The Humane Society of Jackson County-ARF is excited to announce several new changes in 2024.

As of January 2, 2024, Rebecca Stevens has been named the inaugural executive director of ARF. Stevens brings a wealth of experience to ARF, including over 25 years of working with dogs. Her background in law enforcement and emergency services has allowed her to be able to train with some of the most professional animals in the country. Stevens also has experience working with various non-profits, including numerous animal rescues, transporting, and fostering dogs until they are adopted. Her passion for saving animals is evident from the moment you meet her. “I’ve been rescuing animals since I was young. My parents never knew what I was going to bring home next, whether it was a stray dog, or a hermit crab that needed to be rehomed” Stevens said. During the last 2 years, she has become involved with assisting the Western Carolina University Cadaver Dog Training program. This internationally recognized program has elite instructors that have allowed her to expand her experience in search and rescue/recovery. Stevens stated “I am excited to see ARF’s history throughout the years and how much it has already grown. The hard work and countless hours the volunteers have contributed over the years has made ARF what it is today. Due to our exponential growth we need more volunteers, especially fosters.”

Stevens has a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice from UNC-Wilmington and a Master of Arts in Management and Communication from Bellevue University. She resides in Jackson County with her spouse, Reggie, and 2 dogs: a 15 year old beagle mix named Bailey and 4 year old pitbull named Chessie.

Another exciting announcement for ARF is the recent move to the Jackson County Animal Rescue Center located at the Green Energy Park in Dillsboro. The county graciously agreed for the rescue to have an office located to the left front doors of the shelter. ARF is generally open Monday through Friday, 8am-5pm. Stevens will be there getting the office up and running, so stop by for more information on volunteering, fostering, adopting, and/or spay/neuter trips.

'SSDD Next Generation!'
Commissioned Painting by Tamsin Lord

Hot off the easel, my latest commission features the totally gorgeous Willow, and yes her tail is genuinely that magnificent!!! ☺️

Willow's portrait is part of a series, so includes elements and links to the previous paintings. We have also paid tribute and celebrated 2 very special fur babies, Oreo and Tanis who are deeply missed.

Thank you so much as always Linda - it's always a crazy amount of fun when we put our heads together and I've loved, loved, loved every minute 😊

Yesterday was high fashion day at the meowseum. I tried on this raincoat that Papa Harold brought in for me. But then I was over it really fast.

Happy first adoption of the year - TRIPP! This dude is the kitty that recovered from a major wound on his back, thanks to the staff at the Jackson County Animal Shelter. He ended up here to finish recovering and get some physical therapy to help his mobility (jumping) with the tightened skin on his back. What a sweetheart! We look forward to updates of him in his new happy home. May this be the beginning of a great year of special adoptions 💗
