McKamey Animal Center

Welcome to McKamey Animal Center (MAC), where our mission of "Saving Animals, Helping People" has been at the heart of our work since we opened in 2008. Located in Chattanooga, Tennessee, we are dedicated to fostering a community where animals are valued, protected, and free from cruelty and neglect. At MAC, we believe in the power of compassionate care and community engagement. Our vision is to eliminate animal overpopulation through advocacy and education, providing vital support for both pets and their owners. Each year, nearly 5,000 animals find shelter, compassion, and hope within our walls, complemented by an array of community services such as low-cost vaccine clinics and spay/neuter assistance. Our life-saving programs not only focus on rescuing animals but also empower individuals to make a difference through volunteering, fostering, and advocacy. If you share our belief in the kind and respectful treatment of all animals, we invite you to join our dedicated team and get involved in various meaningful ways. By adopting a pet from MAC, you're not just gaining a new companion; you're also becoming part of a movement to ensure that all animals receive the care and protection they deserve. With various adoption specials and events, including our popular Slumber Pawties and community outreach programs, there are endless opportunities to help save lives. Discover how you can make an impact today—whether it's through adoption, volunteering, or donating. Together, we can continue to foster a culture of humane treatment for all animals and bring hope to those in need. Interested in learning more?
