Make a Gift
There are many ways to give to the shelter, through either a general donation, or through an exclusive or personalized naming opportunity. By making an investment in Haywood County’s animal shelter, you’ll be investing in the local economy and providing animals and county residents with services they need.

Ok supporters….
Tomorrow is the big day! Even if you don’t join the poker run, you can still come on out to Jukebox Junction from 9-11 or Head to BearWaters from 130pm-3 and purchase raffle tickets for some killer prizes and we’ll also have a 50/50 drawing. The after party event will be at BearWaters and we’ll have live music.
Or stop by one of the stops and leave a donation or even visit Jack the Dipper anytime Saturday. They will be donating 10% of sales on Saturday to FRIENDS.
