The Humane Society, Tennessee Valley is a standalone nonprofit animal shelter based in Knoxville, Tennessee, founded in 1885 as the longest-standing such facility in the state. It operates as a limited admissions 501(c)(3) organization and relies on private donations and grants rather than funding from national humane groups or government agencies. The organization provides animal adoption services for dogs and cats and offers lifesaving programs, including foster, volunteer, and outreach activities, aimed at transferring at-risk animals from other shelters in the Tennessee Valley region. It also runs a Pet Help Program designed to keep pets with their owners and out of area shelters, and operates a Wellness Clinic offering low-cost veterinary services to the public. During the pandemic, the shelter restricted services to appointment-based visits with mandatory masking in its facilities. Based in Knoxville, the organization emphasizes collaboration with neighboring shelters to support humane treatment of animals and improve outcomes for companion animals in its service area.
