Shelter medicine matters 💕
This dog needed medical attention for an attack she suffered (first pictures).
She was brought to us this weekend, and today is looking fantastic (last photos). This wouldn’t be possible without our medical team, our director making sure we have what we need to accomplish our job, our kennel team ensuring a clean place for healing, and support from our community and board members.
It’s so rewarding to see your efforts pay off and watch discarded animals heal.

We are truly sorry but we had to cancel clinic for today. We have 95% chance of rain over the next few hours. If your animal needs vaccines you can call the shelter to make an appt. The only vaccine we can’t give is rabies. However, we have another clinic scheduled for Aug 15th. We are sorry for any inconvenience this has caused.

Due to the weather forecast, we are canceling our vaccine clinic today, July 18th. We are terribly sorry! If you do not need a rabies vaccine, you can schedule an appointment at the shelter for flea meds, dewormer etc. Please call 423-279-2741 option 2 or 3. We will still have our monthly clinic in August!

Thanks to the 3 new volunteers who attended class today. Can’t wait to see you back at the shelter!🙌
Join us for vaccine clinic this Thursday, July 18th from 3-5pm.
Please remember only 3 animals per vehicle. Cats MUST each have their own carrier. Dogs MUST be on a leash.
If you only need flea meds, booster shots or dewormer, please call the shelter for an appointment instead of having to wait hours in line.
The line will cut off at 4:30pm at the road. If you would like vaccines, please be here before that and in line. Thank you 😊

Is he still at the shelter? My family that lives off muddy creek said they saw the same dog this morning, howling… they tried to get it. They are going back out to look again, maybe a littermate was left behind too 😞
