Humane Society of the Tennessee Valley

The Brothers of the Tennessee Epsilon Chapter present our week-long philanthropy fundraiser in support of the Humane Society of the Tennessee Valley. The Humane Society of the Tennessee Valley was founded here in Knoxville, TN in 1885 by six gentleman who wished to provide support to animals in the Greater Knoxville area. They are the longest standing animal shelter in the state of Tennessee and has relations with nearly 60 shelters in Tennessee, Georgia, and Kentucky. Nearly 140 years later, their mission remains the same; to provide support and help to animals in need. Since 2001, the Humane Society of the Tennessee Valley has helped over 20,000 dogs and cats to find new loving homes. By supporting our fundraising efforts, we can provide the Humane Society with the resources it needs to continue their mission. 100% of your donation will be going towards the Humane Society as we all join the fight to provide support and help to animals in need in the Knoxville area. The Tennessee Epsilon Chapter thanks you for your support as we further on our philanthropic efforts to support the Humane Society of the Tennessee Valley.

Who We Are

As students at the University of Tennessee, we were tasked to partner with a nonprofit organization to raise money for them. We chose to partner with the Humane Society of the Tennessee Valley. We are very passionate about this organization because we feel that every animal deserves care and a good home, and we are advocating for those who cannot advocate for themselves. We want to raise money to provide care for neglected animals in the Knoxville Area.

The Humane Society of the Tennessee Valley is, “A stand-alone 501c(3) limited admissions animal shelter, Humane Society, Tennessee Valley receives no funding from national humane entities or government agencies; relying solely on private donations and grant funding.” They take animals from other shelters to help in case of natural disasters, overflow, or lack of supplies. The Humane Society of the Tennessee Valley also has a wellness clinic.

What We Need

Through this project we are hoping to raise $1000 for the Humane Society of the Tennessee Valley to provide medical supplies for the animals in the shelter. Most treatments for cats and dogs are very expensive . They are looking to receive antibiotics, banadages, and equipment for their wellness clinic. With your help, we are hoping to raise over $1000 so that we can provide aid to these animals.

How It Helps

By helping to reduce the number of homeless dogs, the Knoxville community has bonded together to form a united effort against animal abandonment. With stray animals posing a high risk of disease, animal-human conflict, and local wildlife, it is paramount that we reduce the number of roaming animals to better the streets of Knoxville. With a 98% lifesaving rate, 765 animals put into loving homes, and 2004 total animals impacted in 2022 alone, The Humane Society of the Tennessee Valley can be trusted to lead this charge.
