FFAS is a 501(c )(3) non-profit organization dedicated to
rescuing abused, abandoned and neglected animals in middle Tennessee. The animals taken in
by FFAS are checked by a veterinarian, vaccinated, spayed or neutered and then placed in
our adoption program and housed by a volunteer foster parent. We are committed to
long-term care and placement of all animals that come into Freedom Farm. Therefore,
we do not euthanize as a means of population control or to make room for new animals. Learn more about FFAS.

Thanks from FFAS!
Special thanks to the 5th grade girls at the University School for being so kind and thoughtful for donating $750 to FFAS from their penny drive. This money will go a
long way in helping the homeless kitty cats and doggies FFAS rescues.
Adoptions: Currently animals
are available for potential adoption through our sponsor Petsmart locations in
Goodlettsville (Rivergate). Cats are housed on-site at Petsmart's "Luv-A-Pet
Center" during business hours. Dogs are brought on Saturdays from 10 to 2. All
potential adopters must submit an FFAS application, be approved, and then sign a contract
with stipulations concerning the animal's welfare. FFAS insures a proper fit between the
family and their new pet through follow-up contact with the adopter.
FFAS attempts to update this website regularly.
Currently CATS and DOGS are posted with
pictures and a brief description which may identify history, breed, personality and
special needs. Courtesy postings are provided for animals that may be affiliated with other programs. If you are particularly
interested in a certain animal, you may contact the FFAS dog or cat coordinator under "Contact Us" or send a message to the email link
provided with their description. Sometimes people are looking for a
specific breed or need to find certain breed rescue. You can check under
Breed Rescue for more information. You can also find other available rescues locally or
available anywhere in the United States by linking to the 1-800-Save-A-Pet.com web site.
"Senior Pets for Seniors":
Medical research studies have found older persons who own pets are happier, more content, and healthier both emotionally and physically than seniors without pets.
Having a cute cuddly pet to love gives purpose and meaning for seniors who otherwise may become depressed due to loneliness and may withdraw from society.
Link to our SENIOR PETS for SENIORS web page to view our adoptable senior pets that have good temperaments and friendly
loving dispositions that would make any senior excited about getting out of bed in the morning to love and care for any of
one of these precious angels.
