Shelter FAQs

We have been serving Sumner County as an adoption agency of homeless animals for 36 years. We are a nonprofit, 501c3 charitable organization and we rely on donor support. We frequently fundraise and we always accept donations, both monetary and of supplies! Volunteers who can help to socialize the animals and assist with fundraising events are needed, and foster homes for animals who are not yet ready for adoption are also needed.
We intake animals from around Sumner County and will adopt them into loving homes, wherever they may be, locally or across the county!

Additional adoption info

The first step is to come into our adoption center at at 16 Volunteer Drive, Hendersonville, TN. We ask each potential adopter to submit an application in person at our center. After a brief interview to determine that the chosen animal is a good match for the adopting person or family, the adopter will sign an adoption contract and pay an adoption fee. Individual animals might have specific requirements or considerations.
