Shelter FAQs

Happy Tales Humane is a privately funded 501(c)(3) no-kill animal shelter located in Franklin, Tennessee, about 15 miles south of Nashville. In 1996, our founder Marcy Payne fulfilled her vision to establish Tennessee's first no-kill animal shelter. At that time, Happy Tales operated as a virtual shelter housing all animals in dedicated foster homes. In 2000, Happy Tales opened a shelter for cats in The Factory at Franklin. We are dedicated to our mission of providing humane, no-kill options for homeless and neglected animals in Middle Tennessee.
All of Middle Tennessee and also serve as an Emergency Placement Partner for the Humane Society of the United States

Additional adoption info

All adopters are required to fill out either a cat or dog application. Once approved, we are able to finalize the adoption and typically the animal is able to go home with you the same day. See http://happytaleshumane.com/programs/ for our fees and application.
