Our purpose is to relieve the discomfort, pain and hunger of our community's dogs and find them a home where their care is a priority.

 

We are located in Grundy County, TN. We take abused, neglected and abandoned dogs to give them the life they deserve - one filled with love, care and compassion. We often work closely with the Grundy County Sheriff and the Tracy City Police Department to execute dog rescue operations. Our service area typically includes Grundy County and the surrounding counties, although we have taken in dogs from other counties and even other states.

​

Once animals are in our care, we place them in a comfortable and sterile environment in quarantine, until they have been cleared to move into areas with other dogs.  They are carefully inspected and treated for fleas/ ticks and dewormed, we also administer vaccines at this time (DAPP and Bordetella). We spay/ neuter each dog as soon as we can (rabies is administered at this time). Their pictures and information are posted to our site and other adoption agencies, and together we work to find them homes. All our dogs have a fee associated with their adoption to help cover this care, but it’s still less expensive than buying a dog from a breeder and paying for their shots as an owner. (We can also arrange a veterinarian to provide validated paperwork of their care.)

​

We are a no-kill shelter, and we believe in outside enrichment, so our dogs do not stay in kennels 24/7.

The operation was founded by Andy Wostal (CEO), and he runs it with Lynn Borchert (Shelter Liaison, Secretary), Joey Vredenburgh (Vice President), Kamryn Vredenburgh (Board Member), Cassidy Strong (President/Dog Groomer), and Jackie Starks (Treasurer). Easy's receives calls daily to pick up dogs of all ages and breeds. Because of the number of dogs rescued, the shelter has a constant need for small blankets, towels, straw, dog houses, dog food (dry), and monetary donations. This is especially helpful in the winter or for the puppy pit (the nursery). Any of these things that you can donate would be greatly appreciated. Contact us or message us on Facebook to arrange a donation.
