Our Pet Adoption Center is located in Lebanon, TN and was built in 1978 and has provided a valuable service to the community by accepting owner surrendered dogs and cats to be re-homed to other families. We average around 700 adoptions annually. In 2009 this program made the significant step of becoming a no-kill facility. Careful planning was required to make this transition. We researched and utilized best practices to successfully reach and maintain our goal - a 95% adoption rate.

CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments
| Funding for our Adoption Center is an ongoing challenge. The budget to run the shelter program depends on fundraisers and private donations. The animals adoption fees cover less than 20% of the budget for the lifesaving program. |
