Here's what the humans have to say about me:
RESCUE ONLY:
Groot is a 33 lbs and fully vetted now, including HW neg and microchip. We need a rescue that is willing to take him in to a foster home and work with him. He allows us to touch and pet him, but he gets as small as possible in the corner and no eye contact. He does not come out of his kennel if we are around. We have to open the door and leave the room. I have had him out with another female puppy and he finally started playing some, but then she went to a rescue and he is back to being unsure of everything. He needs to learn to be a dog. He has also been out with some of the other bigger dogs and was fine. He was fine with cats too. I try to sit in his kennel when I am there for him to get used to me but he hasn't loosened up yet. He won't even take a treat from me. It is so pitiful.
If you know of a rescue that might be willing to take this boy on, please let us know. His rescue fee to an approved rescue is $70 as he is fully vetted.

The current adoption fee is $75 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. No dog will leave the shelter to an adopter without being vetted first.
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, however if a party is interested in a particular dog before it becomes available they may send an inquiry to susan.ragsdale@lewisburgtn.gov and those inquiries will be kept track of in order of received once dog becomes available. Adopters/rescues will be notified what order they are in in regards to each dog. They are available at 8am on the day they are available. Non vetted dogs will have an appointment scheduled and will be available for pickup for adoption the day after their surgery. Approved rescues may pull a dog and have vetted at their own expense once available to the public.
