Road Home Animal Rescue
About Our Rescue Group
DUE TO SAFETY AND PRIVACY CONCERNS MOST OF OUR PETS CAN NOT BE POSTED.
We have lots of hurricane Katrina animals, many are ready for adoption. In early 2002, the Road Home Animal Rescue created Tennessee's first and only shelter designed to specifically aid the animal victims of domestic violence. Since a battered spouse is less likely to leave an abusive environment if he / she has to leave the pets behind, it was important to give these victims a safe, temporary solution for the refuge and rehabilitation of their cats and dogs. Womens centers do not allow animals to stay. The Safe Haven Program places the animal in an undisclosed site and will provide it with any necessary medical care, physical therapy, etc. This is a confidential program intended to provide the animal with as much security as a human shelter would offer to women and children. Road Home now operates in all of (by referal,) Tennessee and maintains a park like sanctuary for these abused animals. Road Home has provided services for over 1000 animals and has never denied services to a Tennessee domestic violence victim. Come Meet our Pets
(CURRENTLY HOUSEING HURRICANE KATRINA ANIMALS) We are located at the entrance to the beautiful Cumberland Mountain State Park in Crossville, TN, in the historic Homesteads area. Our shelter looks more like a park than a shelter. High atop the Cumberland Plateau, we are about two hours from Nashville and less than two hours from Knoxville and Chattanooga. If you are coming to visit from out of town we suggest you call prior to coming. During rescues we often have to close the shelter to the public.
Our Adoption Process
Kittens/cats 65.00
puppies/dogs 85.00 to 120.00 All vet work completed. ADOPTION FEES MAY BE WAIVED OR LOWERED TO GREAT HOMES WITH WRITTEN AND SIGNED VETERINARY REFERENCE FOR ANIMALS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS OR WHO HAVE BEEN AT THE SHELTER OVER 6 MONTHS! Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group. |
