Reading team volunteers assist us in mentally engaging our animals. This helps them to become more adoptable while living in a shelter environment! When working with the animals in the reading team, you will not be handling them physically, but will instead be challenging them to listen to your words. You can read a book, do your homework, or quietly play them an instrument!

Mission Statement
Located in Knoxville, TN our organization is committed to our relationships with other shelters in the Eastern Tennessee Valley, by transferring animals at-risk for euthanasia, to our shelter for adoption.
