Blue Ridge Humane Society

Blue Ridge Humane Society We envision a community that embraces compassionate care for pets and their people! In addition, each pet goes home with a 30 day free health insurance plan.
(355)

We are dedicated to ensuring a safe environment for homeless, injured, and abused domestic animals awaiting adoption. BRHS assesses behavior, bathes, grooms, and treats conditions as necessary with all animals under our care. Prior to adoption, each animal is provided with all the appropriate vaccinations, a microchip, dewormed and they are spayed or neutered. We are committed to finding lifelong

homes for every pet. Screening and counseling of potential families contributes to our successful adoptions.

Meet Simone 🐱

Simone is a super shy, super pretty cat with soft eyes and a quiet kind of magic. She prefers gentle corners, sunny windowsills, and taking the long way around new things. Confidence doesn’t come easily to her—but she’s working on it, one brave moment at a time.

Every day, Simone practices being a little bolder: holding eye contact for one extra second, taking a curious step forward, or choosing to stay in the room just a bit longer. These are big victories in her world, and they matter.

She may not announce herself, but Simone feels deeply. With patience, kindness, and encouragement, she’s learning that she’s safe, capable, and already enough. If you’re cheering quietly for her, she feels it—and it helps more than you know.

You’ve got this, Simone. Go at your pace. We’re proud of you. šŸ’›

We love to start our day with a good Happy Tail! 🐱🩵

"Shrimp (formerly Aspen) has developed a love for socks, specifically my boyfriends, and she can smell the lickable treats from a mile away! She loves the cat tree and hanging out with me on the heated blanket and in my sweatshirt! Thank you guys so much for allowing us the opportunity to add a new member to our family and add a little bit more love to our home! We love BRHS!!"

Meet Poe šŸ¤

Poe is the dog you might walk past at first. The one whose greeting comes on a little strong, whose tail wags a little too hard, whose heart shows up before his manners do. And we understand—first impressions are powerful. But Poe isn’t asking to be perfect. He’s just asking for a chance.

When Poe begs for your attention, it’s not because he doesn’t know how to be calm—it’s because he’s overflowing with love and doesn’t quite know where to put it yet. He wants you to see him. To notice the devotion in his eyes, the way he leans in like you’re already his person. Poe dreams of being your confidant, your adventure buddy, your late-night pillow-talk companion who listens without judgment and loves without limits.

Poe has known what it’s like to have a home—and what it’s like to lose it through no fault of his own. That kind of heartbreak changes a dog. It makes him hopeful, a little unsure, and deeply appreciative of kindness. He’s still learning, still growing, and still becoming the best version of the best friend you’ve been looking for. All he asks is your patience, your understanding, and the willingness to look past that first moment.

Give Poe a chance—and he’ll give you his whole heart. 🩷

You may have set a New Year’s resolution for yourself… but did your dog? 🐶✨

Maybe your four-legged friend wants to learn to sit, shake paws, relax, or get along with cats. One of the most common goals for dog owners is polite leash walking—and it is teachable!

🐾 How to get started:
• Reward your dog for standing calmly at your side
• Lure with a treat and take a few steps together, rewarding every few steps at first
• Gradually increase the number of steps until your dog will stay with you for 5-6 steps
• Fade the lure by holding treats at your waist and spacing out rewards

With patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement, your dog can learn to walk nicely by your side. šŸ¦“šŸ•ā€šŸ¦ŗ

For a more detailed breakdown of leash-walking and other training tips, check out the Pet Care and Training Tips page on our website!

This sweet-eyed baby is Duke, one of the pets who is currently available on our rehoming page! šŸ 

Duke is a friendly, loving dog with lots of energy and a big personality. He’s used to an active lifestyle and really enjoys having space to run, play, and explore. Whether it’s zooming around the yard or splashing in the water, Duke is happiest when he’s on the move.

He’s going through a period of transition and is looking for a home that can give him the structure and daily exercise he’s accustomed to. Duke would do best with an active person or family who enjoys spending time outdoors and keeping him engaged. 🄾

Duke is neutered and housetrained, knows basic commands like sit and shake, and does well with cats. He would be a great fit for a home with children ages 12 and up who can match his energy and respect his space.

Duke has a lot of love to give and would make a wonderful companion for someone ready to include him in an active, fun-filled routine. He’s ready to settle into his next home and continue being the loyal, happy dog he’s always been.

ā€¼ļøPlease note that this animal is NOT at our Adoption Centerā€¼ļø

šŸ‘‰If you are interested in Duke, please contact Susan Martin (912) 509-6056 / [email protected]
