Appalachian Highlands Humane Society Animal rescue in Johnson City, TN

Appalachian Highlands Humane Society, former known as The Humane Society of Washington County, was primarily an organization that provided spay and neuter funding for low income families. Spay and neutering is still at the front of our organization but we have also incorporated fostering and adoptions of animals. We are committed to see our community to become a no kill community. Our organization is not funded by local government, we rely only on spay neuter grants and fund raising. To continue to grow, we need donations for our programs and those links are available on our website under giving. We also need volunteers. The volunteer application is also available on our website. Working together we will become a no kill community. Please visit our website, www.ahumanesociety.org for more information.
