The White County Animal Shelter

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.

Dear Comrades! As you may know, the shelter doesn’t take in cats but we have a colony of ferals that live on the shelter grounds. They get fed through the kindness and generosity of our community and we are down to two cans of wet food! If anyone could please donate cans of wet cat food to help us meet their needs, we would all be greatly appreciative!!
Sam’s Club sells cases of Friskies for a very reasonable cost and Chewy delivers to the shelter if that is more convenient for you. We are at 5600 Gum Springs Mountain Road in Sparta. Please know that when a Chewy delivery arrives, we don’t know who to thank because that information isn’t included with the deliveries, so please accept our gratitude if we don’t respond to individual donors, but if you let us know to expect a delivery, we will do our best to post it on FB so you know it arrived. Chewy has always been very reliable and dependable.) Thank you in advance for your continued support!!!
