The Union County Humane Society (UCHS) is a non-profit, tax-exempt, 501c3 organization, established and chartered by the State of TN in 1996. The UCHS is dedicated to the prevention of cruelty to animals through sheltering, education, sterilization, and legislation. We currently operate a small sheltering facility with an all volunteer staff on 20 acres of land that we recently purchased and are in the process of raising funds to build a permanent facility. UCHS receives mimimal funding from Union County and is dependant on donations from caring friends like you.

We have also initiated or played a major role in:

• Developing plans for future construction of the first Animal Shelter in Union County.
• Bringing the first veterinary practice to Union County.
• Organizing a program with Remote Area Medical to provide FREE spay/neuter clinics for low income households.
• Working toward cooperative efforts with county officials on development of a progressive animal control program.
• Providing educational information for area schools on humane treatment and care of animals, importance of spay/neuter, and the link between violence towards animals and violence towards humans.

Society members are special! Please join us today.

The Problem…

Pet Overpopulation

On any given day, 10,000 human beings are being born in the United States, but on the same day 70,000 puppies and kittens are also born. It is no surprise that too few homes are waiting for too many dogs and cats.

The Solution…

Spay/Neuter your pet!

All potential adopters must first complete an adoption application before being considered.

We would kindly ask that you call for an appointment before coming to meet our adoptable animals, so that someone is there to meet you.
