The Humane Society of the Tennessee Valley (HSTV) is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. HSTV is solely funded by private donations and grants. HSTV does not serve any government contracts nor receive any funding through tax revenues. HSTV works with, yet is not affiliated with, other animal welfare organizations including Young-Williams Animal Center and other municipal shelters.
The Humane Society of the Tennessee Valley was founded in 1885, nine years after ASPCA was charted in New York City. We originally operated as The Knox County Humane Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and Animals. In 1996, the name was changed to Humane Society of the Tennessee Valley to represent the organization’s large service area. In 2001, HSTV changed its mission statement declaring itself a no-kill facility.

Defining No-Kill: HSTV is a no-kill organization as defined by NoKillNation, Maddie’s Fund and Best Friends’ Animal Society. These groups collectively define no-kill as: Saving both healthy and treatable dogs and cats, with euthanasia reserved only for unhealthy and untreatable animals.
Unhealthy and untreatable animals are defined as:
an animal having a behavioral or temperamental characteristic that poses a health or safety risk, and is not likely to become healthy or treatable even if given the care provided by reasonable and caring pet owners in the community.
an animal suffering from a disease, injury, or congenital or hereditary condition that adversely affects the animal’s health or is likely to adversely affect the animal’s health in the future, and is not likely to become “healthy” or “treatable” even if provided the care typically provided to pets by reasonable and caring pet owners in the community.
Defining Adoptable Animals:
animals eight weeks of age or older.
have manifested no sign of a behavioral or temperamental defect that could pose a health or safety risk or otherwise make the animal unsuitable for placement as a pet.
have manifested no sign of disease, injury, or congenital or hereditary condition that adversely affects the health of the animal or that is likely to adversely affect the animal’s health in the future.
