About this shelter

Claiborne Animal Shelter in New Tazewell, TN

Claiborne Animal Shelter is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal shelter located at 674 Ritchie Lewis Drive in New Tazewell, Tennessee, about 40 miles southwest of Knoxville. It is open Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM and Saturday from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. The shelter's mission is to serve its community by sheltering animals in a humane environment, promoting pet adoptions, and reducing pet overpopulation through education and spay/neuter services, and it lists adoptable dogs and cats through Petfinder. Operated by the Claiborne County Animal Control Board, the shelter emphasizes that adopting a pet gives a deserving animal a second chance while helping build a more compassionate, responsible community.
