The number of animals that need homes that are at the Washington County Animal Shelter has decreased significantly in the past week. 4 dogs found homes, but 2 new dogs were brought in, including a dachshund mix and a Border collie mix puppy, as well as 3 of the lab mix puppies still available, so the number of dogs is at 11. Last week there were 3 cats and 2 kittens available, but now there is only 1 cat there, so there are 12 animals at the shelter that need homes this week. Dog adoption fee is $30, which includes an A.V.I.D. Identification Chip. In addition, new owners will receive a certificate for $50 off spaying or neutering.

They then use the money from this to help pay for expenses of housing the cats and dogs. It is located at 17,990 Richview Road in Nashville. For more information, call 327-4800, extension 355.
