Brother Wolf Animal Rescue Donations Urgently Needed

Asheville -- September 30, 2024: Yesterday, Brother Wolf Animal Rescue in Asheville posted the following on social media:

Our shelter has been flooded due to the devastating impact of Hurricane Helene. Communications are currently limited, and response times will be slower than usual as we focus on recovery and formulating a plan to move forward.:

Things are bad. We can’t sugarcoat it.  

We have been completely devastated as an organization. The flooding reached a critical level that no one ever imagined. We thought we would have a few feet of standing water. Instead… raging flood water reached the top of our buildings, swallowing our vehicles and destroying any resources left.
We are thinking of our neighbors and the lives lost in this terrifying disaster.

We can’t even begin to process the loss of our shelter that has saved hundreds of thousands of animals since 2007. It’s now a disaster zone.
At the same time, we feel lucky that only our physical assets were destroyed. All of our animals were evacuated thanks to our beautiful community. The heart of Brother Wolf is not a shelter; it’s all of us coming together to impact both people's and animals' lives in a positive way.

We have 137 animals in foster care, most of whom were supposed to return to the shelter tomorrow, and many are running out of supplies.
Our leadership team is working diligently to secure a facility for emergency operations; it has been challenging with almost no communication avenues, but we hope to have an official update in the next two days.
More updates will come as communications improve. We’re trying to contact our staff, volunteers, and fosters, but there is limited communication available in our area.

Please be patient with us as we find WiFi each day. Our response time will be much slower than average.
Brother Wolf will rebuild. We are the lifeline for thousands of animals each year. If Hurricane Helene did not affect you and you can make a monetary donation, it is critical now more than ever. Please keep us in your thoughts; you are in ours.

Donations are urgently needed. Donate at bwar.org
