Best Friends Sanctuary Inc. is a humane organization dedicated to helping the animals in the city of Jamestown and Fentress County, Tennessee. Part of our mission is to promote spaying /neutering of the dogs and cats in our community to eliminate the large stray population.

Did you know that when the puppies are 4 months old, mom will be in heat again and will produce another litter in 2 months? Did you know that - An unspayed female dog, her mate and all of their puppies and their puppies’ puppies, if none are ever neutered or spayed, add up to: in 1 year: 16,- 2 years: 128 - 3 years: 512 - 4 years: 2,048 - 5 years: 12,288 - 6 years: 67,000 ? Cats are even more productive!

Free to a Good Home! The Death Sentence.

This is how some people see your giveaway pet:

Free bait to train fighting dogs. Free bait to train greyhounds.

Free fish bait. Free snakes food. Free money from the research lab.

Free sacrifice for satanic rituals. Free animal for malicious pranks.

Free animal to set on fire. Free animal to insert a firecracker into.

Free to a good home to breed indiscriminately.

Now you know why we always charge adoption fees for our pets, and why we always screen so carefully for good homes. "Free" is all too often seen as "worthless" in the eye of the beholder.

Please, don’t offer your pets FREE to a good home, unless you just don’t care what happens to them.

Volunteers who work endless hours to save pets from the horrors of abuse and homelessness bring this message to you.
