Stop in and pick a sweetheart off of our tree and help out our enrichment program, wish list needs and spoil a shelter pet this Valentine’s Day! Our enrichment program is so important to help make the stay for every dog and cat as positive of an experience as possible. It is so important to give them activities to do and keep them busy and their different senses working so they don’t go stir crazy and start to shut down. Each heart has items listed on the back to help with that for that animal in addition to items needed off of our shelter wish list. Stop in to pick up a heart Monday-Saturday 10:30-12 or 1-4. Even though we are closed on quarantine you can knock and we would be happy to help you!! Thank you for your support! ❤️

Penny Roberts Rose and Cindy Trobaugh who each donated the funds to build an entire outside kennel both visited our shelter to see the progress today and were the absolute sweetest!! We can’t thank them enough for their support!!

Heartworms are such a real problem in our area. If you don’t believe us, just look at these faces. All of these dogs are the dogs we are currently treating. All but one are still waiting for homes 💔 This treatment is soooo expensive and is really devastating on our shelter, especially on days like yesterday when we have TWO new dogs test positive 😔 Treatment for each large dog is normally at least $500 if not more. Please speak to your veterinarian about prevention if your dog is not on any, especially if they spend a lot of time outside. All it takes is one mosquito. If you are able to donate towards the care of some of these dogs we truly do need help. We have already fundraised for some of them but they just keep coming and more seem to test positive constantly it feels like. We also have soooo many dogs we are waiting for further testing to ensure they are now negative after they have finished their injections like sweet Ivory for example.

This is NOT a project for people without experience!! We appreciate our volunteers but for the safety of everyone and for the importance of not wasting our materials this is very important. Timing on Saturday will be dependent on weather! Coordinating this through Facebook messenger is the best way to communicate. We are in the final stretch of getting these done!! Thank you so much to the group of Mahle employees who have already signed up to come back again on Saturday to work on their day off!! You are so very appreciated!! We already have a dog scheduled to go in one of them on Saturday which shows how important this is!!

Our shelter might be on quarantine but we do still have several of our dogs being boarded at Brisby’s Bed & Biscuits available to be seen! All of these dogs are fully vetted and go home ready! They are also good with other dogs! Stop in during their open hours or give us a call at 423-581-1494 for more information about how to meet them 🫶

We are doing everything we can to keep our dogs and puppies entertained during our quarantined and our puppies LOVE these pig toys!! We could use more of them! If you can help please have them mailed to us at 5251 E Morris Blvd. Morristown, TN 37813! See comments for link!

Just a reminder that during our parvo quarantine our shelter is closed for all animal intakes. As a volunteer and board member I would like to take a moment to thank our very dedicated staff. I was at the shelter last night and witnessed the very hard work of staff well past their normal work day and staff coming in on their off day. I saw tears shed, extremely hard work done and such care and compassion for animals shown. Thank you so much to Carlee, Kristi and Reba for working so late last night. This work is absolutely not for the faint of heart and I for one am extremely grateful for every one of our dedicated employees. Please remember this over the next two weeks if you find an animal and feel frustrated by this closure. The shelter staff do not like having to turn strays away either, but it is for the safely of animals to complete the full quarantine and monitor animals in our shelter for any signs of illness. Please remain patient and understanding. Thank you for your support.

Our shelter will unfortunately be closed for at least the next two weeks on parvo quarantine after we had an adult dog test positive for parvovirus today. This is why, more than ever it is SO important for us to continue to work towards raising the funds needed to expand our shelter and build our isolation area. It breaks our hearts that the entire shelter has to shut down because of having no isolation area and all dogs at risk. How can you help?
1. We go through very large quantities of Rescue disinfectant during exposures like these. We are in need of as much as possible. See link in comments and mail to us at 5251 E. Morris Blvd, Morristown, TN 37813

2. We were forced to throw out a good amount of dirty laundry this evening. Our laundry gets backed up in our shelter environment and we could not let laundry contaminated with parvo sit there. We are in need of donations of blankets, towels and toys to help replace what we lost.

3. Donate towards our building fund. Every dollar donated gets us one step closer to being able to build that needed isolation area.

4. Keep all of our animals and staff in your thoughts. It is very stressful watching and hoping no one else will begin to show signs.

5. Vaccinate your animals. Parvo is preventable and also one of the worst things to watch an animal suffer from.

Thank you all for your kindness and support. It is very much appreciated.
