Want a furry friend? The Unicoi County Animal shelter is hosting a “clear the shelters” nationwide pet adoption drive. They’re calling on the community to help, and offering reduced adoption fees.”We’re having a backlash from covid, everybody was adopting animals, now everybody’s back to work and nobody’s wanting to keep them anymore,” says Pam Harris the executive director of Unicoi County Animal Shelter. The Unicoi County Animal Shelter typically cares for 40 to 60 animals, now the shelter has more than 200 cats and dogs.
