Additional adoption info

The first step is to come into our adoption center at at 16 Volunteer Drive, Hendersonville, TN. We ask each potential adopter to submit an application in person at our center. After a brief interview to determine that the chosen animal is a good match for the adopting person or family, the adopter will sign an adoption contract and pay an adoption fee. Individual animals might have specific requirements or considerations.

About The Humane Society of Sumner County

We have been serving Sumner County as an adoption agency of homeless animals for 36 years. We are a nonprofit, 501c3 charitable organization and we rely on donor support. We frequently fundraise and we always accept donations, both monetary and of supplies! Volunteers who can help to socialize the animals and assist with fundraising events are needed, and foster homes for animals who are not yet ready for adoption are also needed.

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.
