The White County Animal Shelter We are a very small dog only shelter in rural middle TN. Our primary focus is the intake of stray dogs and we try to reunite them with their family.

We do all we can to reunite dogs with their families or find adoptive homes for them or place them with approved rescues. On the occasions that their family can’t be found, or if the family is not interested in reclaiming their pet, we do all we can to find adoptive homes for them or place them with approved rescues. We will take owner surrenders when space allows, you will be required to pay a $5

0.00 fee to surrender your pet. As with all rural shelters in economically depressed areas, our adoption numbers aren’t very high so we strive to work with as many rescues as we can and we are always looking for more wonderful volunteers to help out the fur kids! Adopting a friend

Our adoption fees are $250.00. This fee includes the following

Full Physical Exam
Sterilization Surgery
Pain Injection w/Laser Treatment
Fecal Test
Heartworm Test
Rabies Vaccination (If old enough at time of surgery)
Therapeutic Ear Cleaning
Nail Trim

Your new pet received the following the day he/she came into the shelter

DAPPv
Bordetella
Dewormer
Capstar
Flea and Tick Prevention
Heartworm Prevention (5 Months and Younger)

ABSOLUTELY NO ADOPTED ANIMAL LEAVES THE SHELTER UNALTERED

The pull fee for approved rescues will be reflective of the vetting a dog has received while at the shelter. Rescues do not need to be 501c3 to work with us!! We are not affiliated with any rescue or shelter, however we do work with Rescues in order to save as many dogs from euthanasia as possible. We are not a No-Kill Shelter, although we try to place as many dogs possible with adopters and rescues.

Dearest WCAS supporters,
We are running critically low on canned cat food for our feral cat residents. We are also in short supply of dry food. If anyone could please help, we would greatly appreciate it!Sam’s Club sells 32 lb bags of Meow Mix and 60 can cases of Friskies Gravy Pleasers for a very reasonable price.

If you are a subscriber to Chewy, they will deliver directly to the shelter at 5600 Gum Springs Mountain Road in Sparta.

Thank you in advance for any and all donations to benefit our four legged furry friends! It still takes a village…..😊

We could really use a few extra fosters willing to open their hearts and homes for a few days to take in some of our more sensitive dogs with this heat wave! If you’re able to help please call the shelter!

Keep watchful eye over your pups in this extreme heat!!!

From Schwarzman Animal Medical Center

☀️ Summer begins today — and a major heat wave is right behind it. ⚠️

From overheating and sunburn to dehydration and heatstroke, extreme temperatures can be life-threatening for both dogs and cats.

This quick guide shares simple steps to help keep your dog safe in the summer heat. While it's especially important for brachycephalic breeds, dogs with dark coats, and those with underlying health conditions, high temperatures pose a risk to all dogs.

The safest place for your pet during extreme heat is indoors, ideally with air conditioning.
