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.
(352)

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.

You know how everyone has been saying they can’t wait for Autumn? Well, here she is! 🍁

Autumn is the kind of dog who announces herself far before you reach the front of her kennel. She gets a little stressed in her kennel and really wants to tell you about it.

But she’s also the kind of dog that so many people are searching for: sweet, loving, loyal, playful, and simply a really, really good girl. Once she’s out of that kennel, you’ve got yourself a best friend who wants nothing more than to play, give you a big goofy smile, and hang out beside you.

She loves to rough and tumble with her four legged pals, but when people arrive she falls head over paws for them! She soaks up every bit of attention she can get. 💙

Come fall in love with Autumn - just in time for autumn 🍂

Meet Monica - our Pathway Planning Director! 🐾

"I have been with BRHS for 3 years. I started as the Administrative Director and recently stepped into the role of Pathway Planning Director.

I have been working in animal welfare for almost seven years. I was instantly drawn to the programs that BRHS offers for our community and wanted to be a part of the team when I saw the passion and dedication. I truly love animal welfare and could not imagine myself doing anything else!

A typical day for me looks like management of multiple departments - fosters, medical, intakes, behavior, and animal care. It is a team effort, and we all work together to save the lives of the animals that come into our adoption center.

My favorite program is SNIP! Being able to get your animal spayed or neutered for $10 is incredible, and I am so glad we can offer this to our community.

So far, I feel that my work has made the biggest difference with staff engagement and teamwork. Animal welfare is a team effort, and I always want my team to know that I will support and help them reach their goals!

In the past three years, I have been most proud of developing the staff engagement committee. I am really proud of this committee and all that it has accomplished since it started. We have frequent engagement events for staff, and it is great to see everyone come together in the organization. This past year was the fourth field day event that I hosted, and I love seeing everyone from all departments getting to know one another."

Thank you for everything you do each and every day, Monica! 💙

Y'all we really can't get over just how cute this photo of Mika with her foster is 🥹

This sweet senior girl has spent over a month looking for her new people and we're truly heartbroken for her. Her foster told us, “She’s just wonderful! She’s sweet, loving, spunky, gentle, obedient [with a] wonderful disposition and personality! I’d keep her in a minute if I were ready for a dog myself!”

She has so much love left to give, and she deserves to spend her best years surrounded by warmth, soft beds, sunny windows, and a family who adores her. Mika is back with us at the Adoption Center! Someone come get this girl!

This is Louie.

Are you looking for a dog who is good with chickens, respects fences as firm and unquestionable boundaries, and would never dream of telling you who to be?
Then Louie is absolutely NOT the dog for you.

Who is Louie the dog for?
Anyone else.

Louie is a stunningly handsome, speckly gentleman with intelligence, charm, and just enough confidence to make you wonder whether you are actually the one who got adopted.

He’s smart. He’s gorgeous. He’s observant. And he has a particular talent for making sure you remain exactly where he thinks you should be - preferably by following your every footstep like a furry little supervisor.

Fences? Louie sees them less as boundaries and more as suggestions.

Chickens? Let's just say Louie has a taste for poultry and not in a friendship kind of way.

Your personal autonomy? Louie believes everyone is entitled to it, provided they exercise it under his careful supervision.

But if you’re looking for an intelligent, handsome, entertaining dog with a big personality and an impressive ability to keep you on your toes, Louie IS the dog for you.

He may not be everyone’s cup of tea - but then again, Louie has never been particularly interested in being everyone’s cup of tea.

He’s more of a “strong coffee, no nonsense, and I’ll be following you now” kind of guy.

Come meet Louie. Your new supervisor may be waiting.

Looking for a sweet senior kitty to keep you company around the house? Meet Patty! After experiencing some health issues, Patty's loving owner is having to move into assisted living where she can't have pets. So, Ms. Patty is looking for a new home to spend her golden years! 💙

Patty is a very kind, sweet cat who loves her pets. She is great at carrying on a conversation with you when you talk to her and has never met a stranger. She has been a very good cat under the current ownership for 9 years with no known health or behavioral issues.

If you're interested in learning more about Patty, please contact (828) 380-1129.

‼️PLEASE NOTE that this animal is NOT located at our Adoption Center.

What's cuter than a kitten? A kitten getting a bath, of course. 🫧

Our staff does everything they can to make every animal who comes through our doors as comfortable as possible, even when it means doing things they may not love, like getting a bath or having those pesky fleas removed. It may not be fun for them, but it's an important part of keeping them happy and healthy!

Before heading off to foster, Foster Manager Emmy gave little Tumbleweed a much-needed bath. Since she's still a neonate and not ready for adoption, she'll be growing and getting lots of TLC in foster until she's ready. 💙

Have you ever wondered, "Wow, I wonder what the happiest brindle potato in the world would look like." Good news! We have her at the Adoption Center, her name is Maggie, and she's ready to meet YOU! 🐾

Maggie may be missing a leg, but she certainly hasn’t lost a bit of her zest for life! This sweet girl is making wonderful progress with her mobility after transitioning to a tricycle, and she’s proving every day that a little determination (and a whole lot of wiggles) can take you a long way.

Maggie absolutely loves her people and is always ready for some snuggles. She’s also a proud stuffed-bear enthusiast — because every queen deserves a favorite teddy bear! You’ll often find her wiggling her way to the front of her kennel to say hello or happily snoozing away in her cozy bed.

And when we say Maggie is wiggly, we mean WIGGLY. Since losing a front leg, her tail wag has become a full-body experience. When Maggie is happy to see you, her whole body joins in!

This resilient girl is ready for someone who will appreciate her unique way of getting around, cheer her on as she continues to gain confidence, and give her all the love and snuggles she deserves.

Maggie can’t wait to meet you, wiggle her way into your heart, and waddle into the sunset by your side. 💙

We heard September is Happy Cat Month.... but isn't *every* month cat month?!🐱

We're definitely not complaining either way. We'll take any excuse to gush about cats! Like Maisy here snuggled up in a staff member's overalls pocket 🥹

Summer may be ending, but our staff is still soaking up as much sun as they can get! Check out all these smiling faces (and even an unexpected rainbow) at our staff pool party that we held at the Elks Lodge! 🌈

Staff were invited to bring their families, unwind during the busy summer months, and spend some time with their teammates outside of work. It is important for our staff to have opportunities to get to know each other better, have some fun, and take a breather amidst the important work they do every day.

Between diving off the board, soaking up the laughter, and just kicking back together, it was a great way to recharge during one of our busiest times of year.

We are grateful for this awesome crew and everything they do for BRHS and the animals and people we serve! 🐾
