Humane Society of Knoxville

The Humane Society of Knoxville is an organization dedicated to protecting and nurturing different neglected or abandoned animals: primarily dogs and cats. I actually had the opportunity to serve at the Humane Society during our Alternative Fall Break back in October. The Humane Society takes in these animals in need and provides them with food, water, shelter, and love. Volunteers can come in and just take the dogs outside to play with them, or they can assist in the upkeep of the shelter itself. I personally felt very connected to the Humane society because I have both a cat and a dog of my own that we rescued from a similar animal shelter in Memphis. The Humane Society of Knoxville is a great organization with an impressive mission and a variety of volunteer opportunities.
