Events & programs

Join Asheville Humane Society at the 3rd annual WestVILLEminster Dog Show on June 21st! Register your pup, cheer on competitors, and support homeless pets—all while enjoying live music & prizes. Proceeds benefit AHS!

Have you ever wondered why your dog pulls on leash, jumps up to greet people and won’t do as you ask? Have you ever said “she has a mind of her own?” The Canine Manners Course may just be the class you need!

Meet AHS staff and adoptable pets at this downtown pop-up! Friday, July 11, 11 a.m.–1 p.m. at the grassy corner of South Market and Eagle Street. Fun, furry, and free!

Does your dog have selective hearing? Do you have to repeat yourself when your dog is near distractions? We will expand upon basic training to help you get reliability anywhere, anytime, and at any distance. Your dog will learn how to stop forward movement when running towards a distraction, sitting at a distance, and more!
