Humane Society of Washington County, TN

The Appalachian Highlands Humane Society promotes Spay/Neuter and we assist individuals who cannot afford that for their pet. We also pull animals from our local animal shelter and place them in foster care, give them any medical attention they need, spay/neuter prior to adoptions. We also, review craigslist on a daily basis and contact individuals listing "free" puppies, dogs, cats and kittens in an effort to get them to surrender to us and attempt to educate these individuals about spay/neuter and the danger of listing free animals. Along with our foster animals, we take animals currently residing in our local shelter to adoption events. We have a goal and are working with our Animal Control Board/local shelter to become a no-kill community.
