    Animal Shelters in Chattanooga, TN

    Chattanooga has 14 listed animal shelters and rescue organizations, in Hamilton County. The mix is fairly even between animal shelters and rescue organizations. Chattanooga, FL and Lupton City, both within about four miles, have listings of their own. Between them there are dogs and cats of every age and size in Chattanooga, and the right one is rarely the one you set out looking for.

    Chattanooga has 14 listed at the moment, and they are shown above with the ones that have photos first. Open any of them for the full address, contact details and opening hours.

    A mix of both, and the difference is worth knowing before you set out. A rescue usually places animals from a network of foster homes rather than from premises you can walk into, so you generally arrange a meeting first. A shelter or humane society more often has a facility you can visit during opening hours.

    The Chattanooga listings all fall in Hamilton County, which is worth knowing if you are checking whether a shelter takes animals from your area.

    If nothing here suits, Chattanooga, Lupton City and East Ridge all have listings within about four miles. Each one links through from the sidebar.

    Most listings here carry a phone number, and most link to the organization's own website. Calling ahead is worth it — opening hours change, and rescues often work by appointment rather than keeping a building open.
