A Sanctuary For All
Animal Haven of Asheville
100% Volunteer Run
ABOUT US
Animal Haven of Asheville is a place where lost and abandoned animals can find food and shelter from the cruelties of life.
Important Update
We want to remind everyone that the sanctuary itself is currently closed until further notice as we rebuild our footbridge. For your safety and the safety of our animals, the current footbridge is not safe for public use. Additionally, there are materials and equipment around the site that could pose a hazard.
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we make these necessary repairs. We’ll keep you updated and will share a reopening date as soon as the new footbridge is ready to safely allow visitors. Stay tuned for more updates so we can welcome you back soon!
Our thrift store is open weekly with limited hours. Please bear with us as our schedule depends on volunteer availability. Here’s the thrift store schedule for this week:
- Wednesday Closed 2/19 due to weather
- Thursday Closed 2/20 due to weather
- Friday 11am-5pm
- Saturday 11am-5pm
BAG DAY IS BACK! For only $8, get a bag from the thrift shop volunteer and fill it up with clothes. Wrap it, stuff it, roll it, make it fit. This special will be happening every day that the thrift shop is open through the end of February!
