Since 1946, Nashville Humane Association has been a safe haven for at-risk, homeless and adoptable pets. NHA is a family of almost 60 staff and board members, along with hundreds of fosters, contributors, volunteers, and active supporters all dedicated to our mission of saving lives.
Nashville Humane Association is committed to finding responsible homes, controlling pet overpopulation, and promoting the humane treatment of animals, all while supporting pets and pet-families in our community.
About Us
As an entirely gift-based not-for-profit, Nashville Humane relies on contributions from supporters like you to do the work necessary to protect homeless, adoptable, and at-risk pets in Nashville, throughout middle Tennessee and across the globe.
Simply put, weâve been doing this a very long time. None of the amazing work that we perform daily for pets and their people would be possible without your support. Weâre not a government agency; we donât have the support of a giant national umbrella organization. Weâre a small, local shelter that is dedicated to saving lives.
Itâs because of your support that we will continue to rescue pets from hoarding cases, neglect and abuse cases, and puppy mills. Itâs because of your support that weâre able to provide disaster relief, and support urban and rural animal shelters and rescues. And, itâs because of your support that we will save thousands and thousands of lives every year, with a 99% save rate.
Voted Nashvilleâs âFavorite Place to Adoptâ year-over-year as well as our cityâs favorite charity events, award-winning programming, and so much more. We do it all for you. We are your neighborhood shelter. We are Nashville Humane Association.
