Sevier Animal Care Center 'out of space,' adoption fees waived

The Sevier Animal Care Center said Friday that they are getting a "large animal control case," and many of the dogs were injured.

SEVIER COUNTY, Tenn. — The Sevier Animal Care Center said they were out of space on Friday, and said they needed people to foster or adopt some of the animals in their facility as they prepared to take in a "large animal control case."

They said authorities responded to a property to make an arrest and found around 15 dogs on the property. They said two of the dogs were found dead. They also said many of the dogs involved in the case were injured.

"We and our county animal control officers are in crisis mode," they said on social media.

They also said adoption fees were waived until further notice, to help make room for the incoming dogs involved in the animal control case. While they said they would need to hold the dogs from that case, they said it would make a huge difference if their current adoptable pets left the facility for a home.

Anyone interested in adopting a dog from the Sevier Animal Care Center can the pups they have available online. They range from dogs as young as two months to ones more than 11 years old. Most have been spayed and neutered.

They also said they are in need of donations such as dog food, blankets and bones. They have a wishlist people can donate online, on Amazon and on Chewy. The center can be reached by phone at 865-465-6300 or by emailing SACCadoptions@gmail.com.
