Education

School age children are given the opportunity for hands on experience in animal care and feeding at the Animal Haven of Asheville farm. School groups are taught the basics of animal care and compassion. This includes building habitats, feeding and caring for the animals. The importance of animals in everyday life is highlighted. Perhaps, more importantly, there is an emphasis on kindness in relating to all animals which will make for a more compassionate adult.

Pet Food Assistance

One of the critical problems facing our community is the number of individuals who need assistance in feeding their pets. Many Meals on Wheels recipients were found to be sharing their own meals with their pets. In the past year Animal Haven of Asheville has worked closely with Meals on Wheels to identify recipients who need pet food to sustain their pets.

How the Program Works

Animal Haven of Asheville acquires pet food from the Manna Food Bank Program and other sources. The pet food is then donated to Meals on Wheels volunteers who have identified clients in need of food to feed their pets.
