HHS is a non-profit organization dedicated to the rescue of sick, injured, and homeless animals in Hickman County.

Our Mission is to protect and improve the lives of dogs and cats by providing shelter, care, adoption, rescue, spay/neuter programs, and community education.

Our Vision is to end pet overpopulation and to create a community where every dog and cat is treated with respect and compassion and has a permanent and loving home.

​

The Hickman Humane Society (HHS) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, no-kill organization that has served Centerville and its surrounding areas since 1994 by a small group of volunteers who serve to provide animal welfare in Hickman County Tennessee. The HHS shelters, medically treats, and rehabilitates Hundreds of dogs and cats every year. Many of the dogs and cats in our care have been abused, injured, surrendered by their owners, or found as strays. As a no-kill organization, every treatable pet in our care stays in our care until they find a home or necessary placement with another no-kill organization. No pet in our care is ever euthanized to create space. Thousands of dogs and cats in Centerville and its surrounding areas are saved from euthanasia every year due to the mission and practices of the HHS.

​

Through our adoption, volunteer, foster, spay/neuter, and educational programs, we inform and educate the public on the importance of responsible pet ownership. We serve as one of the largest dog and cat adoption organizations in Hickman County, Tennessee, helping to decrease the community’s large pet overpopulation problem in a humane manner. As a local nonprofit, we are not affiliated with the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS). We do not receive funding from the federal government, the HSUS, or the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA).
