Here is Shelter Information, including a map, staffing and hours, and instructions for going to the shelter to drop off an animal or trying to adopt.

 

If you have a dog or cat that needs to go the shelter, here is some advice, some options, and some instructions.

If you want to see the adoptable animals but can't get to the shelter easily, you can take a look at the shelter's cats and dogs on Petfinder.com.  These are updated regularly.

 

If you live outside Bell County, the Union County Humane Society and Claiborne County Animal Shelter in Tennessee offer services to their residents.
