Cookeville/Putnam County Animal Shelter

Welcome to the Cookeville/Putnam County Animal Shelter (CPCAS), where our mission is centered around the compassionate care and adoption of animals in need. We see ourselves as matchmakers, dedicated to finding loving, forever homes for all adoptable pets. Our commitment extends to providing a safe haven for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and even ferrets, ensuring that every creature receives the attention and respect it deserves. At CPCAS, we embrace the core value of inclusivity; we never turn away any animal from Putnam County. Our doors are always open to those looking to adopt, foster, or volunteer, fostering a strong sense of community and love for animals. Our volunteers play an essential role in helping us maintain high standards of animal care and are encouraged to engage in activities that resonate with their interests and schedules. In addition to our adoption outreach, we actively support the community in reuniting lost pets with their families. We advise all pet owners to keep their pets identified with tags and microchips to facilitate quick returns. Interested individuals can also access our resources for lost and found pets through partnerships with innovative platforms like PetcoLoveLost. The shelter thrives on the generosity of our community through donations, whether it be monetary support via PayPal or checks, or the gift of supplies. Every contribution makes a significant impact on our operations, enabling us to provide the best care to our sheltered animals. Join us in our journey at CPCAS—whether you're adopting, volunteering, or sponsoring an animal. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of countless animals in need.
