...their love is unconditional

•We are an all-volunteer 501c3 nonprofit organization in Blount County TN created by local shelter and rescue workers who saw a population of pets in our community who were suffering due to inadequate shelter or being chained because they did not have enclosures.

•Our goal is to improve their lives..

•We build and distribute dog houses and erect enclosures to end chaining of outdoor dogs.

•We provide spay/neuter and other medical services to client animals.

•We promote the establishment and enforcement of animal welfare laws that protect companion animals from cruelty and neglect.

•Help us help them

Our Mission

Why we do what we do.

We help the In-Between dogs.

Somewhere between the pampered pooches who spend most of their day indoors and have access to grassy lawns ... and the neglected, endangered dogs who need to be removed entirely ... are the IN-BETWEEN DOGS.

Their living conditions are not optimal, but do not break local ordinances. Their owners care about their pets, and are willing to accept help. That's where BCAWS step
