Adopted

Meet Charlie. He is a middle aged Yorkie that seems to be great with everyone. He was surrendered due to a bite/nip. But we have not seen any of this behavior so far.

He does not mind being picked up or leashed. He does tend to hide but is very sweet once he's warmed up to you. He is 15 lbs and fully vetted. No small children recommended due to bite history.

Come by and meet him anytime Tuesday-Saturday 10-4pm.

When we decided to save these beautiful babies from being euthanized. I put my faith in our community, that they would step up to help socialize and show them some kindness. I see curiosity and a potential to trust everyday as they lift their head to sniff you or they no longer stiffen and shake uncontrollably. Imagine what they would be like with a calm home and one on one care !

These are 4 babies who have severe trauma, hundreds of people are commenting and feel bad for them but they need someone willing to put forth the effort. It will take time and compassion.

We can only do so much for them at our rescue. We depend on the kindness of others to give them a chance ! If you have time, a huge heart ❤️ and your okay with a dog that trusts no one. (They have never been given a reason to trust!) Please come by and meet them ! They are all under 10 lbs.

We had a GREAT! turn out for our dog wash today.

I want to thank all the people that came out and volunteer there time to make this the best dog wash and low cost vaccine clinic yet! We also want to thank our vendors/food trucks, Cake by the lake, The Crave hot dog & BBQ, Jodyn's barkery and Grace and Goodness for coming out !

Thank you to all the community for coming out to join us. I hope everyone was happy with our services and will come back year after year. These are done once in the summer and again in the fall!

We especially want to thank our Veterinarian who came out to donate his time to make the low cost rabies possible. Thank you Dr. Andrew!

Our Story

The Humane Society of Jefferson County is a private non-profit 501(c)3, limited intake, no-kill organization governed by a volunteer board of directors and dedicated staff. HSJC operates and relies exclusively on private donations and grants. As a private rescue, HSJC is able to assist other non-profit animal rescues/shelters in East Tennessee by transporting animals to our adoption center from their facility. This helps reduce over-crowding, stress, and sickness and allows more animals to find homes. HSJC hopes to continue growing with the help of donations and grants to continue providing humane treatment and care for animals of East Tennessee. Donations are greatly appreciated and are used to rescue, treat, transport, and enhance the quality of life for all animals in our care that are waiting for their forever homes.
