Misfit Mountain
A Mountain of Love
Misfit Mountain is a dedicated 501(c)3 nonprofit organization in the Greater Asheville area, committed to providing the highest quality of life and care for homeless animals. We accept misfits of all shapes and sizes, ensuring a place where bellies are full, love is bountiful, and nose boops are always the usual.
Our Story and Vision
Founded to serve Western North Carolina, our mission is to offer animals a true sense of home. We strive to create a no-kill community where no animal is euthanized due to financial or spacing limitations, and we prioritize the well-being and safety of every creature in our care.
How We Help
We operate as a foster-based rescue, supported by a compassionate network of volunteers and a sanctuary facility in Clyde, NC. By utilizing foster homes for proper socialization and loving care, we are able to rescue more dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, and small animals while they await their forever families.
The Adoption Journey
We believe in finding the perfect match between our animals and their new families. Our thoughtful adoption process focuses on transparency and connection, ensuring that medical histories and temperaments are shared openly so you feel confident welcoming your new best friend into your life.

10/14 - Misfit Mountain benefit concert -
Hosting a concert to raise funds to pay its annual liability insurance, Misfit Mountain will welcome The Riverside from 6:30-9 p.m. Monday, Oct. 19, at the animal shelter in Clyde. Known for their signature house concerts and unplugged encores, The Riverside travels across the very landscapes that inspire their music to play intimate folk shows. The trio believes that music is meant to be experienced live and in community, which is why they return year after year to living rooms, backyards, and gathering places throughout North America.
