“We are pleased to be able to support Sarge’s Animal Rescue Foundation with this donation,” said Claire Holley, executive director of the NCVMA. “Unfortunately, the number of animals that arrive at the Haywood County Animal Control facility is so great that they can only remain there for a limited time. Sarge’s does a fantastic job of reducing the number of animals that must be euthanized, and we are honored to support them in their fight for the protection and health of Haywood County animals.”
