Who We Are

The primary function of the Cumberland County Animal Shelter is public safety and animal control.
Animals running at large left unchecked become a hazard to the
public, pets, live stock and the stray itself. The staff of the CCAS, along
with Cumberland County and the City of Crossville, strive to provide
and maintain a safe shelter for the animals brought into our care.
We work with A.A.R.F. (www.aarf-tn.com) to save our adoptable dogs from Euthanasia
at all costs. A.A.R.F. has received funding from the PETCO Foundation to purchase a van to transport
animals to approved rescues in New England. Transports leave weekly, assuming there are
enough dogs that need to be moved. For more information about this program,
please email jen@aarf-tn.com

Adopting a friend

When adopting a pet please keep in mind your lifestyle.
If you do not have time to properly groom a long-haired animal,
for example, look for an animal with a short care-free coat.
