Adoptable Pets at Pet Placement Center

Shelter FAQs

The Pet Placement Center not only saves animals to adopt to good homes, but also works with local rescuers to assist with the trap-neuter-release of feral cat colonies. We also provide pet food, litter, and other supplies for low income pet owners & other rescue organizations in need.
The Tennessee Humane Animal League is a 501(c)3 organization devoted to the placement of homeless or surrendered animals through The Pet Placement Center (PPC). The PPC survives entirely on donations and fundraising activities.

We are a no kill animal adoption center which means we have very limited space. Once an animal comes to the Pet Placement Center, it will remain with us until it is adopted into a responsible permanent home...so we often have to turn people away due to lack of space. The PPC is a private adoption center and does not do animal control or do animal pick ups.

We are located in Chattanooga area toward Soddy Daisy and near Highway 153.
