Do not forget to bring your pets inside when it is too cold outside. IF IT IS TOO COLD FOR YOU, IT IS TOO COLD FOR THEM! The law says: During cold weather, a dog shelter must have a windbreak at its entrance and have bedding material that is sufficient to protect the animal from cold and promote the retention of body heat.
The Smyth County Public Animal Shelter located at 287 Fox Valley Rd at the Seven Mile Ford exit is now being operated by Smyth Animal Rescue. Our staff along with the shelter attendants will continue working hand-in-hand with the Animal Control Officers but you will begin seeing a few changes. Our priorities are to serve lost animals, especially those that are sick or injured; provide assistance when owners need to rehome their pets; provide education and resources to keep animals with their owners; and allocate space for animals awaiting court dates. Continue to follow Smyth Animal Rescue and Smyth Shelter Friends Facebook pages for more details about exciting changes.
Please email infosmythshelter @gmail.com if you would like to receive future updates via email. Phone number is still 276-646-2222. Option 1 is for the Animal Shelter. Option 2 is for Animal Control.
Thanks in advance for your patience as we work through this transition.
And many thanks to everyone who works hard to advocate for the animals

Zeus is a bright, fun-loving boy with a heart as big as his smile. He is full of life, loves to play with other dogs, and has that perfect mix of goofiness and charm that make him an excellent companion. Before arriving at the shelter, Zeus had never been on a leash but he has come so far! He is still gaining confidence and sometimes does a playful roll when he is unsure, so he will need a home that can continue safely helping him learn that walks are a good thing. He is already showing how smart he is, when you tell him to "sit", he will hold it so patiently until you give the all-clear to move again. At just under 2 years old, Zeus is ready to keep learning, keep loving, and bring endless joy to a home that will appreciate his silly spirit. A home with adults only would the best fit for this big-hearted goofball. Zeus, Boxer & Terrier Mix, Adult, Male, Medium, Brown. Vaccinations up to date. Adult Only Home Preferred, Prefers a home without Children.RESCUED!
