💙 Giving Tuesday: Every Animal Has a Story
The Haywood County Animal Shelter reminds the community that every furry friend arriving at the shelter carries a story—some scared, some sick, some abandoned. Your support helps FoHCAS write happy endings for these animals by covering gaps the county budget can’t:
Medical care for sick and injured animals.
Nutritious meals for hungry bellies.
Grants and partnerships that expand care.
Promotion to connect adoptable pets with loving homes.
