No Pets Left Behind!

Friends, please help us clear our local shelters!!! This Saturday, August 20, is International Homeless Animals’ Day and Asheville Humane Society is launching our very first “No Pets Left Behind” adoption event. During the busiest time of year with the most animals in need, our goal is to clear WNC shelters and find loving families for every homeless pet!

Regional shelter and rescue organizations were invited to participate by reducing their adoption fees, and these groups joined the team effort:
Blue Ridge Humane Society (Hendersonville)
Foothills Humane Society – Polk County, NC (Columbus)
Macon County Animal Services (Franklin)
Madison County Animal Services – NC (Marshall)
Sarge’s Animal Rescue Foundation, Inc. (Waynesville)

(Adoption fee discounts vary at each location – please refer to each organization’s website for details, address, hours, etc.) Stop by one or more of your local shelters on Saturday to help make this lifesaving event a huge success!

If you can’t adopt, please SHARE to help our local animals in need! Together, we will make sure there are no pets left behind!

The 14th Annual Franklin Area Folk Festival, “A Celebration of Appalachian Heritage” will be held on Saturday, August 18, 2018 from 10 am to 4 pm at Cowee School Arts & Heritage Center, 51 Cowee School Drive, Franklin, NC. Celebrating all things Appalachian, this family-friendly festival features live heritage demonstrations, Appalachian crafts, Civil War Re-enactors/Camp, kids’ activities, food, textiles/quilting & more!

Plus, youth ages 18 and under, showcase your talent and take part in the Mountain Youth Talent Contest performing live on stage at the festival. (Visit www.FranklinFolkFestival.com for more information). Inside Cowee School, artisans exhibit our rich heritage by teaching us about pottery, textiles, painting, and local history. The festival sponsors hands-on activities allowing visitors to experience what mountain life was like way back when as demonstrators share what they learned at their parents’ knee: woodcarving, blacksmithing, moonshinin’, weaving, spinning, and many other heritage skills. This FREE event offers parking and shuttles to and from the school. Co-sponsors: Folk Heritage Association of Macon County and Cowee School Arts & Heritage Center. www.FranklinFolkFestival.com.
