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 1/15 11am-5pm
  • Thursday 1/16 11am-2pm
  • Friday 1/17 11am-5pm
  • Saturday 1/18 11am-5pm

We are a ten-acre sanctuary in East Asheville, NC

and have been home to rescued farm animals, as well as dogs and cats, for the past 18 years. Our orgnization is made up of a dedicated group of volunteers with the goal of providing protection and refuge to homeless and abused animals. We provide shelter, veterinary care, and rehabilitation for life, or until someone like you comes and adopts one of our animals. Come visit our rescued animals, shop our thrift store, and attend upcoming events!
