About Us...
On May 1, 2023 the Ashe Humane Society became a foster home-based rescue that intakes in-danger animals from Ashe County Animal Control only. We no longer have a building nor a shelter and do not take stray animals nor feral cats.
Our Spay/Neuter Financial Assistance Program and the Trap-Neuter-Vaccinate-Return Feral Cat Financial Assistance Program started in August 2023!!
We sold our building in July 2023 in order to use the proceeds to better serve our community with these new programs and help all pets and community cats!!

Ashe Humane Society is proud to announce our new partnership with “Gardeners in Crime ~ A Cause for Paws.” This group, a collection of master gardeners in Boone, NC, propagate and sell plants throughout the year and donate the proceeds to animal rescues, (specifically, Watauga Humane Society). We are thrilled to report that all proceeds this year will go to AHS to help the animals of Ashe County!
How it works: Gardeners works as a Producer under Food Hub in a nationwide network of over 800 plant vendors! Food Hub is under the umbrella of the Boone nonprofit “Blue Ridge Women of Agriculture”. Here’s how it works - you make your purchases online and pick up your plants locally. They are even available on Wednesdays from 4-6pm at the Ashe County Library.
Where to find plants: Don’t wait to check out this enormous online catalogue! Gardeners is bursting at the seams with bulbs and plants ready to go. Contact AHS if you are interested in growing plants to assist Gardeners in Crime.
Get started at Highcountryfoodhub.org to browse the catalogue and learn more about this amazing organization!
