Animal Shelters In Sullivan County And Kingsport Will No Longer Be Under The Same Umbrella. This Means They Will Operate Separately. Petworks President Tom Parham Said The Decision Will Allow A New Shelter In Kingsport To Be Built. The Move Comes After The Sullivan County Commission Failed To Provide Funding For The New Petworks Building In Kingsport. However, The Separation Will Mean The Shelters Will Have To Restrict Intake, By Only Taking Animals From Each Respective Area. The Separation Will Be Finalized December 31st.
