My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Slinky is a male Cur mix found as a stray on Fishing Ford Road. He is brindle and white in color and is on the thin side. We have him on a regular feeding schedule to help him gain weight safely and he is already up 10 pounds. He is now fully vetted, microchipped, but is heartworm positive. The volunteer fund will completely cover the cost of his heartworm treatment over the next 6 months and any meds will go with him. He is a bit on the timid side, but appears friendly to everyone. He is highly food and treat motivated. According to the vet he is 6 years old.

The current adoption fee is $75 which includes the dogs spay or neuter and Rabies vaccination at a local vet, and covers the distemper/parvo vaccine and bordetella vaccine and dewormings it receives here at our shelter. No dog will leave the shelter to an adopter without being vetted first.

By TN state law stray dogs are held for 3 days so they can be found by their owners before being put up for adoption or rescue. A dog found as a stray wearing a collar is held for 5 days before it is put up for adoption or rescue. Our shelter is a first come first adopt/rescue facility.There are no holds placed on dogs for potential adopters/rescue, however if a party is interested in a particular dog before it becomes available they may send an inquiry to shelter.manager@lewisburgtn.gov and those inquiries will be kept track of in order of received once dog becomes available. Adopters/rescues will be notified what order they are in in regards to each dog. They are available at 8am on the day they are available. Non vetted dogs will have an appointment scheduled and will be available for pickup for adoption the day after their surgery. Approved rescues may pull a dog and have vetted at their own expense once available to the public.
