Tomorrow is the day! 🎉🐾 Join us tomorrow, Tuesday, June 2nd at 4 PM as we celebrate over 140 years of saving lives and the grand opening of our low-cost PetHelp Clinic! ❤️

We're honored to be joined by the Farragut West Knox Chamber of Commerce and the Knoxville Chamber for an official Ribbon Cutting - 140th Anniversary ceremony as we mark this exciting milestone.

This celebration represents not only more than a century of compassion and care for animals, but also our commitment to making pet care more accessible for families throughout our community. 🐶❤️🐱

Come celebrate with us, tour the clinic, meet some of our adorable adoptable pets, and maybe even find your new best friend! 🥰

We can't wait to see everyone tomorrow as we celebrate our past, our future, and the resources that will help keep pets healthy and with the families who love them.

It takes a village to save lives, and we are so thankful for ours. ❤️🐾

Many people are surprised by how much we’re able to accomplish with the resources we have. We couldn’t do it without our community. Whether you donate, volunteer, foster, share our posts, or simply cheer us on, you are a part of every second chance we give.

Thank you for helping us continue this lifesaving work every single day.

We're going to be honest with y'all: Max is a quirky and sensitive weirdo🙃
You won't be able to pet him the first time you meet him, and honestly maybe not even the second time, but once he trusts you - you will have the most loving and loyal lap dog you could ever imagine. 🥹
Max has been in foster for almost six months and has made SO many improvements, but strangers are still far from his favorite thing. When Max is cozy in a home, he acts more like a 30lb cat - laying in sunbeams most of the day, avoiding getting his feet wet, being a total cheese snob, and initially a little aloof. While he is not a fan of strangers, and needs some time to decide it is safe to trust, he is secretly best friend material--and once he knows you are trustworthy and kind, there is no going back! ❤
We know it will be tough to find the right place for our loveable weirdo, but he is so deserving of a loving home to call his own. If you have the heart and patience to truly save a life, please reach out about Max! He is full of love and wants to give it, he just needs to trust you first 🥰
Thank you to his incredible foster, Deb, for opening her home to Max for such a long time and for working constantly on his training, bringing him to adoption events, and doing everything possible to find Max the life he deserves. We are so grateful to your dedication and can never thank you enough for all you do! 😍

🚨REDUCED ADOPTION FEES🚨
Want to know a statistic that breaks our hearts? Animals with black fur wait 4 times longer to get adopted than animals with more “interesting” coats. 💔
Having a black coat makes it harder for these sweet souls to standout in their kennel, which means they are constantly overlooked and seen as shadows. We know they are more than shadows and are just as deserving of a safe, loving home as their friends with different coats 🐶💕
All of the dogs pictured here are available for adoption and have $50 off their adoption fee! Come meet these beautiful babies and show them that their lives matter too. You may walk out with your new best friend!! ♥️🐾

05/21/2026

Yesterday may have been National Rescue Dog Day on the calendar… but EVERY DAY is Rescue Dog Day here at Humane Society, Tennessee Valley 🐶♥️🐾
We asked our staff who their favorites are and we honestly aren’t surprised by their answers! Each of these incredible dogs has stolen our hearts and they are all deserving of a loving home to call their own🥹
Come in and meet them and see which is the right fit to add to your family! We will be open open Friday and Saturday from 11am-6pm 💖

Last week marked the end of the school year for Tennessee Schools for the Deaf CAP students! We’re especially celebrating Brady and Nolan as they graduate — we will miss them dearly and are so proud of all they’ve accomplished. 🏆🐾
Thank you for all of your hard work and dedication this year. We can’t wait to welcome the rest of our students back in August for another great year! 🥰
