My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Spirit is a male terrier mix possibly Pomeranian/Dachshund mix found as a stray at Lewisdale Trailer park. He is very shy right now and takes some time to get used to strangers so we are very picky on who his adopter will be. You need to take the time to get to know him before he will be ready to go home with anyone. He will let a couple of our volunteers get him out of the kennel but with anyone else he sits at the back and growls. He cannot be adopted by just anyone who walks in unless one of those two volunteers is at the shelter to get him out.

Follow us on facebook under Lewisburg Animal Shelter Volunteers to see more candid photos of the dogs in our photo Albums. The current adoption fee is $125 which includes the dogs spay or neuter and Rabies vaccination at a local vet, and covers the distemper/parvo vaccine and bordetella vaccine and dewormings it receives here at our shelter.

After you have brought proof of your dogs spay/neuter back to the shelter $50 of that adoption fee will be returned to you, or you may choose to donate it so that another dog can be spayed or neutered at our shelter.

By TN state law stray dogs are held for 3 days so they can be found by their owners before being put up for adoption or rescue. A dog found as a stray wearing a collar is held for 5 days before it is put up for adoption or rescue. Our shelter is a first come first adopt/rescue facility.There are no holds placed on dogs for potential adopters/rescue. They are available at 7am on the day they are available and must be picked up and paid for at that date/time. An adopter or rescue cannot call and hold a dog to be picked up at a later date. It is available to the public until it walks out the door.
