**This animal needs to find a home as soon as possible. We are an open-admission shelter and we see small animals coming into our shelter daily. We need responsible, caring people to step forward and adopt or have 501(c)3 nonprofit animal rescue organizations do shelter transfers. Placements for animals are needed as soon as possible, our open-admission shelter has capacity restraints.**
**We are an open admission shelter, and do not turn animals away even if they are sick. We are in a high-risk area for parvo and any animal that comes into our care could have been exposed to it without our knowledge prior to arrival. Our full-time veterinarian monitors all of our animals closely, and we will not knowingly adopt out or transfer out a sick animal. Animals can have underlying issues that we are not aware of.**
**Information - Upon adoption or transfer, all animals are microchipped, have received age-appropriate vaccines, adult cats are usually tested for FIV and FELV and adult dogs are usually tested for heartworm, etc. Some animals may have already been spayed and neutered. We try to spay and neuter as many as possible, but with the large number of animals being turned in to our shelter right now, we are not able to spay or neuter them all. Under Tennessee TN Code § 44-17-503 all adopters must pay a refundable $25 fee for the unspayed or unneutered animal they adopt. All adopters must sign an agreement that they will get the animal spayed or neutered within 30-days of adoption or within 30-days of reaching sexual maturity. After the animal has been spayed or neutered, the $25 fee is available to be returned to the adopter.**
**Attention 501(c)3 Rescues - If you have space at your rescue and would like to request a shelter transfer to your organization, please fill out the Shelter Transfer Request form at this link: https://bit.ly/3I9PCAX
As our funds allow, we may be able to assist your organization financially with the intake cost of the animal through a grant from our organization.
Shelter transfers are only available to 501(c)3 nonprofit Animal Welfare organizations. If you are not an official 501(c)3, please submit an Adoption Application.**
In rural areas of Tennessee, there are little to no Animal Services in most counties. There are currently no free or low-cost spay and neuter clinics in our area, and the limited programs to assist with spay and neuter run out of money quickly; therefore, there is a huge problem with an overpopulation of unwanted animals. Animals are being dumped on back roads or may even be shot because there is nowhere for them to go. We are an open admission shelter and are trying to help as many of these animals as we can, but we need people to either step forward and adopt them or to support our efforts to Rescue, Shelter, and Protect Animals!
