Decatur County Humane Association - CT Chapter

We are a small, all volunteer, non-profit 501(c)(3) that rescues dogs in Tennessee and transports them to the Northeast as we find good adopters. We do this because there are SO MANYunwanted animals due to the lack of stringent Spay/Neuter Laws in Tennessee.

Our organization believes that spaying and neutering is the most effective and humane way of controlling our pet overpopulation because there are not enough homes for all of the unwanted litters. We offer a low cost Spay/Neuter services to our residents to assist in controlling the animal population.

Our goal is to save the precious lives through Rescue, Adoption and Spay/Neuter.

Our Motto is to Lend a Helping Hand to Those Without a Voice.

Additional adoption info

Prior to adoption all animals will have been spayed/neutered, quarantined for at least two weeks, made current on their immunizations (includes rabies if they’re old enough), dewormed (for tapes, hooks, rounds and whips) and started on heartworm preventive (dependent upon age). If they're over 6 months of age, they will be tested for heartworm and must be negative to be available for adoption. The adopter will receive a copy of their health record and Interstate Health Certificate.

Adoption Fee: $350 (unless stated differently in the listing). (This includes the $150 transport fee and the extra vetting required for transport.)
