“Purple Collar Promise - Any time we rescue an animal from the shelter, they get a purple collar to signify our commitment to be there for them for the rest of their lives so they never have to be homeless again. The Purple Collar Promise program was born out of the need to be there for all of the pets adopted from The Animal Protectorates at any time. Our goal is to do the best job possible of making sure the homes we choose for our pets is a good fit for them so that we have a low return rate. In 2022, we only received 2 dogs back into our care.Friendsville Scholarship Pets - In Friendsville, TN, our pets receive donated room, board and staffing at Friendsville Animal Center a luxury pet resort. We call these pets our Scholarship Pets. Our mission with this program in Tennessee is to introduce the concept of adopting pets to an area where most people purchase puppies from breeders. Rather than focusing on numbers, we focus on caring for orphaned pets as if they are our own suddenly let alone in the world. In 2022, we placed 18. Of those placements, 78% of the adopters had never adopted a shelter pet.Beautiful Dogs - People are always amazed how quickly dogs recovering from amputation surgery relearn how to function with missing limb(s). The willingness and can-do attitude of these dogs put a smile on peoples faces. In 2022, we were selected to become the new life-guardian for Rufio (now Cheerios), a Golden Retriever with a deformed front paw surrendered by his owner to an emergency hospital in Washington State after she was unable to afford his care. With two other friendly amputee dogs already Scholarship Pets (Blossom (a front leg amputee) and Honey (a rear leg amputee)), we developed the Beautiful Dogs program a program to take these dogs with missing limbs through therapy dog training with the end goal of them helping people who have gone through a similar loss (or suffered some type of body trauma - burn, eye loss, etc). These dogs will be permanent residents or live with foster families so they can continue to train and help people. In late 2022, a trainer put together a basic outline of how to start exposing these dogs to situations they may encounter while out and about and volunteers have started working with them. Saving Spot Boutique (opening March 2023) - We receive donated space and staff for our dogs at Friendsville Animal Center boarding and day care facility. On the same property, there was an approximately 3500 square foot building that was not being used. We asked to use the building as a thrift store taking donations of designer clothing and higher end used furniture and home dcor to then resale to fund our other programs as well as provide need-based spay/neuter assistance to City of Friendsville residents. We were given permission with a nominal lease/terms to get up and running. We purchased discounted fixtures from businesses closing down and set up utilities and sales infrastructure. We plan to be all volunteer run and open the 1st and 3rd Saturday of each month starting March 1st, 2023.”
