Our Story
The Lewisburg Animal Shelter Volunteers have rebranded ourselves in 2020 to evolve into the position we are now filling in the Marshall County community. We are now the Lewisburg Animal Alliance. We are still a 501c3.
The Mission of the Lewisburg Animal Alliance is to provide resources in the way of volunteers, financial aide, and supplies for stray and abandoned animals in Marshall County. The Lewisburg Animal Alliance will also operate and maintain the local Pet Food and Pet Supply Pantry for the residents of and rescues based in Marshall County and distribute as requested and as the need arises.
In 2012 the Volunteer Program officially started at the Lewisburg Animal Shelter under the city's direction. From 2012-2019 it was overseen by the Police Department. A Volunteer Coordinator had constantly been at it's helm. In 2016, a Shelter manager was hired in at the shelter and operated the shelter from August of 2016-March of 2019. After her resignation, the volunteers maintained the operations and oversaw the adoptions of dogs until 2 new co-managers were hired in September 1st of this year. The Volunteers are very important to the maintenance and overall health and well being of the shelter and it's animals. The managers are now overseen by a 3 member Board of Directors who set policy and procedures for the shelter in it's current form. While the volunteers assist the managers, AWOs, and the city at the shelter, they are not the shelter, and any questions or inquiries regarding the operations or the dogs of the shelter can be directed to the Shelter at 931-359-5948 or by email to [email protected].

We were able to operate the Lewisburg Animal Shelter Volunteers Cat Program from 2017-September of 2019 at the shelter with the city’s permission. When the Shelter Board took over, that program was discontinued. During it’s run, the vols adopted out over 50+ cats in their care.
