Cumberland County and the city of Crossville will partner in the operation of the county's animal shelter after both the city and county have passed resolutions for the partnership.
Will the city of Crossville enter into an agreement once again with Cumberland County for housing stray animals picked up in the city after changes made by the Humane Society?
Cumberland County and the city of Crossville are beginning talks about how to handle the pet overpopulation in the community.
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.
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.

Cumberland County Animal Shelter requires the completion of a standard adoption contract. The fees for adoption are as follows:
$35.00 for dogs plus a $25.00 refundable spay/neuter deposit which totals $60.00. $15.00 for cats plus a $25.00 refundable spay/neuter deposit which totals $40.00.
State law requires all animals adopted from shelters or rescues be spayed/neutered within 30 days of adoption or at 6 months of age, whichever comes first. Spaying/neutering is the responsibility
of persons adopting the animal.
