Cumberland Co. shelter closing its doors!!
Humane Society of Cumberland County to close in November CROSSVILLE (WATE) - A local no-kill animal shelter has announced its plans to close after running into funding trouble. The Humane Society of Cumberland County has scheduled a closure date of November 5."These puppies were found in a dumpster in a box when they were two to three weeks old," said Humane Society of Cumberland County Director Mark Greer, as he pointed out four 10-week-old puppies being cared for at the shelter.Two of the puppies have found homes. The two others puppies are among dozens of animals that will need permanent homes soon."We're out of money and can't come up with anymore," said Humane Society of Cumberland County President Alan Baker.The shelter's six employees will soon be out of work.Baker said the financial problem was inherited by former management when they purchased the property for the shelter and redeveloped the buildings.The city of Crossville also did not renew its contract, meaning the shelter was out thousands of dollars."The loss of that funding certainly hurt. It wasn't a killer, but if it wasn't the final straw, it was a good sign the straw was about to come," Baker said.The animal population has since decreased from 90 animals to 67, but that is a large number of dogs and cats at a no-kill shelter with an upcoming closure date."We encourage people to take a look and see if they can figure out a way to not help us, but help the animals," said Baker.The shelter stopped taking in animals four weeks ago, but a dog was tied to a pole outside and cats have been thrown over the gate even with a sign warning about the shelter's closure."There are easily 3,000 to 4,000 animals, unwanted, abandoned animals a year that need to be dealt with by somebody," Baker said.The Humane Society of Cumberland County has already contacted other no-kill shelters in Nashville and Memphis, even shelters out of state asking for help.For a closer look at the available dogs and cats you can go to the shelter's website.(I found this today on WATE.com)
