As many of you may or may not know, the Rutherford County Animal Shelter has been passed through a number of hands throughout the years. The shelter's story has had its ups and downs, and as this new chapter unfolds we hope to regain the county's trust and respect in our abilities to save as many of these lives as we can. Great changes are underway and coming soon, so stay tuned!

We are looking for a foster for our old senior guy, Rockstar.

Rockstar has some health issues so we are not sure how much time this ole boy has. We would love to get him in a hospice type foster home. We will supply everything he needs. You supply a safe place for him to live out his life and lots of love.

Please let us know if you are interested in being Rockstar’s foster. You must be local to Rutherford County NC and be able to get him to and from his vet appointments.

Call the shelter at 828-980-0016 to arrange to meet Rockstar. We are open Monday - Saturday 10:00-4:00.

Please make sure your pets have shade and clean, fresh water at all times. They are depending on you.
