Volunteers
We have only one couple that volunteers to brings our dogs to Petsmart on Saturdays in hopes to give these deserving souls another shot at love with a permanent family. Thank goodness the dogs have these volunteers, they work tirelessly to get our animals into new homes using their days off. Since the shelter is closed on Saturdays, Petsmart off-site adoptions have become more important in getting our doggies exposure and new homes. Thank you, our volunteers! You know who you are and we appreciate all your hard work and love you give the pups!
We desperately need volunteers that have a truck with a hitch that can help transport the animals to Petsmart on Saturdays, if anyone can help please contact the shelter at 423-664-0271 or czagona@eastridgetn.org.

**************************************************************CITY RABIES ORDINANCE & CITY REGISTRATION ORDINANCE
East Ridge Residents all dogs & cats must have a current rabies vaccination (City Ordinance #10-206 Inoculation Required) and City Registration tag (City Ordinance #10-201) Registration of Animals
All pets (dogs & cats) over the age of 3 months must be vaccinated against rabies in the state of Tennessee. All pets (dogs & cats) within the City limits of East Ridge (37412) must be registered with East Ridge Animal Services.
Collegedale, Lakesite, Soddy Daisy, Signal Mountain, Red Bank & all Unincorporated Hamilton County residents must registered your animals with the Humane Educational Society 423-624-5302.
Residents from the Chattanooga City limits must register their animals with McKamey Animal Care & Adoption Center 423-305-6500.
East Ridge City registration tags are $5.00 if the pet is spayed/neutered and $25.00 if the pet is not spayed/neutered.
All residents that have not utilized one of the several rabies clinics during the month of April and for some reason we have to visit your home and find an unvaccinated & unregistered pet you will only have 72 hrs to have such pet vaccinated & registered, failure to comply will lead to a citation to court for failure to follow the State of Tennessee Vaccination law & City of East Ridge Registration ordinance.
Be a good pet owner, have your pets vaccinated against rabies and registered. Registering your pet is the best form of ID that you can put on your pet next to micro chipping. With your registration we can contact you any time of the day or night in the event your pet is ever injured or found stray by a citizen, while it is harder to contact the owner of a pet using the vets rabies tag information (during regular business hours).
Proper ID on your pet will insure that your lost or injured pet will always be reunited with you!
****Ask about our Guardian Angel Program****
The Guardian Angel Program enables you to help animals at our shelter by donating funds towards their adoption fee; you choose the animal you wish to help.
Many worthy families that would like to adopt but just can't afford the adoption fee can adopt an animal that has a Guardian Angel. So far we have had 80 animals adopted through this program.
Contact the shelter at 423-664-0271 or czagona@eastridgetn.org to find out more details.
Some people just want to help the animals in shelters and just don't know how to go about it, this is one way you can DIRECTLY affect the happy outcome of one of the pets at our shelter.

2010 News
We will continue to do our best to find placement for all animals that come into our care, we know that people will continue to dump animals within the City limits of East Ridge, we know that people will continue to lie to us when surrendering an animal because it's their animal or a friend from Chattanooga. So 2010 should be an interesting year for ERAS. We are also working with some neighborhood watch programs within the City, these citizens are our eyes at night when people try to abandon an animal in their neighborhood. BEWARE we have many eyes, and we will get your car tag and then you will get a visit from an officer.
We are a very small shelter with extremely limited space. We are unable to accept animals from other areas; proof of residence will have to be given when surrendering any animal.
Please do not have a friend from East Ridge surrender your animal as theirs. We do check up on all suspicious surrenders. And do not surrender your animal to us as a stray, that is just wrong and we can tell if you are the owner.
We have the reputation of finding our animals new homes or getting them into rescue, but it's not our responsibility to find "YOUR" animal a new home, we are the last RESORT.
We have only ONE main cat rescuer and only ONE dog volunteer that brings the dogs to Petsmart to increase their chances for finding new homes. We would like to thank our other couple that helps with the dogs every other week with getting the dogs to Petsmart.
So, you can do the math on your own, our resources are extremely limited and so is our kennel and cat cage space.
PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO FIND YOUR ANIMAL A NEW HOME, REMEMBER YOUR PET IS A FAMILY MEMBER, NOT A THROW A-WAY OR RECYCLABLE ITEM THAT CAN JUST BE THROWN AWAY WHEN YOU ARE TIRED OF IT. YOUR ANIMAL IS A LIVING BREATHING, CARING CREATURE THAT DESERVES BETTER! THINK ABOUT IT BEFORE YOU SURRENDER YOUR FAMILY MEMBER, THE CHOICE YOU MAKE WILL ALWAYS STAY WITH YOU!
Please do not have a friend that lives in East Ridge surrender your animal, this is not fair to the animals from East Ridge.
If you live outside of East Ridge and need to surrender an animal we can provide rescue contacts but we can not take your animal.
Please remember WE are NOT a RESCUE group but an ANIMAL CONTROL FACILITY. We can not guarantee that your surrendered animal will find a new loving home.
"NOTICE"
SINCE PEOPLE HAVE FOUND IT NECESSARY TO ABANDON THEIR ANIMALS AT THE SHELTER AFTER WE CLOSE, WE HAVE BEEN FORCED TO INSTALLED SURVEILLANCE CAMERAS THANKS TO THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. CAR TAGS CAN BE SEEN FROM THESE CAMERAS, IF CAUGHT YOU WILL BE PROSECUTED FOR STATE ANIMAL ABANDONMENT! We would like to thank our citizens for providing car tags of people trying to abandon their animals at night in East Ridge.
REMEMBER, ALL WE NEED IS YOUR CAR TAG AND A WITNESS IN ORDER TO PROSECUTE FOR STATE ANIMAL ABANDONMENT!
