Happy Monday!

Hi! My name is Squirrel and I am a 2 year old Lab/Pit mix and I weigh 34lbs. I am fully grown, so I will not get any bigger. I was found as a stray who was running in East Ridge for a couple of days before the shelter finally got me with the help of a nice citizen! I am a little skittish at first, but I love people. I am just now starting to learn how to be the best dog ever! I love to play with toys and I do well playing with other dogs! Even though I love to play, I would much rather be cuddling with someone. I am spayed, up to date on all my shots, microchipped, and heart worm negative!

If you are interested in meeting Squirrel, please contact us at 423-468-1432 or message us here!

Good Morning and Happy Saturday!!!

We just want to remind everyone that we are open today until 5pm. We are here for all of your adoption needs or if you need to get your dog registered with the city. Registration is a city requirement. Just think of it as another layer of protection in case your dog slips through the fence or runs away with the leash. We just need you to bring a State issued ID and current rabies vaccination record from a vet.

Since we are talking about track stars, we want to show you some of our dogs that were found running in the city. They are looking for an amazing home for the holidays. If you would like to know more about one of the dogs featured today, please reach out to us here or call the office 423-468-1432.

We wanted to let everyone know that we will be closed from 1:30pm-2:00pm for the ground breaking of th East Ridge Town Center!

We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause!

Thank you, ERAS Staff

Meet Jordan!

Jordan is a 2 year old Lab mix. He has been patiently waiting for his forever home since May 2024. Jordan loves to meet new people and is a very gentle guy. Jordan loves to go on walks and does really well on a leash, he also does good in big crowds. He loves meeting new people and welcomes them with open paws! Jordan is one of our medium energy level dogs here at the shelter. He does love to run and play, but he also is looking for someone to cuddle with him on the couch! He does seem to get along well with other dogs. Jordan also loves kids and is very gentle with them.

Jordan is neutered, up to date on all his shots, microchipped, and heartworm negative!

If you are interested in meeting Jordan, please call us at 423-468-1432 or message us here!

Happy Wednesday!

We wanted to share with everyone our updated Amazon Wish List! You do not have to purchase anything on this list of you do not want to. With the holiday season approaching, we get lots of calls from citizens wanting to bless our animals during the holiday season. This is a guide to commonly used items currently. You are welcome to purchase anything dog or cat related that is near and dear to you and your family.

We do have several events for the holiday season. We will be having a Thanksgiving dinner event for the dog for morning feeding time. If you would like to be involved with that, we would love to have you help serve or bring a pet safe item. Please reach out for details.

If you currently have any of these items that are no use to you anymore, please consider donating them to you local shelter before tossing them out! Or any other gently used animal items. There are a lot of things we put to use that are regular household items.

Thank you- ERAS Staff

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Today we would like to show off Caesar! Caesar was found running in the city near Little Caesars back in May of this year. He is a 1 year old Mountain Cur mix, weighting around 40lbs. Caesar is one of our known goofballs here at the shelter. He loves to tease our staff at treat time by playing with his treats. He is very social and loves to meet new people, he can be shy in big crowds. He does seem to get along well with other dogs and just wants to play with them. Caesar does seem to do well around kids and acts very gentle with them. Caesar's favorite time of the day is when he gets to go in the play yard so he can run his little heart out and play with toys!

Caesar is neutered, microchipped, up to date on his shots, and heartworm negative.

if you are interested in meeting Caesar please reach out to us at 423-468-1432 or message us here!

Kierra and Ashleigh playing with the ball this morning. We think Kierra wants to be a professional soccer player when she grows up. If you want to come play soccer with her come see us in Tuesday.

These are the variety pack of littles and the “Daddy” cat Bennett. We found that Bennett was/ maybe still is antisocial. That was until we added his littles to the mix. Caviar, Bellini, Spooky and Pineapple make up the pack of littles. They all get along well together or apart. Come out today and meet them.
