Claiborne County Animal Shelter Property is Rockin'!

Last week, volunteers convened at the shelter property to install fence posts around the perimeter, rake gravel, dig trenches, drill fence holes, and generally get things ready for the fence to be installed and the cement floor to be poured. Once that's done, we go vertical! Yes, the wall will soon be going up.


Huge thanks to Hank Hardwick, of The Hardwick Corporation for donating his time and skills on the fence installation. Hank's dedication to this community is so very much appreciated!





You'll notice we have a big turnout from the Sheriff's Inmate/Trustee program. These men are working at the shelter property voluntarily. They work hard, do a fabulous job, and are a pleasure to have as part of our team. Thanks guys!



Earlier in the week, the PAL Mobile mobile spay/neuter clinic was held for the first time at the shelter property. Shelter volunteers organize this monthly event and are on the spot to greet people and their dogs and cats!

If you're interested in a low-cost spay or neuter for your pet, call the shelter office at 423-626-2686. Ruby, our office manager will be happy to give you the details and sign you up!

Would you like to head out to the shelter property and see it for yourself? It's easy to get there. We're right off Old Knox Hwy, behind Volunteer Knitting, at the end or Ritchie and Lewis Drive.

This shelter is on its way to becoming a reality. Together, we WILL get it done!
