Pet Placement Center

Mission: To reduce animal suffering by promoting diligent animal care through education and example; to find responsible homes for animals in need; to promote spaying or neutering to reduce overpopulation; to emphasize responsible guardianship.

The Tennessee Humane Animal League (THAL) is a 501(c)3 organization devoted to the placement of homeless or surrendered dogs and cats through The Pet Placement Center (PPC). The original intent of PPC when it was formed in 1983 was to help the homeless dogs and cats housed at the now closed Red Bank Animal Shelter. Now PPC is the oldest no-kill animal adoption center with a physical shelter facility in Hamilton County, Tennessee. We survive entirely on donations and fundraising activities. PPC is a private adoption center and does not contract with any municipal entity. Once an animal comes to PPC, that animal will remain safe with us until adopted into a responsible, permanent home.

All of our cats and dogs go home spay/neutered, rabies, vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped. We make sure animals are safe in our shelter and are ready to go home safely with their new owners.
