Clear the Kennels

On July 1, 2008 the Chattanooga Humane Educational Society will no longer provide sheltering services for the city of Chattanooga. They will receive approximately 8,000 less animals each year. Currently they receive up to 1,500 animals each month. That dropped to 300 on July 1st.

The HES will have a unique opportunity to never again have to make a difficult euthanasia decision for an adoptable animal. They will also be able to shift all of their energies from trying to intake and handle up to 100 animals a day to concentrating fully on adopting their animals both locally and nationally.

However, the Chattanooga HES needs your help. From July 1, 2008 until July 12, 2008 they will have a Clear the Kennels campaign to empty their shelter. Approved seniors age 62 or older will be able to adopt animals for free, while all other approved applicants will be able to adopt an animal for a $35.00 fee. They have a wonderful variety of animal breeds from purebred to wonderful mixed breeds.

Please help them Clear the Kennels. You can help by adopting an animal, telling a friend about this unique adoption opportunity, or donate to help offset the cost of an adoption. This is a very exciting time for their shelter. Their renovation projects are almost complete, and their cageless shelter will be finished in the next few months. They will now receive as many animals as they currently adopt each year.

Help the Chattanooga HES continue the fight to end euthanasia in Hamilton County and finally Get to Zero for lost, abused and abandoned animals in our community.
