A wise man regards the life of his beast. Proverbs 12:10 King James Version

Donations Needed!
![]() While your generous tax-deductible donations make it possible for us to treat dogs others do not even consider rescuing, we also rely on your donations for our routine spay and neuter program. On August 14, 2010 we rescued seven starving puppies (two are shown in this photo) which is typical for us during any given week. The puppies required IV fluids and extended vet stays. Unfortunately one of the pups did not survive and we are praying for the others. This would not be necessary if people would spay and neuter their pets. One unsprayed female and her offspring can produce 67,000 unwanted puppies in only 6 years. We also rescued 40 dogs and cats from last May's floods, the vast majority required spay and neuter. The pet population in the middle TN and throughout the South in particular is so bad that hundreds of great animals are being put down in area kill shelters each week. When female dogs are not spayed, they are at higher risk for fatal infections of the uterus at a young age and males left un-neutered are at a much higher risk of testicular cancer. Please help us continue our practice of spaying and neutering all dogs and cats when age appropriate by donating via PayPal or sending your tax deductible check to us at P.O. Box 210830, Nashville, TN 37221. Proverbs 12:10 helped Cheatham County Animal Control by rescuing about 28 dogs from the many who were surrendered by a family in November 2009. Elbert is shown (below left) with Proverbs Director, Lavonne, at the time he was rescued. He was obviously extremely thin, was covered with bed sores as well as being heartworm positive. Lavonne provided him with one-on-one attention, home cooked food throughout his heartworm treatment and he is now available for adoption.

Proverbs 12:10 Animal Rescue is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization comprised of an all volunteer group of dedicated animal lovers who feel it is our privilege to care for God's "helpless" creatures.
We are dedicated to finding "forever" homes for all of our pets. We take in even those "less desirables" that need medical treatment and/or special attention, as welll as those "found or surrendered" pets! Many times these pets require hundreds or even a few thousand dollars in medical treatment before they can be adopted to a loving family.
Proverbs 12:10 Animal Rescue does not have a facility. Our organization chooses to keep our pets in Foster Care and show them on Adoption Day every Saturday the Bellevue, TN Petco.
Please see our Fostering Pets Page for information on our Foster Care Program.
