WHO WE ARE
Mary Davis, founder of Tennessee River Rescues, works day and night to save and care for dogs in Hardin County, TN. We hope to adopt out or find rescue groups to place these dogs in good homes. Many of the dogs were pulled from the local municipal high kill animal shelter, many of them come in when the shelter is overcrowded and refuses them, others are owner turn-ins and/or strays. As space and donations allow, more dogs are brought in to our foster care.
The municipal animal shelter does not accept "county" dogs so many of these end up at Tennessee River Rescues as space allows. The less fortunate are dumped in rural areas or on shopping center parking lots and left to fend for themselves.
All donations are tax deductible to the extent allowed by the IRS. We are an IRS - 501 (c) (3) qualified non-profit organization.
ADOPTING A FRIEND
Average Adoption Fees for Mixed Breed Animals:
$75 Dogs & Pups - spayed or neutered, up-to-date vaccinations.
$40 Dogs & Puppies - yet to be spayed or neutered.
$60 Cats & Kittens - spayed or neutered, up-to-date vaccinations.
$30 Cats & Kittens - yet to be spayed or neutered.
Adopter must sign an adoption contract guaranteeing spay/neuter if not previously completed.
We are always OVERFLOWING and will reduce adoption fees on longer term pets if you meet all other requirements. Some medium and large dogs are available for lower adoption fee to qualified adopters.
Fees for special "in-demand" breeds may be higher. We are a non-profit and funding is always needed to help the mixed breeds, injured dogs, and provide supplies to keep all of the dogs in the best shape.
