The Adoption Program at our Knoxville location saves thousands of lives every year. Our team works with over 55 shelters and rescues in this region to help alleviate overcrowding and provide a second chance to abandoned animals that find themselves in need. Daily, we get calls for help to transfer dogs and cats to our shelter. We take the injured, the sick, heartworm positive dogs and sometimes the ones that need just a little extra love to trust humans again. The lives saved because of your generous donations allow us to say “yes” to calls for help.
Our medical fund is the most critical need to support our Adoption Program. That fund allows us to take in dogs like Bella who had a broken leg that was left to heal without medical attention but was rushed to surgery and is now on the mend. It also covers cats like Festus who came to us through our partnership with UT Hospice when his owner passed away. He needed a dental and your donation allowed us to get him the medical attention he needed before finding his new family!
Our Heartworm Fund is another critical need that we have in support of our Adoptions Program. Because of the cost of treatment for heartworm positive dogs the rural shelters are unable to treat this condition, so they call us for help. Just a monthly dose of prevention is all these dogs were lacking but now heartworm positive they need lifesaving treatment. Your donation of $100 would allow us to transfer in one heartworm positive dog and start treatment. Giving to this fund has an immediate impact on a need that truly lifesaving. Both for the dog and the shelter that cares enough to reach out to us with a request to transfer them to save their life. Thank you for considering a donation to the Heartworm Fund.
