About The Humane Society of Davidson County

For more than 40 years, the HSDC has worked to reduce the pet overpopulation problem and alleviate animal suffering. We have educated the public about the needs of animals and promoted laws that benefit animals. Over the years, we have prevented thousands of unwanted puppies and kittens from being born through our spay/neuter programs (over 15,000 surgeries), thereby working to reduce the serious problem of overpopulation. The Humane Society of Davidson County is a non-profit, no-kill volunteer organization dedicated to the welfare of animals.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

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.
