Unfortunately due to the actions of some, we have decided to limit our volunteer program. Volunteers must have either adopted, board or been referred from a member of our team to have access to our premises. We will no longer offer volunteer opportunities for court order or workplace groups.
We expect volunteers to be honest and forthcoming. We are no longer listed on grand platforms but will start listing directly on our website.

New World screwworms have just recently reemerged in the US. Keep an eye out for their charateristic lesions.

We just learned the one week we look forward every year from Alive in You will not be held in Knoxville this year; instead, the closest regional program for Tennessee will take place in Chattanooga, TN. We are so sad to learn of these changes.
If you have a group looking to volunteer, please let us know. We have many outdoor fun activities. Simply complete a volunteer form from our website to get started in making the difference in the life of homeless dogs.

We are stuck on $20 away from being able to close out this fundraiser. We need your help.
