Appalachian Highlands No-Kill Animal Shelter

The City of Kingsport, Tennessee, receives animal control services from Petworks Animal Services, formerly known as SBK Animal Control Center. We also provide area adoptions. We are committed to giving the lost and abandoned animals in the area the finest care possible.

Our goal is to rescue both owner-released and homeless cats and dogs whose owners can no longer care for them because of challenging circumstances. As we try to find new, loving homes for our cats and dogs, we provide these animals with a place to live with compassion, dignity, and hope.

The nearby Fur The Love Of Dog Animal Sanctuary is a reputable establishment that offers shelter for many animals.

As a supervised intake facility, the Animal Shelter of Sullivan County requires an appointment before you can surrender your pet. We no longer accept feral or community cats, but we still provide Sullivan County residents with a Community Cat trap, neuter, and release program (Excluding Kingsport and Bristol City).

We are here to help lost, relinquished, neglected, or abused animals who all deserve a second chance with a caring family. Each animal in our shelter receives a cozy bed, food, comfort, medical assessment, medical care, and vaccinations.
