Hi everyone, we got great news we will start with spay neuter again the week of 11/20. These are very small numbers while the clinic is working to get everyone back up and running their regular numbers. So be on the lookout for texting from us.
Be safe out there and STAY STRONG WNC.🐈‍⬛🐕🐱🐶

For those asking how to sign up on our page we have a spay neuter form found under Good News and in the feed. Please be aware my waiting list is long so please be patient.

Please please get the word out. Keep your pets close do NOT let them drink the water with all the debris and....in it. It is full of toxins and can kill your pet. Please keep them on a "short" leash and give them bottled water or boiled water. Everyone talk to your vet!!!!

We received an update from the Asheville clinic. All surgeries have been put on hold at this time and when they start back will pick up with those who were scheduled at the time now hurricane Helene. It will probably be a couple months.

We hope and pray everyone including the fur babies made it thru the storm alive and for those who lost Loved ones and fur babies our deepest sympathies go out to you and your family.

Please text if you have questions or concerns. My service is not great and I sometimes get them and other times they come few days later. Please bear with me as I help our communities recover from Helene.

Hi everyone, if you have a scheduled appt with us this month for spay/neuter we are canceling as ASPCA is day by day operations and as I 40 is closed. No one can get thru. Phone services are coming on little by little. We pray everyone is good after the hurricane. I, myself cannot get out and I don't expect anyone else too either. Be safe and let the Lord protect and keep you. You can text me 828-317-7401 if needed.

We have some upcoming appointments available for Male dogs. These appts have weight limits of small (below 15 lbs) and Medium (16-30 lbs). To tell the truth I have about 7 large dogs on my list total for Males. If we don't have any that get registered, we might have to cancel the male dog spots when my list is done.

Go register on spay/neuter form under Good News.

Thanks

Beware of the Eclipse's danger to your pets. We are very sensitive to it...so are your fur babies. We know they want to lay in the sun. If yours are like mine the curtains have to be taped down!!!

April 8th 1:30 to 4:30

Please leave all your pets indoor with blinds and curtains closed on the day of the Eclipse for the safety of your animals! This came from a vet tech in Canada who is advising pet owners.
