Welcome to The Bridge Home No Kill Animal Rescue

 

It’s Our Season of Giving

During the remainder of December, you have an opportunity to support local homeless pets through one of the below ways.

As a non-government entity, we do not receive any local, state, or federal funding to support our rescue operations year-round. Which means one simple thing: We rely on the generosity of supporters like you!

We invite to join us in making the season a little brighter for the animals in our care.

Trim a Tree is a fundraising project to help support the Rescue operations. When you make a gift online of at least $10 using our on-line donation form at https://www.bridgehome.org/support-us/donate/ (comment with “Trim A Tree campaign”), you can include a picture of your pet (optional), along with their name(s) and/or yours to be included on the ornament. Donations and pictures of pets may also be mailed to us at P.O. Box 654, Blountville TN 37617. Our team will make a custom ornament honoring your contribution and hang it on the tree displayed in our lobby. Pictures will be posted on our Facebook page throughout the season.

 

While you’re ordering your holiday gifts online…you can add a few of our wishlist items to your cart!

We need everything from food, toys, trash bags and all things in between to ensure that the animals we care for at the rescue have healthy, safe, and enriched lives while they wait for their forever homes and families to adopt them.

Attention:

We are currently unable to accept walk-in surrenders or new kitten/cat intakes due to our current overpopulation. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. However, we encourage you to fill out our waiting list form, as we are always taking waiting list applications and will reach out to you when space becomes available. Application for our waiting list does not guarantee we can take your animal and we cannot estimate how long it may be on the waiting list. Thank you for your understanding.
