Western North Carolina Animal Rescue Support

At Rescue Ranch, we are deeply concerned for those affected by Hurricane Helene, both human and animal. While we experienced minor damages, our thoughts are with our neighbors in Western North Carolina (WNC) and the rescue personnel who are on the front lines. We’re grateful to serve as a base camp for Animal Search and Rescue (ASAR), and proud of our founder, Krissie Newman, who has joined their efforts in WNC. We are committed to supporting animal rescue efforts by collecting funds and supplies for the affected county shelters and rescues. Rescue Ranch is also a donation drop-off location for dog and cat food, livestock food, Kitten & Puppy food (wet & dry) and we will deliver these items to WNC as needed. Please join us in supporting our neighbors and ensuring animals receive the care they need.
