Memorials, Recognition - Tennessee Shelter Animal Awareness Month -
SJR 350 is a symbolic resolution designating May 2025 as "Tennessee Shelter Animal Awareness Month." It recognizes the importance of shelter adoptions in helping Tennessee shelters achieve a 90% save rate for animals, encouraging Tennesseans to adopt from shelters rather than purchase pets. The resolution promotes awareness of shelter animal welfare and existing lifesaving programs like foster networks and community cat programs. As a commemorative measure, it has no legal effect or new requirements - it simply declares a month of recognition for animal welfare efforts.
