"Networking with other animal rescue agencies enables us to have much more success finding homes for adoptable pets", said Cheryl Richardson, Celebration Pet Day Coordinator. "Events supported by the Purina Rally to Rescue Program enable us to continue to make a difference and save thousands of pets. They provide us with t-shirts, food bowls, and informative posters."
Shelbyville-Bedford County Humane Association is responsible for adopting nearly 100 homeless pets each year in Shelbyville and in the surrounding Bedford County areas. Since the organization is entirely operated by volunteers, the first step in pet adoption is the completion of an adoption application. Once the completed application is returned, potential adopters are scheduled to visit with the potential pet of their choice. Adoption fees usually start at $50.00 to help cover shelter costs and veterinary care. Adoption applications may be obtained by visiting SBCHA's website , by calling (931)684-KIND or e-mailing SBCHA@hotmail.com.
