Who We Are

 

The Appalachian Highlands Humane Society is a private non-profit 501(c)3 charitable organization dedicated to the welfare of all animals. We do not receive public or government funding, no monies from national humane organizations (such as the Humane Society of the United States) or county, state or federal government funds. Our work depends solely on grants, fundraisers, adoptions, private funding, memberships and donations.
