Wine & Whiskers 2021 - CANCELLED
Out of an abundance of caution, due to the resurgence of Covid cases in Mitchell and the surrounding counties, we have made the difficult decision to cancel this year’s event.
For more than 10 years, Wine & Whiskers has raised much needed funds to help abused, neglected and unwanted animals find the forever homes they deserve.
Last year alone, we saw more than 1,000 animals pass through our doors. That’s almost one animal for every 15 people in Mitchell County!
Wine & Whiskers has been one of our biggest yearly fundraising efforts, so please consider helping us by making a donation to help offset that loss.

*Virtual* Spay-ghetti Fundraiser
Out of an abundance of caution, and both Governor Cooper's recommendation to cancel or postpone gatherings of over 100 people, and the CDC's current recommendation against gatherings of 50 or more people, due to the COVID-19 virus, the MCAR Board has made the difficult decision to cancel our Spay-ghetti fundraising dinner. The health and safety of our dedicated volunteers and supporters are at the forefront of this decision.
While we will not be able to have a physical event, we are now hosting a Virtual Spay-ghetti, to be held through Facebook!
