Angie Wilt, Director of Operations for Animal Compassion Network, and Buddy check out the Appalachian Animal Rescue Coalition (AARC) truck that will take Buddy and 24 others to new homes in Massachusetts.
WNC dogs head to the northeast for adoption Buddy and 24 canine pals are going to have a great holiday this year. They will be with new families in a new location - Massachusetts. Appalachian Animal Rescue Coalition recently began regular transports to rescue organizations in the Northeast, where spay/neuter laws have been so successful that there are more people eager to adopts pets than animals available for adoption. Appalachian Animal Rescue Coalition (AARC) is a new life-saving transport alliance organized by Animal Compassion Network (ACN), a rescue organization that serves all of Western North Carolina, P.A.W.S. Animal Shelter in Bryson City, Jackson County Humane Society (ARF) and Charlie’s Angels Animal Rescue in Transylvania. The four WNC rescue organizations are working to help more dogs, including those from outlying counties where help is not as readily available. In a pilot run on November 2, all but two of 23 dogs from WNC were adopted within four days of arrival, and the final pair was adopted soon thereafter. “But despite our placement of animals into foster homes where they stay until they are adopted, our spay/neuter assistance program, pet food assistance program and lowcost shot clinics, we still have more animals than adopters. We are so happy that people
living in areas with more success at controlling their animal population want these deserving pets. Right now we are sending only dogs, but we hope to locate a receiving agency willing to accept some of our shelter cats soon,” said Eileen Bouressa, executive director of ACN. The dogs who are transported will come from Buncombe, Haywood, Swain, Jackson, Transylvania, Madison and Rutherford counties. Each will have been tested to ensure they are behaviorally and medically sound. The destination organizations receiving pets from AARC have been thoroughly vetted by the AARC partners and have the same high standards as Animal Compassion Network and other AARC partners. Buddy’s story is typical of the animals who will be getting a new lease on life as a result of the AARC program. He was in the Jackson County Animal Shelter, just hours from being euthanized, when Jackson County’s ARF was able to remove him from the shelter and arrange for him to be on the December 15 AARC transport. He has spent a couple of weeks in a temporary foster home and now is ready to roll. How WNC Residents and Businesses Can Help AARC has an experienced team of drivers willing and able to safely take each van-load
of pets to a brighter future, but volunteers are needed to fill several roles and donations are needed to cover transport expenses. Fosters - The program needs individuals and families throughout Western North Carolina, including in outlying areas, who are willing to foster north-bound animals for just two weeks before their foster animal hits the road. All expenses for the animal are paid, and this offers a great opportunity for people who have wanted to help animals, but have either been concerned about their ability to fulfill a potentially long-term responsibility or were worried they would be tempted to adopt the animal. The animals just need to “crash” for a few days. Other Volunteers - Also needed are once-amonth volunteers who will help load animals into crates and lift crates into place. Donations – Donations to defray transport costs are also sought. Checks may be sent to Animal Compassion Network (write Transport Program on the memo line) at 803 Fairview St., Asheville, NC 28803. Anyone interested in being a foster or a transport-loading volunteer – or who has questions first – should contact Angie Wilt at aarccoordinator@gmail.com or at Animal Compassion Network’s Pet Harmony pet store for rescued pets at 828-274-3647.

Efficient heating options for fall and winter (StatePoint) When temperatures drop, you may be tempted to blast the thermostat. But a high home heating bill may just be your motivation to explore more creative ways of being comfortable this season. Keeping your family warm is not a luxury, it’s a necessity, so don’t let the cost go through the roof.
Maintaining toasty conditions in every square inch of your home is shamefully wasteful, particularly in a larger home that may not have an energy-efficient furnace. You can get warmer faster and more cheaply by practicing zone heating, which focuses on heating only certain areas of your home.
Here are some tips to beat the rising cost of heating your home:
The first step is to close doors to rooms you aren’t using. Then let a wood-burning stove like the Grandview 230 from Lennox Hearth Products heat just the room where you spend most of your time.
Wear a Sweater! It’s getting cold in here. So put on all your clothes… Dressing for the season is just common sense. If you look more like a beach bum than a ski bum, of course you’re going to be chilly in fall and winter. Wearing socks, a sweater and long pants will go a long way toward keeping you warm, even in a drafty house. Afghans and throws are not only decorative additions to your living room, they’re functional ones as well. Use Zone Heating
“Zone heating is a great choice for families who want to save on cost,” says Michael Lewis, product manager at Lennox Hearth Products. “For areas where cord wood is available, a wood-burning stove can cut heating costs by more than half when compared to fuels like gas and oil.” Wood is also a good fuel source for the conservation-minded as it’s a renewable source of energy. And the process of growing trees reduces carbon dioxide in
the atmosphere. More zone heating ideas can be found at www.lennox.com. Practice Simple Home Maintenance Don’t burn a hole in your wallet this year with inefficient heating. By performing a few simple home maintenance tasks, you can maximize use of your heating system. Keep air registers, grills and radiators free of obstruction like clothing, drapery and dirt. Let dust build-up be your visual cue to clean or replace the air filter on your furnace. Leaky ductwork can be sealed up with silver tape from any home-improvement store, And having your furnace serviced each season should be a line-item in every homeowner’s budget. By thoughtfully considering the way you heat your home, you can stay warm this season and save money too!
