A visit to the Elizabethton shelter is always a good reminder that smaller shelters can thrive, if given resources and the right staff. The folks there do a fine job, and take care of the dogs and cats who are waiting on a family and a home.
You should definitely pay them a visit when you get a chance!
You can visit the Elizabethton/Carter County Animal Shelter at 135 Sycamore Shoals Road, Elizabethton, or call them at 423-547-6359.
