Smith County Humane

Animal rescue in Carthage, TN

We are a small group of pet-loving individuals in Smith county, Tennessee. We are a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization as defined by the Internal Revenue Service. We care for these babies on a daily basis at our kennels and actively search for forever homes for them. Smith county does not have a government animal control function nor does it have a county animal shelter. SCH always has a waiting list for cats & dogs and does take the stray and abandoned although we are not required by state law as well as owner-surrendered pets.
