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

Handsome Raoul came to us after his owner had to make the heartbreaking decision to surrender him. Unfortunately, his owner was no longer able to care for him and has tasked us with finding Raoul a new home. Raoul has never really been around other animals and is currently very nervous with all the other dogs barking in the kennel. But look at those eyes! He is an easy-going gentleman with new people. Raoul, Hound Mix, Adult, Male, Brown, White. Vaccinations up to date.RESCUED!
