Donate to SCHS
The Sullivan County Humane Society is funded solely by donations from members in the community and corporate sponsors. We receive no local, state, or federal tax monies. Donations go towards our low/cost spay neuter program SNIP, humane education efforts, and adoption promotions in partnership with SBK Animal Centers in Kingsport and Blountville. SCHS is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization and all donations are 100% tax deductible.
Pet of the Week
Meet Gus! Gus is a 1 year old neutered male Treeing Walker Coonhound available for adoption at the SBK Animal Center in Kingsport. Gus found his way to the shelter when his owner had to move and was unable to take him with her. She was heartbroken, as was Gus. Gus's mom told the shelter that he is a great indoor dog. He is housebroken and knows many commands. He is friendly with dogs and cats alike. Adoption fees cover spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations and one month's complimentary pet insurance. Stop by the shelter on Idle Hour Rd. to meet Gus and all the adoptable animals. Shelter animals make the best pets!
