Today in America thousands of animals are homeless and almost completely lack the hope of joining a warm and loving family. As dog and cat overpopulation continues, euthanization of homeless pets occurs. Animal shelters, rescue agencies, and pet adoption organizations are daily putting forth valiant efforts to save the lives of these unfortunate animals and provide loving, caring homes for these hopeless animals.
Though these agencies work tirelessly, they are in dire need of helping hands. These organizations are almost always non-profit; that means they rely on financial donations and willing local volunteers for their subsistence.
Recently a group of dedicated volunteers banded together and founded the “Pets Without Parents” Shelter in Sevier County Tennessee.
Pets Without Parents was established January 2011 as a 501 non-profit organization with the mandate to rescue animals from deplorable situations where basic medical, nutritional, sanitary, and emotional needs are not being met.
The primary objective of “Pets Without Parents” is to establish a NO KILL shelter in the area, to take in rescue dogs and cats, shelter and care for them, meet their medical and nutritional, needs and to find them new homes where those needs will be met on a permanent basis. Their moto is: “Healing their Scars, Treating their Hearts”
