The Humane Society said several people donated truck loads of supplies to its location at 311 Tennsco Drive in Dickson.
The Waverly shelter said it is also looking for volunteers to help deliver supplies where needed. Families affected by flooding need of support for their pets should contact the shelter at (931) 296-7319.
"We want to give you the support you need to KEEP your pets until you find your way to a safe place. If there is anything you need for your pet at all please call or reach out to us or stop by. Please report any found or missing pets. We are here for you," the shelter said.
