About All Tenn. Paws

Our story begins with a woman and a man who are fiercely committed to the welfare of animals. We are animal lovers to the depths of our souls. Our love of and respect for animals define us and have bound us to their care and advocacy. 

As lifetime animal lovers, we have lost beloved animal companions and have stood where we stand now, filled with that grief and loss. Between the two of us, we bring nearly 50 years of work ensuring the well-being of animals and honoring the importance and power of the human-animal bond. We have extensive experience with service dog programs, animal rescue, and therapeutic riding. These experiences have resulted in our firm belief in the importance and limitless wonders of animals in our lives. We strongly feel that animals bring wisdom and beauty to any of us who wish to listen and learn. In return for their great gifts to us, we believe we have a constant and compelling obligation to promote and ensure their well-being throughout all stages of their lives. This fierce conviction has led to our creation of All Tennessee Paws and our guiding principle… to treat every animal we work with exactly how we would want our beloved companion animals to be treated – with sensitivity, respect, and gentleness.

We bring to All Tenn. Paws our pledge to excellence, compassion, dedication to the human-animal bond, and deep understanding of and belief in the wonders and powers of animals in our lives. This deep and abiding commitment to animals and the human-animal bond is reflected in our partnership.

Therefore, together – you and us – can take a very difficult time in life, and with compassion and excellent care, allow it to be a time of healing and health for others – and coincidentally, ourselves. Thus, the All Tennessee Paws way…
