East Ridge Animal Services

Animal shelter in East Ridge, TN

East Ridge Animal Services has been dubbed by supporters as "The Little Shelter Who Could" and did! In February of 2013, we became Tennessee's first, and possibly only, "No Kill" municipal animal shelter. We are very proud of our accomplishments!
