Anderson County Animal Shelter (TN)

A quaint little shelter that shares a lot with the recycle center. Yes it is a very old and tiny facility, but I didn't come here expecting a five-star hotel resort. I came here to rescue a dog from staying long-term at such a facility and provide a fun and loving forever home. There is not much room for many dogs here, but we found a perfect match to be a playmate for my current dog. They've done nothing but play their tails off for a good hour since we got home. Alexis and Tiffany were both very helpful and accommodating to make for a smooth and simple adoption process. I agree that Anderson County needs to invest more funds into animal shelters, but these ladies have big hearts and want nothing more than to find a loving home for every one of these animals.

I adopted a cat thru them, thru Petsmart. Today I took her to be microchipped at shleter. Small but clean. Animals well cared for. Good people running it. Adopt don't buy..!!! My Maya already had already been spayed, rabies shot, FIV shot and tested. Adoption paperwork easy.

The looks from the outside are kinda scary at first because it’s on the same property as some small waste or recycling facility but once you get to the animal shelter itself it was well taken care of. I will say it’s very small only like a two room shelter with the dogs outside in kennels the kennels were spotless when i went. The people were very polite to me informing me on any animals they had.

I feel sorry for the animals in this horrible location!! I went there to adopt a kitten. When I had pulled in the place was an absolute junkyard. The dogs were outside in tiny little kennels, while all the kittens were mixed together no matter the litter. I picked out a kitten and on the paperwork it said it was 8 weeks old. They also said the kitten had been eating food there. When I took him home I noticed he was not eating anything. I took him to my normal vet to figure out the issue. They informed me that my kitten was at most barely 4 weeks old and had been malnourished at the animal shelter. He was so malnourished that his organs began to fail and sadly he passed away. I don’t want to turn anyone away from getting an animal out of this shelter; you will be doing them a favor by getti

I adopted this baby at Anderson’s, i tried to call different places that were closest to me but they were the only nice persons so i decided to go there, they ley me take my time and then paid 75 dollars( totally fair) and they even gave me paté for her, and she’s been the best❤️
