Frequently Asked Questions
What should I do if I find a stray animal?
If the animal is friendly and responds to you, look for ID tags or a microchip tag on the animal’s collar and contact their parents and make arrangements to safely return the animal to it’s home!
If you can’t approach or safely contain the animal, please call Animal Services and give them detailed information about the animal in need so they can assist:
City of Asheville Animal Control Services: 828-252-1110

All stray animals need to go through the Buncombe County shelter for a stray hold. You may bring a found pet to the Buncombe County Animal Shelter (BCAS) during their business hours, Monday – Saturday, 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. BCAS is located at 16 Forever Friend Lane.
