Help Asheville Humane Society Provide Hurricane Relief for Dogs in Need 🐾

The recent hurricane has brought devastating destruction to Western North Carolina, leaving many communities and their four-legged companions in dire need. Shelters in Asheville and surrounding areas are overwhelmed, with more dogs being rescued than they have the resources to care for. They are struggling to provide essential supplies like food, water, and medicine, and there simply isn’t enough space to house the growing number of displaced animals.

Now, more than ever, these animals need our help. Your donation can make a life-saving difference, helping to provide the supplies, care, and shelter that these dogs so desperately in need during this crisis. Our hearts and prayers are with the people and pets of Western North Carolina, and together, we can make a real impact.

Please consider donating today—every contribution, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to providing relief and safety to these vulnerable animals. Thank you for your generosity.

Our Story

This is the land I grew up on. Roaming the woods and fields for hours at a time. This was my paternal Grandfather’s farm. When he passed away he left one quatrter of it to me, one quarter to my brother and one half to my Aunt. I subsequently purchased their shares and also added to the property which now comprises nearly four hundred acres. The fields that once grew to***co and corn are now planted in long leaf pine. There is also a loblolly ine plantation of about 80 acres. The balance of the land has been left in it’s natural state but we do plant approximately 1,000 seedlings of various specie each year. The campus for Martin’s retreat is comprised of approximately 13 acres. On this acreage is a log cabin, a carport/Cookhouse/Bunkhouse, a fellowship building and a small pump house. There are two ponds that both contain bass, bream and catfish. We have planted many fruit trees as well grape vines and blueberry bushes. The man responsible for all plantings as well as the general maintenance of the grounds is DeLane Shelley.
