Grainger County Humane Society

Connecting Pets and People

Our Mission is to rescue and find forever homes for unwanted dogs and cats; promote humane treatment; and help control the pet overpopulation.

About GCHS

The Grainger County Humane Society (GCHS) is a nonprofit organization formed in May 2001. In 2024, we placed over 330 cats, kittens, dog, and puppies into FURever homes. The annual operating expense for GCHS is approximately $105,000. Our efforts are funded by a combination of non-profit and corporate grants, donations from individuals and businesses, adoption fees, fundraisers and a small, but welcome amount from Grainger County, Blaine, Rutledge and Bean Station. All of our efforts are accomplished by a very small group of unpaid volunteers.
