FFAS is a
501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to rescuing abused, abandoned and neglected
animals in and around Middle TN area. We encourage proper pet care and advocate spaying
and neutering to help stop pet overpopulation. We currently use a system of foster homes
to house all the animals in our care. We are committed to long-term care and
placement of all animals that come into our organization. Therefore, we do not use
euthanasia as a means of population control. This in turn makes intake of animals
into our system depend on the amount of adoptions.
FFAS started in the Robertson
County area in 1999. A few kind hearts got together and realized the need for a
program such as ours. Freedom Farm Animal Sanctuary was born. We soon expanded
into the surrounding counties of Davidson and Sumner. Since then, many accomplishments
have helped make FFAS one of the leaders in our area fighting against pet
overpopulation. FFAS operates with an all-volunteer board and staff, which
tirelessly work to save as many animals as possible. A partnership with PETsMART allows us to showcase our animals. Cats can be
adopted at any time at the Rivergate PETsMART and dogs are seen on Saturdays from
10-6. Future goals include fundraising to help open our own adoption center,
and acquisition of land to build our own sanctuary.
Each year in the U.S., an estimated 5 million animals are needlessly
euthanized due to one fact: There are too many animals! FFAS advocates the
spaying and neutering of all companion animals in order to stop this tragedy. All
animals adopted from FFAS are altered PRIOR to adoption. Any
puppies or kittens take in by FFAS must have their mother spayed. FFAS sponsors the
Spay Station of Wilson County Humane Association, which is a mobile spay/neuter unit, to
come to different parts of Middle TN to provide low-cost or free spay/neuter to those on
government assistance or low income.
