Marion County Humane Society
About Our Shelter
The Mission of the Marion County Humane Society is to humanely care for homeless pets, return them to their current owners, or adopt them to new loving homes. In addition we will educate the public about responsible pet ownership and the importance of spaying and neutering their pets.
The Marion County Humane Society was founded in November 1986 by a group of caring volunteers. After an agreement was made with the city, they began operating out of the former city dog pound. Through the years they have returned lost pets to their owners, added on to the old facility, educated the public of the importance of spaying and neutering and seen a major decline in the number of abandoned pets come into the shelter. The volunteers have placed over 5000 unwanted dogs and cats from the Knoxville and surrounding areas. In October 2000 the volunteers made a decision to close the MCHS because the facility had detireoted beyond repair. In June 2008 after raising over $230,000.00 the Marion County Humane Society opened the doors of their new facility. Come Meet our Pets
The Marion County Humane Society is open on Tuesdays Thursdays and Saturdays from 10am until 4pm.
Our Adoption Process
$85.00 for dogs/puppies which includes spaying/neutering, vaccinations, worming, and microchipping.
$65.00 for cats/kittens which includes spaying/neutering, vaccinations, worming, and microchipping. Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group. |
