Miss Sugar was on tap to be put down, but a shelter staff member kept ""mislaying"" the paperwork to avoid having it done.

This senior chocolate lab was surrendered a few days ago to Catoosa County Animal Control. He is reported to be good with other dogs and kids. Sweet temperament. Please contact the shelter if you’re interested in meeting him. 706-935-2454. Ty

Leroy has a favor to ask! He is wondering if anyone would be able to donate some canned Purina One (classic ground) dog food to help fill his and his friends' tummies?

Leroy came to HES with many injuries from an animal attack. He is doing much better now and is on the mend! He is a little bit of a picky eater but he seems to enjoy Purina One canned dog food mixed into his kibble (as do a few of our other picky pups!) but our stock is running low. If anyone is able to donate, Leroy would greatly appreciate it!

We are looking for canned Purina One classic ground. For easy ordering, you can shop off our Amazon Wishlist here: amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1ETZZGNBQESYL?ref_=list_d_wl_lfu_nav_1

Donations can be shipped or dropped off to the shelter, located at:
4155 Randolph Cir.
Chattanooga, TN 37406

THANK YOU ALL for your support! ❤

You were the one who taught me that family is the most important thing we have. We’re staying close for you, Mom.

He can’t tell anyone when something is wrong. He can’t pack a bag and leave. 💔

When a dog is being neglected or mistreated, he depends entirely on someone else noticing — and on the law being strong enough to protect him.

Animals and children aren’t the same, of course. But both can be completely helpless when someone chooses to treat them badly.

Should mistreating a defenseless animal carry much tougher consequences?
