Nashville Humane Association is one of the oldest service organizations in Nashville. The roots of NHA can be traced back to a society founded in 1887 to protect children from inhumane working conditions and draft horses from mistreatment. This non-profit organization was incorporated in 1946 to protect the well being of animals in Davidson County. Nashville Humane Association is committed to: promoting humane treatment of animals, finding good homes for stray or abandoned dogs and cats, educating the public about their responsibility to help control the pet population, and providing treatment and care to ensure the well being of animals in our community. This mission is carried out through the following services and activities: Humane Education Association personnel travel throughout Davidson County to teach responsible pet ownership and humane treatment for all living creatures. Tours of our facility are available for any interested group. Volunteer participation plays a vital role in the provision of Nashville Humane Association services. Volunteers work as kennel aids, foster caregivers, and humane educators and provide event assistance. Community volunteers foster in the homes sick and injured pets that require a nurturing environment. Foster animals are retuned as healthy, well-adjusted pets for placement in the adoption program.
