An open letter from the Board of Directors for Mitchell County Animal Rescue:

Best Wishes to our Amber Lowery!

August 4, 2025, was Amber’s last day as Executive Director of MCAR. We are all incredibly sad to see her go, but we wish her well on her new endeavors and pathways through life.

Amber was more than the Executive Director for MCAR, she is a friend, a family member, an advocate, a peacemaker, and all-round champion of all things Mitchell County. In short, Amber is a Saint. “Saint Amber,” protector of all critters large and small.

Amber started her journey with MCAR over 18 years ago, cleaning kennels, feeding, and nurturing the animals in our care. As time went on, Amber demonstrated her ability to the lead staff and to advocate for the shelter’s needs. In late 2019, the Board of Directors giddily accepted her application to fill the vacant ED position. We never looked back.

It wasn’t easy. 2020 marked the start of the pandemic with new requirements for protecting staff while still caring for animals moving through the shelter. Amber waded through hoarding cases, quarantines due to major outbreaks of disease in our over-crowded and aging shelter, changes in staff and ultimately assisting the community in emergency management of animals and families affected by the flooding and damage from Hurricane Helene in 2024. The word “stressful” does not even begin to describe those years. But through it all, Amber persevered and has managed to leave us with a shelter that is better than when she took the ED position. Much better! And for that we thank her.

We love you, Amber! Don’t be a stranger.
MCAR Board of Directors

We are in need of some items for dog and cat enrichments. These enrichments keep the animals engaged and stimulated while they are in our care. We have suddenly found our supplies are almost gone!!! Please help us restock the following items

Cottage cheese (the cats LOVE this)
Yogurt (plain low fat)
Peanut butter
Pumpkin
Canned dog food
Canned cat food
Vanilla ice cream (the dogs and cats love it)
Tuna
Squeeze cheese
Watermelon
Low sodium beef and chicken broth
Toilet paper/paper towe rolls

These might be some odd requested items to some but the dogs and cats love these food items stuffed into puzzles, as frozen treats, or card board boxes.
Things can be dropped off at the shelter during normal hours! Our shelter animals thank you!!!
