DO NOT TRUST THIS SHELTER.\r
\r
THIS SHELTER HAS BEEN IN TROUBLE FOR SEVERAL REASONS. THEY TAKE PETS AND PUT THEM DOWN CLAIMING TO BE A LIVE SHELTER. iF FRIENDS OR NEIGHBORS SUGGEST THEY ARE TAKING A PET. DO NOT. THE DIRECTOR IS A NONCARING PERSON AND WILL TELL THEM WHATEVER COMES TO MIND BY LYING AND MAKING UP STORIES TO TRY AND COVER LIES. THE LIES HAVE CAUGHT UP WITH HER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. PLEASE DON'T LET ANYONE PUT A PET IN THIS SHELTER. YANCEY COUNTY HAS A MUCH MORE CARING AND SUPPORTIVE SHELTER AS WELL AS AVERY COUNTY. IT IS VERY LIKELY THE SHELTER COULD BE CLOSED DOWN. THEY TAKE PETS AND SEND THEM OFF TO ASHEVILLE TO BE EUTHENIZED. PLEASE DO NOT LET ANYONE YOU KNOW TAKE ANY PET THERE FOR ANY REASON.
Pros: NOT
Cons: NOT TRUSTWORTHY
