No-Kill Animal Rescue · Asheville, NC
Wildhart rescues dogs, cats, and small animals others gave up on — then matches them with people ready to love them for life. Your new best friend might be waiting right now.
Ways We Help
From the moment an animal arrives to the day they go home, Wildhart is there — and there are just as many ways for you to be part of it.
Browse animals ready for their forever home and start an adoption inquiry — we'll help you find the right match for your life.
Open your home temporarily and give a recovering or shy animal the safe space they need to blossom. We cover the supplies.
Walk dogs, socialize cats, help at events, or lend a professional skill. Every hour means more animals get the care they need.
Fund a vaccine, a surgery, or a week of meals. As a 501(c)(3), every gift goes straight to the animals in our care.
Why Wildhart
We're a volunteer-driven, no-kill rescue. The animals who come to us are often the ones other shelters couldn't help — and we stay with them through medical care, rehabilitation, and the patient work of trust, until the right family walks through the door.

Happy Tails
“Biscuit had been at the shelter for months. The team knew exactly which of our quirks he'd love. A year later he's the heart of our home.”
Adopted Biscuit · Senior dog
“We started as fosters ‘just for a few weeks.' Three cats and two years later, we're proud foster fails who can't imagine life any other way.”
Foster Family · The Reyes Household
“Volunteering on weekends gave me more than I gave it. Watching a scared dog finally wag their tail is something you don't forget.”
