BEFORE YOU ADOPT A DOG
FROM THE HUMANE SOCIETY of KNOX COUNTY ...

We want you to know how hard we are trying
to make sure we place a healhty, safe dog with your family -
one that will provide years of pleasure and companionship.

All dogs in our care are heartworm tested and given heartworm preventive.
All dogs in our care are vaccined for distemper/parvo and rabies.
All dogs in our care are given a thorough physical exam, nail clipping, and ear cleaning.
All dogs in our care are given flea treatments and de-worming medicine.
All dogs in our care are spayed or neutered.

We do our best to ensure that we are making physically healthy dogs available for adoption.

Our work does not end here.
We also want to be sure to make behavior-safe dogs available
for adoption through a SAFER evaluation.
