Our Featured Pet...

All of our animals are our featured pets, as they are all very urgent since we have such a high volume and such a small shelter. We have virtually NO exposure, so we really would love for you to come see all of our wonderful animals!! We need donations... We will accept any kind of donation including: Dog bowls, Towels, Equipment, and Monetary donations. Any donated items will be much appriciated.

Who We Are

Portland Animal Control is located in Portland, TN, about 30 miles north of Nashville and about 30 miles south of Bowling Green, KY off of hwy 65.

We are a very small facility that takes in an extremely large number of animals. As a result we are unfortunately a high kill shelter and all of our animals are on very limited time, and are therefore URGENT! We do our best to get these babies adopted out, but due to the lack of spaying and neutering in the area we take in large volumes of both cats and dogs. We are very rescue friendly and love to work with rescues trying to better the lives of these animals. **Please note that we do love to work with rescue, but we require the rescues to fill out a rescue application prior to adopting the animals. You can email us for the application. As for those just wanting to adopt, we are glad to have you come and visit, and we love for you to find a pet to make a part of your family! The more animals we can get into good, loving homes the better!! Please come and visit us - we get a LOT of good animals in here that deserve a better life than what they've lived. Come and see them for yourself! Our doors are open!

Adopting a friend

Adoption is only $25 per animal, and this $25 is refundable upon a mandatory spay/neuter and receipt of shots, and must be done w/in 30 days of adoption. A veterinarian must fill out the bottom section of the application for proof of the spay/neuter and shots, you return the copy to animal control, and the money is then mailed back to you via check.

Come Visit Us!

We would love for you to come and visit, but please call prior to coming simply b/c there is only one officer and she has to do everything. As a result sometimes she's out picking up dogs or answering a call. So in order to make sure someone is there when you stop by, please call ahead and make arrangements to visit. You can leave a message at this number 615-325-5330 and i will call you back as soon as i get back in.. We are located on Morningside Drive in Portland, TN.
