How did you become a scholarship pet? 

The Animal Protectorates found me at a local shelter. 

Tell us about yourself?

TN Scholarship Pet Nellie was adopted from a shelter when she was only a few months old and spent her life with the same family.  At 10 years old, they took Nellie back to that same shelter because they could not find housing to accept Nellie that they could also afford.  She is an angel. She loves everyone. Her happy-overcome-anything personality is enhanced by her soft eyes and gently demeanor. Since Nellie has been with us, she has had a full dental procedure and a mass removed (which was affecting her gait). The mass was just fatty – benign – and now Nellie runs with the butterflies. Nellie is in overall good health and will make an amazing companion and friend. 

How can you meet me?

The very first step is filling out an adoption application.   (Please make sure you get a confirmation that your application has been submitted.)  After your application is received, it’s reviewed and if we may be a match, you’ll be invited to come meet me!

Anything else?

All scholarship pets are spayed/neutered, current on age appropriate vaccinations and microchipped before going to their new home because that’s the responsible way to keep us all safe. Oh and another great thing is that all scholarship pets get 30% off boarding for lifetime at Friendsville Animal Center, LLC.

Is there an adoption fee?

Yes.  While we receive free room and board at Friendsville Animal Center, the adoption fees help to provide food and any medical care we may need during our stay (and pays it forward to other scholarship pets that find their way here).  Here is some information about the adoption fees.
