director, at 828-349-2106.

-We reserve the right to block anyone with inappropriate language, breeders (puppy mills and kitten mills) or animal hoarders. Yes, word does get around.

-Please do assist the Shelter in returning pets back to their homes. If an animal is picked up with no tag or microchip, it's difficult to locate the owners unless they come in to the Shelter or see the note on here.

-Call the Shelter to inquire about specific animals. They know what animals are currently available or when they will be available. The page administrators probably don't. If you are part of a 501(c)(3) organization and want to rescue an animal, please coordinate with the Shelter staff, who can tell you of any other efforts that might be going on. The Shelter number is 828-349-2106. You can also send an email to [email protected] The Shelter staff
doesn't maintain this page, so questions posted here might not be promptly answered.

-For your protection, we cannot permit anyone other than the page administrators to post fund raising info here. Please do not donate to anyone else soliciting money for pets at the Shelter.

-Please know that the Shelter is a low-kill facility. Most adoptable dogs and 75% of adoptable cats eventually find homes. The Staff makes every effort to place animals, including foster homes and transports to the Northeast U.S. and Florida. Unfortunately, there are some animals that have to be humanely euthanized due to temperament, or life-threatening illnesses. Each animal adopted from the Shelter has been spayed or neutered and given a wellness exam by a veterinarian.

-Although the Shelter is funded by Macon County, it still needs help from volunteers, including those who are willing to foster an animal or to sponsor an animal (pay the adoption fee) so that its life is prolonged until a home can be found for it.

-Finally, the Shelter is not associated with the Macon County Humane Society or Appalachian Animal Rescue. They are a great bunch of people and we're not in competition with them. The goal of both organizations and their volunteers is to find homes for animals and return lost animals to their owners. And a big thank-you to Pat Thomas with Friends of Jackson County Animal Shelter-NC for suggestions on getting this set up.

A great opportunity to say THANK YOU to the ones that gave us a hand and helped us "Save a Life" during almost 5 years of amazing work as a team to make a difference in our community. As of Nov 1st Animal Control will no longer be called Animal Control, a new Administration took over our beloved shelter and lots of changes have already been put into place. No longer Shots to the pets in the community, no longer help and compassion for the owners of older pets that needed to go to dog heaven, no longer walking dogs and giving them fun while at the shelter, no longer focus on adoptions. But as of November 1st we delivered to the new administration empty cages and EVERY ANIMAL at the Shelter was placed in forever homes, fosters and rescues.. Changes are part of new governments. But in the process they forgot to say THANK YOU to John Hook a Director that worked day and night to help the Community and every single animal in it. A Director that reduced the euthanasia process over 56%, a Director that saw the benefits in Transports, Return to Owners and Adoptions and adopted them as the main goal of his administration. As volunteers the Campaign "Save a Life" wouldn't be possible without his amazing support.. THANK YOU to Noah's Ark and their Team for helping us in emergencies, Spay/Neuter, Health Certificates, etc. without hesitation or worrying about charges., but focused always about the animals in our community. THANK YOU" to Margie Sweeney and Richard Sweeney, Kimberly Stevenson, Sachenka Angel, Caroline Hook, Debby Dillon and every single foster parent, to every one that adopted a cat or dog in our shelter. THANK YOU to big partners like Paula's Pet Paradise, ARF in Jackson County, Asheville Humane Society, Common Sense for Animals, Brandee Garland, Mary Adams,Bettie Ashby, Grace Balcom Phillips, Fiona Duffell, The Estes Fam, Kaleb Xander, Ken Alter, Tyfanee Fortuna , Pat Thomas, Charlene St. John, Trina Baxter Rhyme and more that helped our little shelter be on the map of several rescues, for the compassion to the animals. Macon County Animal Control will no longer exist but the amount of animals adopted, rescued, fostered and transported as far as Canada will ever be THANKFUL as well as their new families! Happy Thanksgiving!!

Today we want to pay a tribute to the ones that during the last year are been there every morning, the ones that put a smile in our faces in difficult times and the ones that welcome you with a happy tale or sometimes a shy scare face or a loud bark!! The ones that as many others were given a second chance but had the shelter as their HOME!! BUDDY, JERRY and MURPHY due to structural changes will no longer be able to be at our facility. Their wag tales and shiny eyes will no longer say hi to us or to YOU. They will be missing but forever love!!
We keep this love in these photographs; we made these memories for ourselves… where our eyes are never closing…. Our hearts were never broken … Times forever frozen still
