Task Force Team 2025
Join Our Tennessee Task Force Team 2025
In 2025 THE SPCA of Tennessee will be forming a Task Force Team. This team will consist or volunteers of experienced folks, veterinarians, vet techs, groomers, a PIO, and other dog/cat handlers. This will be very similar to like our friends of Animal Rescue Corps. & Guardians of Rescue. This task force will ONLY deploy within the state of Tennessee. We are at the point we need more teams like this as the need increases. I have 28 year of experience using the Incident Command System which we will use. We will send out an application for those who are seriously interested. You'll need to be available to deploy in 48-72 hours. The SPCA of Tennessee will be partner with rescues law enforcement and other agencies.

Welcome to The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals of Tennessee
Hello Animal Lovers –
The SPCA of Tennessee is a 501c3 nonprofit organization Our Tax ID # 20-395-0443
that helps abused and abandoned animals. This has been our purpose and passion since 2005 and I created it to give a voice to the voiceless. Since then, we have helped more than over 17,000 animals in need.
We wanted to clarify that we have no affiliation with the ASPCA. We do not receive any funding from them or the State of Tennessee.
We do not have a building or a site. Our rescued animals are cared for by local fosters.
We do not have a vet or any paid staff. We are fully volunteer-based and are 100% funded by donations, adoptions fees, and grants.
All adoption fee goes directly to help animals in need, including food and supplies, spay/neutering, and other vet services. We do not profit from any fees or donations. The costs to caring for our animals often far exceeds what we receive in fees and donations.
We receive more than 50 calls a day from people looking to surrender their pet or found a stray and need help. I’m usually the only one answering these calls for us. Most days it is too much for me and seems hopeless and never ending. I keep going because I believe I’m called to do this.
But I need your help. We are in desperate need of monetary donations, food, blankets, treats, and crates. All donations are tax deductible. You can also volunteer with us. We need adopters and fosters. You can also help us with our website and social media and help photograph our animals to increase their chances of adoption. We can always use you!

Our mission
LET'S MAKE TENNESSEE STRONGER! LET'S MAKE A DIFFERENCE!
The SPCA of Tennessee is a 501(c)3 non profit organization that was founded 20 years ago. It is a foster based rescue that is run primarily by volunteers. All our efforts are dedicated to all animals in need no matter the situation they come in our program.
Regardless of the cost of the pet we provide medical treatment recommended by our vets. Hillsboro Animal Hospital is one of our main primary veterinary clinics, Dr. Ladd has been amazing in taking care of our SPCA dogs.
We rely on monthly donations and adoption fees to continue our work in the State- It is so important that whether you are able to donate time, supplies or monetary contributions we really appreciate it. Every dollar that we received is a dollar that we didn't have.
Without your help we could not do what we do everyday -helping all of the amazing animals we saved, it is what we love to do. Your donation helps us to pay for animal care and medical cost.
We try to help the 96 counties and try to be supportive to shelters and help them get animals adopted. Our work never ends, but we love what we do.
Thank you for supporting The SPCA of Tennessee!

Additional Information
Rescue is giving them a second chance, to be loved and care for. Bringing a new family member into your house requires a lot of dedication and patience. We believe before a family is looking to add a new furry friend into their life, they will need to read about the breed and temperament of the dog. They are specific groups: The Herding group, The Hound group, The sporting group, The Terrier group, The Toy group, The Working group. Each of these groups have specific behavior that only a trainer that will be able to assist you understanding their body language. We have partnered with Esther Kelly, the Pet Smart trainer at Cool Springs, to be able to teach new owners how to deal with certain behaviors and fixe them before they decide they can't do this anymore and they are finding a new home for the dog they thought It was the best dog for them.
