Humane Society of Sumner County
Our Mission
The Humane Society of Sumner County (HSSC) is dedicated to promoting the humane treatment of lost, abandoned, and displaced animals. We work tirelessly to provide a safe haven for those in need while advocating for the responsible care of companion animals in our community.
Serving Our Community Since 1974
For over five decades, we have proudly served as a private, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization. We are not a government agency or local animal control, and we operate independently through the generosity of our supporters. Our long history is built on a foundation of community compassion and a commitment to animal welfare.
A Dedicated Haven for Animals
As a no-kill facility, we prioritize the well-being of every animal that enters our care by providing temporary shelter, necessary medical attention, vaccinations, and sterilization. We believe in being transparent about our capacity, which is why we carefully manage our occupancy to ensure every resident receives the attention they deserve. Our team and dedicated board members work together to maintain a professional environment where animals can wait comfortably for their forever families.
Your Partner in Adoption
Finding a new furry family member is a joyful and significant life event. Our adoption staff is committed to joining responsible, loving individuals with animals that are the perfect fit for their lifestyle. We invite you to visit our adoption center to meet our wonderful cats and dogs, and we encourage you to spend time getting to know them. Through thoughtful matching, we help create lasting bonds that enrich both human and animal lives.
Take the Next Step
Are you ready to welcome a new companion into your life? We invite you to explore our available animals online or visit our Hendersonville shelter Tuesday through Saturday to see who is waiting for you. Come by to meet our adoptable pets and see how you can make a difference in the life of a homeless animal today.
