Cheatham County Animal Control Shelter

Our Mission

Cheatham County Animal Control is a County Government facility that receives nearly 2200 animals per year with room to house only 50 at a time. Four staff members clean, feed, treat, bathe, intake, answer phones, and make onsite calls for: at large, cruelty, neglect, and all other issues. The staff also works to save every animal possible with limited resources. Cheatham County is over 360 square miles and is filled with unwanted animals. Our county compliance on vaccinations, spay/neuter, and safety of animals is low. We are leading our staff and our community toward a culture change - which will take time...time our animals do not always have on their side. We rely on Rescues, Adopters, Donations and Education to do the very best we can to care for the many animals we receive daily. Your help is needed and appreciated.
