Eastbourne Animal Center, operated by Monroe County Friends of Animals, offers dog and cat adoptions to Eastern Tennessee veterans through its partnership with Pets for Patriots.

The shelter maintains a Second Chance Pals Program, through which older pets are fostered to give them more time to find a loving home. In addition, Eastbourne Animal Center operates a pet food bank to help residents experiencing short-term financial hardship.

Eastbourne Animal Center accepts monetary donations, and purchases at its thrift store help fund shelter operations. For a more hands on experience, become one of their valued volunteers or pet fosters.
