**MISSION**
The Germantown Animal Shelter strives to adopt dogs and cats into good homes as well as house stray dogs and cats until they are reunited with their owners.
**ADOPTING**
If you would like to view adoptable dogs and cats please come by the shelter during the hours listed above at 7700 Southern Avenue, Germantown, TN 38138. If you currently own a pet, you may bring him/her along to see
if the animals get along. You may also view our adoptable pets on our PetFinder site: http://www.petfinder.com/pet-search?shelter_id=TN112 and the photo albums posted on this page. Adoption fees are $80 for dogs and cats which includes all age appropriate immunizations, rabies immunization and license, spay or neuter, heartworm testing in dogs and FIV, AIDS and FeLV testing in cats. Treatment for heartworm positive dogs are paid for by the city once the dog is adopted.
**VOLUNTEERING**
Volunteers of the shelter walk dogs, socialize cats, bathe and groom the animals. If you are interested in volunteering, you must go through a 20 minute orientation and fill out necessary paperwork. Those under 16 years of age must be accompanied by an adult volunteer. You may call (901) 757-7358 to set up an orientation.
