Shelter Animals Rescue Group

Our organization is an all-volunteer 501(c)3 non-profit, formed in 1996 to help save adoptable dogs and cats from euthanization at the Oak Ridge Animal Shelter. We specialize in mixed breeds. Our shelter is often filled with very adoptable animals that must die because of space limitations, and we are devoted to giving a second chance to as many as we can. We house our animals in foster homes or boarding kennels for as long as it takes to find them permanent homes. We participate in numerous community events to promote our animals and the concept of adoption/rescue.

Meet Mandolin

Another beautiful spring afternoon, about a week after Viola's story began, a second story begins to take shape. Four-and-a-half-week-old kittens, Cello and Mandolin, decided to make an appearance just before a magical tea party in the fairy garden with a bunch of girls. They popped their little heads out from beneath a woodpile in the foster family's carport and meowed loudly. They had a quick bath, which they did surprisingly well with, to get prepared to meet the girls that evening. Kittens + teen/preteen girls equals an evening of sheer bliss! They are thriving in foster care. Their first vet visit was on May 29. Mandolin, a sweetand sassy little gray-and-white female, weighed in right at a pound. Cello, a fluffy, chill, gentlemanly black-and-white tuxedo male, weighed in at 0.97 pounds. Both are eating wet and dry food and figured out the litter pan all on their own. The vet did their first deworming and they go back in about 2 weeks for their first shots. Both kittens are already coming to the foster parents for love, attention and cuddles.The adult cat and 51-pound black Lab mix in the household are helping to mother these tiny little kitties. They are doing their best to keep up with Viola and her high energy. Mandolin is quickly trying to work her way into the role of princess of the household with her feisty diva personality, while Cello likes to spend time exploring and hanging out with the dog. We can't wait to see what the next chapter holds for these adorable bundles of fluff. [Note: Cello has already found a new home!] Adoption information at https://shelteranimalsrescue.org/adopt
