These are all the missing dogs from yesterday’s wreck on I-40. There is also 1 cat missing but I do not have a photo. She is a 1 year old gray tabby with white. Please contact us 828.652.6643 with any sightings. Our email is animalshelter@mcdowellgov.com
Epic Animal Recovery has recommended minimal foot traffic searching for the animals. The crash site is so close to such a busy highway and too much noise and people may scare the animals and we don’t want them to run out onto the road. If you are looking to help, I recommend contacting the ASPCA.
