Cumberland County Animal Shelter - Crossville, TN

08/14/2026

Animal Control responded to a call yesterday afternoon on a very remote stretch of Smith Mountain Rd, where this handsome guy was found lying by the side of the road with a pile of dog food nearby.

​We’ve named him Harvey! 🐶

​While the circumstances suggest he may have been left behind, we're hopeful there's more to this story than meets the eye. Harvey is already neutered, has a fantastic temperament, and is in great physical shape (clean coat, no fleas or ticks!). Because he’s so well-cared for, we are holding out hope that there’s another explanation and a loving family is searching for him right now.

​A massive thank you to Officer Grove for getting Harvey safely off the road and into warm, caring hands. 💙

​📍 Found Location:
​Area: Smith Mountain Rd (Remote section)
​Name given by shelter: Harvey
​Traits: Male, Neutered, friendly/great temperament, well-groomed

​PLEASE SHARE this post to help us reach his owners if they are out there!
​If you recognize Harvey or have any information, please call our office at 931-484-8525.

We need your help! Please SHARE

Do you recognize this boy???? He was found along the interstate near the rest area near the Crab Orchard exit-under very unusual circumstances. He's obviously very scared. If you recognize him, please contact the shelter at 931-484-8525.

UPDATE: Owner has been located!
Thank you all for sharing- these two and their adorable mugshots have captured everyone's heart and we all appreciate it!

We’ve got a real situation on our hands, folks:

Two beautiful, large Rottweilers have officially been taken into shelter custody!

​These two partners-in-crime were spotted living their best lives on an unsanctioned solo expedition. They tried to claim they were just "inspecting the neighborhood," but Animal Control wasn't buying the innocent act!

​Here is what we know about these loveable delinquents:
​The Suspects: Two gorgeous, healthy Rotties who are clearly someone's spoiled-rotten babies.

​The Crime: Unlawful roaming, impersonating lap dogs, and stealing the hearts of every officer who greeted them.

​Current Situation: Serving time in our VIP lounge, enjoying complimentary snacks, and patiently waiting for their humans to post bail.

​If this dynamic duo of troublemakers belongs to you—or if you know who they belong to—please contact the shelter immediately! Proof of ownership is required (and maybe a gentle lecture about staying in the yard).

​Please SHARE to help us return these big goofballs to their rightful home! 🐾 red-handed, but full of love!

We are so happy for Flossy!

We want to give a huge shout out to these wonderful ladies from Safe Haven Puppy Sanctuary!
Poor Flossy arrived at the shelter heavily pregnant, missing most of her hair, days away from giving birth and completely miserable.
Yet even then, she was such a sweet affectionate girl!
Fast forward about 7 weeks and Flossy and her 9 beautiful babies have all been placed with this wonderful rescue.
Thank you ladies! Although we will miss this sweet girl, we cant express how much it sets our hearts at ease knowing she will be able to finish recovering in a quiet, loving foster home!
