Chattanooga's Humane Educational Society shelter is at maximum capacity for dogs, and they need your help.
They have had several emergency intakes as well as regularly scheduled owner surrenders and stray drop offs and have utilized every kennel and office space they have in their building.
Which means now would be a great time to adopt if you've been thinking about adding a new furry friend to your family.
They have some fantastic dogs awaiting forever homes -- you can view all available animals on their website at www.heschatt.org/adopt, and come in to meet the animals of your choice in person.
All adoptions include:
- Spay/neuter
- Age-appropriate vaccines
- Microchip
- Toys and 1 bag of pet food
- 30-day free subscription to Petcademy online pet training and behavioral help
Did you know that it costs approximately $30 a day to house and care for each shelter animal? Another way you can help if you cannot adopt at this time is to donate. As a nonprofit, HES relies on donations to fund their mission and continue to save animals in need. Learn how to help at www.heschatt.org/donation
