Monroe County Animal Shelter/Eastbourne Animal Center

"I can’t say enough bad things about my experience. I called today to try to see if they had any availability for a sweet, stray in our neighborhood. When I called she told me I didn’t need to call them I needed to call animal control. I explained that we were trying to avoid animal control because we wanted to make sure he went to a no kill shelter. She then told me to “hang on”, where her and a coworker proceeded to talk about me while I could still hear. The coworker said “Yeah good luck with that, everywhere has a wait list. Also there’s no such thing as a no kill shelter.” She then began speaking to me again and repeated everything they had said, in a slightly less demeaning tone than how they had been speaking about me previously. She then said “so do want to get on our waitlist or do you want the number for animal control?” To which I responded, “after everything you’ve just said, I don’t want to go with y’all”. She responded with “yeah, okay bye” and hung up the phone. I just really wasn’t expecting to be treated that way. Especially, since all I was asking was if they had availability to take another dog."

"I was told by animal Cantrell that he had no more room for any more animals and for me to call the animal shelter. So I did, I was also told from the animal shelter the same thing. They had no more room for no more animals. But they did have food that had been donated. I was desperate for these animals. They were starving so I went and got off the food and fed them but when it ran out. I can buy no more food. I'm on disability. I've tried to call for over a week and a 1/2, and my call is disconnected before I ever get to talk to someone I have enough problems right now, this isn't my job. This is my heart. And I can't walk away from these animals that are starving The dog is now setting out her pups to die because she cannot feed them so since There is supposedly not no room for these animals I am. Begging the public so please help me save these Poor animals from starving to death.They Have been dropped off by obviously heartless people. And the location others animals is On highway 72 right around the Dragons den bar. You'll see a silver boat turned upside down on the side of the bar. That's where the dogs had. There's 2 l ofthat's. That's just everywhere, including smashed ones in the road, please Go. Get these animals I can't do it alone. That's why there's places called animal shelters if there's no more room for these animals, then something else needs to be done but the situation is not being handled at all period And been left on my shoulders. I can't carry this weight. I'm already beat down to the payment myself. Thank you for your help"

"The cats there were just super sweet and loving ❤ Especially this little Orange kitten that I wanted! The dogs were just as sweet also, and the staff was kind. :)"

"Lovely environment very inviting to selected a lovely animal to bring home. My cat picked me with her paws. I'd happy in our home and playful. My son happy to have cats now. Their foster to adopt program helps so much selected the right fit your family. Thank you"

"Although it seemed loud and chaotic at first for me, there is much care and kindness going on behind the scenes. Without sound barriers on the outdoor kennels, the dogs can become rightfully excitable once the loud barking ensues. Veterinarians have examined each animal one or more times, each animal is spayed or neutered and all vaccinations are up-to-date. The entire staff has been open and honest in answering all questions I've had and I'm proud to say that that the stray who was walking the streets of Tellico Plains (formerly known as Shady Lady) has found her forever home and now goes by Sadie!"
