Pal, Our Hope Horse
This poor fellow was dumped from a trailer in the middle of the road in Snead. A member of Blount County Animal Shelter took him in overnight and took him to the vet the following day.
Blount County Animal Shelter is paying for his bills, but any donations would be appreciated.
This poor fellow has lice and his fur is matted with a black tar like goo. He is covered with bite marks, some old and some new. Some are still oozing and faw. He has bald areas all over him.
STOP--Stop the Over Population program
A litter of puppies or kittens that are surrendered to the county animal control facility stand a greater than 60% chance of never leaving alive. In an effort to stop these litters from entering the county facility, BCASI has formed a coalition under our Stop the Over Population (STOP) program.
History of Blount County Animal Shelter
Blount County Animal Shelter, Inc. (BCASI) was formed in 2002 to address the problem of stray and abandoned animals. Local law enforcement estimated that thousands of stray dogs ran in packs in the rural areas. Our movement was instrumental in the hiring of the first ever animal control officer.
