We are one of the few Counties in Tennessee that has an animal shelter! There is a huge problem of unwanted pets and most are brought to the shelter by Animal Control.
There are few paid staff members, most part time, working without benefits.
Several volunteers help the staff keep things running. Donations of goods and services are always welcome. Money donations would go to the County general fund.
