🐾 🚨 **25 Dobermans Rescued in Cruelty Case – Rescue & Donation Help Needed** 🚨 🐾
Sullivan County Animal Control and Bluff City Police Department have worked together this week to intervene in a heartbreaking cruelty case involving **25 Dobermans**. These dogs were found living in extremely poor conditions and are now safe in our care — but their journey to healing is just beginning.
Each of these dogs are suffering from **serious medical neglect** — malnourishment, untreated wounds, and overall poor health. This is an **active investigation**, so details are limited, but we can assure you: these animals have endured far too much, and they need all the support we can give.
We are urgently seeking assistance from **Doberman-specific rescues** who can step in and help with placement and specialized care. If you are part of, or connected to, a reputable breed-specific rescue, **please reach out to us directly.**
💔 **How You Can Help:** Caring for 25 medically needy dogs comes with significant costs. If you’re not a rescue but still want to make a difference, **please consider donating** to help with vet care, food, shelter, and recovery supplies. 👉 You can call, come by, mail a check or hit the donate button below. 380 Massengil Road, Blountville TN 423-279-2741, option 2
These dogs didn’t choose this life — but thanks to teamwork, they have a second chance. Help us give them the future they deserve.
Remember when you purchase a puppy, you need to see their current environment and ask to meet the parents. Many puppies sold at “puppy boutiques”, the flea market etc…. This is what their parents look like. The only reason people keep backyard breeding, is because people keep buying. Be diligent, and protect your puppies’ parents. Thank you to **Bluff City Police Department** for their dedication and partnership in this case. 💙
📢 **Please share** to help us reach more rescues and raise support.
You all work so hard out there in the heat bringing affordable pet care to our area. The vet is amazing and the staff are superb. Everyone is cheerful and sweating and working their tails off!!! THANK YOU The Animal Shelter of Sullivan County
I wish these lasted later in the day, due to people's work schedules
Thank you all so very much sorry our dogs were so vicious LOL they have to protect the car like their life depends on it.
Possums isn’t just a cat — she’s a lifestyle. Currently serving looks and sass in her Thai cone, this 3-year-old fashionista is stealing hearts and demanding snacks. 💅🍗
She’s spayed, fully vaccinated, and has been very vocal about her need for a throne of her own. While she’s currently rocking the cone due to some allergies (and chronic shelter stress), we’re confident once she’s in a calm, loving home, her cone-wearing days may be officially over. 🥹💖
Possums will need: ✔ Occasional steroid shots ✔ A balanced diet ✔ A human who appreciates dramatic flair and fabulous feline energy
She’s been through a lot, but her attitude? Unbreakable. Her side-eye? Oscar-worthy. Her snuggles? Top tier.
Come meet Possums and give her the chill, comfy home she deserves. She’s ready to trade the shelter life for couch life — and maybe toss that cone in the trash on the way out. 🛋🗑
📍 Available now at The Animal Shelter of Sullivan County
Sweet girl deserves the world and a second chance at life where she’s given time and extra love while she’s adapting to her new home. I bet apoquel would help her skin it’s a wonderful allergy medicine and with her petite size she’d only need a half a pill daily. And the pills are cheap at the vet’s office and you can order from chewy but I’ve seen lots of kitties and dogs for that matter have horrible stress related skin issues when they’re in the shelter and once they’re out and GIVEN TIME to relax and feel safe at home 99.9% of the time their skin and coat goes back to normal 🙌 shared hoping she will find her perfect home 🥰🖤🫶🤞🤞🤞
She needs someone to give her a chance. Come meet her 💚
I am so glad you found Misty. I’ve been worried sick about her. She escaped out of my fenced in yard yesterday and I like I said had just been worried sick. I’m so glad that I called you all last night and again this morning and y’all have done a great job in contacting me today to let me know that she’s there. I will be by as soon as I possibly can to pick her up. Thank you for all you. Do God bless you
Isn’t this a Yorkie too? I have a friend (does not live here) who has one this color!
I am trying to get in contact with someone me and my husband are homeless living in a car with four kittens and a female cat that is pregnant and we have nowhere to take them we need to find a shelter that will

I will be at the shelter the second they open today and I hope he still there and spend some time with him and see how he feels with me and see how I do with him I've had a couple of strokes so I I'm looking for a dog that will not overpower me completely but there's something about him that warms my heart and thank you for doing what you do to share the animals so they can find their forever homes
Do you know about how big he'll get and how strong is he he is absolutely beautiful and I haven't seen him when I visited the shelter
