The volume of animals euthanized at this shelter is unbelievable. Last year (2014) 932 dogs and cats were euthanized. That number will unfortnately increase this year. All this, despite the countless adopters, fosters, and rescuers, and many more selfless individuals that work day in and day out to save these furbabies here in Greene County. According to the website www.nokill.org there are approximately 46 no kill shelters throughout Tennessee, so why can't Greene County Animal Control be one of those no kill's as well? My goal is to get at least 5000 signatures on this petition as a start. Then I will personally petition our local lawmakers to subsidize more funding at the state level to realize our goal, so not one stray, abandoned, or owner relinquished animal is given the death penalty.
