We realize it is an inconvenience, but coming to the Pet Placement Center is the best way to see our pets for adoption.
Please e-mail with questions about animals we have for adoption. aligato777@juno.com
Who We Are
The Tennessee Humane Animal League is a 501(c)3 organization devoted to the placement of homeless or surrendered animals through The Pet Placement Center (PPC). The PPC survives entirely on donations and fund raising activities.
We are a no kill animal adoption center which means we have very limited space. Once an animal comes to the Pet Placement Center, it will remain with us until it is adopted into a responsible permanent home...so we often have to turn people away due to lack of space. The PPC is a private adoption center and does not do animal control or do animal pick ups.
If you would like to become a member of the Tennessee Humane Animal League please contact us via telephone at 423-877-0738 or e-mail.
WISHLIST: cat litter, kitten & puppy formula (for bottle feeding), dry cat & dog food, puppy & kitten food, cleaning supplies, paper towels, paper plates, heating pads, monetary donations, and volunteers.
Adopting a Family Member
All potential adoptions are carefully screened. This is to ensure proper placement of each of our animals in a permanent home.
Our adoption fees are $90 - $115 for adult dogs/cats & puppies/kittens.
The adoption fee for pedigree, full bred, and some mix breed pets is $125 and up depending on the age/breed.
The adoption fee includes a free veterinary exam within 2 weeks of adoption, up to date vaccinations, tests for heartworms, heartworm medication, FELV/FIV test, deworming, flea treatment, and spay or neuter.
All adult animals are spayed/neutered before being placed up for adoption.
We do adopt outside the city and state, but we do not ship animals. All animals adopted out of the area must be picked up by their new owners.
Thank you to Walmart and Purina pet foods for their support of our animal shelter through the Very Best Pet Network. Be sure to check out the pictures we have posted of our adoptable pets. These pictures are located in the pet department at the Walmart on Highway 153 in Hixson. Show your support of animals by purchasing all of your pet supplies at your local Walmart.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
The Pet Placement Center is in need of volunteers to help the staff at the Center and to volunteer for special events and fund raisers. If you are an animal lover and would like to volunteer some of your spare time. We need you and the animals need you. We are also looking for people who have can volunteer special services to help with maintenance and repairs around the shelter. Please call 423-877-0738 if you would like to talk to someone about volunteering.
