Our Featured Pet...

News

I am a corporation and 501 C 3 with IRS, a non profit public charity.

We have found homes for 60 dogs and 3 cats since September, 2008.

Transport available for out of the area adoptions.

Who We Are

I would like to introduce myself and my family

My name is Virginia Harvell, my husband is Lee . We are a family with 3 cats and 2 dogs. Our home is in the mountains of Pioneer,Tennesee about 40 miles north of Knoxville.

Our love of animals has led us to start a rescue for abandoned animals in the area and out of the area.

It happened when I came across 6 newborn puppies on a mountain road on September 12, 2008. I picked them up and we were able to nurture 4 of them for forever families. We were saddened to lose 2 of them.

Since then we have rescued and found homes for 0ver 75 puppies and juvenile dogs. We have 2 older dogs, 15 youngsters that are ready for forever homes.

How to Adopt

Call me.  If you are able to meet your pet choice, we will arrange a time for you to meet.  You need to complete an adoption application and contract.  Email it to me at
ginnyspetrescu@gmail.com.

I will tell you everything I know about the animal, and will tell you if there are any special needs that the animal may have.

Adoption approvals are based on my observation of you with the pet or checking your application thoroughly. I would not knowingly allow you to adopt an animal that might not fit into your family.

You must sign a legal contract agreeing to the care of your adopted pet. You must also agree that if for any reason you cannot keep the animal, it will be returned to Ginny's Pet Rescue.

My adoption fee for pets is FEMALES - $100 MALES - $75. Includes spay or neuter procedure and rabies shot . Vaccinations are age-appropriate and current.  They will have been wormed and flea/tick application. Over 6 months old will be on Heart Worm Preventative I take them to a low cost spay.neuter clinic to try and keep the cost to a minimum.  Everything is done for you before you take the pet home.  You pay only for actual costs, nothing more unless you want to donate to my organization.   THANK YOU AND HAVE A BLESSED DAY!
