The Elizabethton / Carter County Animal Shelter is a Government-operated Animal "Adoption Shelter." We only accept and adopt out domestic cats and dogs from Carter County. We do not accept Feral animals nor wildlife nor farm animals and we do not provide veterinary or euthanasia services to the public. We are a very small shelter and do not kill animals to make space to take in more animals. Just like a hospital, nursing home or human shelter, when we are full, we are full. We do have a waiting list and, as we adopt pets out and have room, we will accept new animals.
