The McMinn Regional Humane Society (MRHS), in close cooperation with the City of Athens Animal Shelter, helps provide loving care for thousands of homeless animals every year from the city of Athens and McMinn County. This could not be possible without dedicated MRHS volunteers, wonderful support from the City of Athens Animal Shelter staff and people like you who help support our efforts. For more information about the MRHS, including contacts, hours, and location, and helping us, visit our About Us section.
Find a Friend for Life
If you are looking for a great pet to adopt, visit our Adopt a Pet search page. The shelter has many animals always available for adoption. Many but not all of the animals at the shelter are on this website. We update our website approximately once a week and we also post photos of the shelter animals at Wal-Mart's pet section in Athens, Tennessee.
Once you find an animal that you like, or if you want to see if there are any recent camera-shy additions, please visit the shelter or contact an MRHS volunteer at the shelter (423.744.9548) or email us at mrhumane@gmail.com for more information.
