Next offsite adoption will be at Petco, Jackson on February 4, 2012. During inclement (too hot, too stormy, too cold) weather, we're inside. Come in and see us. Out of-town Adoption Days usually 1st & 3rd Saturday of each month and on other dates for special events at Petsense, 1663 Virginia Lane, Corinth, MS 38834 (662) 287-2550, Petco in Jackson, TN, or Tractor Supply in Savannah, TN. If you see one of our adoptables that you would like to have brought to an adoption event, just call Mary at 731-925-0556 or 731-632-1603 at least one day in advance. We will also try to hold adoption days at WalMart on Hwy 64E in Savannah from time to time. Onsite adoption without appointment weekdays from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. except Sunday and offsite adoption days. Please call first to be sure someone will be available to show you all the wonderful dogs.
We need volunteers to help plan and work towards a major annual fundraiser. Please let us know if you are willing to help.
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.
Adoption Fees for Dogs: $75 to $200. Spayed or neutered, up-to-date vaccinations. 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 all of the dogs in our care by providing veterinary care, food, supplies, and medicines to keep them healthy.
Some of our adoptable pets are also shown at 1-800-Save-A-Pet. Here's the link: http://www.1-800-save-a-pet.com/shelter71835-pets.html
