TVAS History

Tobacco Valley Animal Shelter is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization that was established on January 1, 2008.

We leased the decades old dilapidated animal shelter near the river walk from the county for 2 years and then in 2010 were able to build a brand new facility north of town where we are currently located.

We are proud to say that we have had over 9,800 pets through our shelter doors since that time, as well as provide thousands of pounds of pet food to community pets and facilitate over 5,000 spay/neuter surgeries for the owned pets of Lincoln County residents.

We are truly living our Mission Statement of "Improving the lives of pets and people in Lincoln County and beyond"!
