Asheville is among the most pet-friendly regions in North Carolina. People in our area love their pets, and many businesses and public areas accommodate taking our furry companions with us. However, to get anywhere in our area, you have to drive.
There’s no doubt we live in one of the most beautiful places in the country.

Of course, all the things that make our area special have put it on notice. Thousands upon thousands of new residents have moved to western North Carolina in the past few years.
