About Mixed Breed Dogs

Mixed breed dogs are wonderfully unique companions, each one a one-of-a-kind blend of traits, personalities, and appearances. The genetic diversity of mixed breeds often leads to fewer inherited health problems and greater overall vigor. They come in every size, shape, and temperament imaginable.

Adopting a mixed breed means giving a home to a dog who truly needs one - they make up the majority of shelter dogs waiting for families. You'll gain a resilient, adaptable companion with a unique personality all their own. Mixed breeds prove every day that love isn't defined by a pedigree.

Adopting in Asheville, NC

Asheville's mountain setting and creative, dog-loving culture make it one of the best small cities in America for pet adoption. Nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains, local shelters have many wonderful animals ready for families who appreciate outdoor adventure and community spirit.

With the Blue Ridge Parkway, Bent Creek trails, and a downtown packed with pet-friendly breweries and restaurants, Asheville offers adopted pets an extraordinary mountain lifestyle. The city's reputation as one of the most dog-friendly places in the Southeast is well earned.
