Brother Wolf Animal Rescue in Asheville!
Our Mission
Brother Wolf Animal Rescue provides the resources and lifesaving programs to build No-Kill communities.
History
Brother Wolf Animal Rescue was founded in 2007 by a small group of volunteers and fosters led by Denise Bitz and Joelle Warren. At that time, the local county shelter was euthanizing most of the animals who walked through its doors. Brother Wolf was founded with the goal of creating a No-Kill community. Through adoption and pet retention programs, extensive volunteer and foster networks, a trap-neuter-vaccinate-return program for community cats, a northern shelter animal transport program, and a low-cost mobile spay/neuter clinic, Brother Wolf now positively impacts the lives of thousands of animals each year.

Mobile Clinic FAQs
Q: Why should I spay or neuter my animal?
A: Puppies and kittens reach sexual maturity as young as 4 months old. Spaying and neutering your pets early is the best way to prevent unwanted litters. Cats and dogs who become pregnant at a young age are more likely to have complications from pregnancy and give birth to premature or underweight litters.
Q: At what age can I spay or neuter my pet?
A: Our Mobile Clinic will spay and neuter animals as young as three months old. If possible, surgery should be scheduled before your pet reaches sexual maturity at four months old, or as soon as possible for older dogs and cats who have not yet been altered.
Q: My cat or dog is indoor only. Do they need to be fixed?
A: Even indoor only pets should be altered as soon as possible, as spaying and neutering reduces the risk of certain cancers and can prevent behavioral issues like fighting with other animals, escaping, urine spraying in the house, and rowdy behavior.
Q: What information do you need when I schedule an appointment?
A: When you schedule your appointment please include your county, the species and sex of your pet, and any other information about your pet that you would like us to know. We will return your email or call to discuss available appointments in your county. To make an appointment, email mobileclinic@bwar.org or call (828) 490-1578.
Q: How do the appointments work?
A: You will be instructed about drop off and pick up times when you make your appointment. Locations and times vary depending on the county. Typical drop off times are around 8am. Please plan to pick up your pet in the afternoon on the day of surgery.
Q: What can I expect the day of surgery?
A: When you arrive, please leave your pet in the car while you fill out intake paperwork. Please be prepared to pay with cash or credit card at the time of drop off. When you pick your pet up in the afternoon, we will explain post-op care instructions, as well as provide a written copy. All pets will be given pain medication at the time of surgery. We do not provide e-collars, so please pick one up ahead of time if you suspect your pet may need one.
