Humane Society of Jefferson County

Our goal is to offer all companion animals in need in Jefferson County, Tennessee with compassionate care and successful outcomes by making use of all available resources. We will work to establish connections with animal allies and activists, proactively and impartially educate our neighborhood, and tenaciously battle to speak up for those who are unable to do so. ​

Friends of the Animal Shelter's mission is to comfort, care for, and shelter lost, abandoned, and unwanted animals. It also includes coordinating spay/neuter and other medical services for companion animals, offering programs and education to help reduce animal overpopulation, and helping homeless and neglected companion animals find loving homes.

The Sevier County, Sevierville, Pittman Center, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg areas of Tennessee are served by the non-profit, publicly operated Sevier Animal Care Center in Sevierville.

Through animal law enforcement, pet wellness programs, sheltering, pet placement programs, and pet overpopulation prevention through sterilization and education, Newport Animal Control promotes public safety and animal care.

The MHHS is working toward a 92% saving rate target. To achieve no kill by 2025, we are collaborating with Best Friends and other shelters across the nation.

The Sevier County Humane Society's objective is to promote animal welfare, enhance the quality of life for animals, and end animal homelessness and suffering through outreach, spay/neuter services, and adoption programs.
