Our vision at the McKamey Animal Center is comprised of four main pillars focusing on spay/neuter, advocacy, enforcement and education.
Spay/neuter - Provide spay/neuter to all animals in our care. Future home of the McKamey Animal Center Chattaneuter Van. Beginning February 23, 2010, Tennessee has a new Spay Tennessee hotline. The toll free hotline number is 866-355-7729. The goal of the hotline is to give pet owners all over Tennessee a number to call to get a referral to a low-fee spay/neuter program or clinic in their area. The web site is www.spaytennessee.org. The hotline and the website are programs of the Humane Society of Putnam County and sponsored by Spay USA.
Advocacy - Be recognized, respected and trusted as the leading resource, advocate and educator on animal welfare issues in our region. We will rescue, provide shelter, heal and help find forever homes for animals in need.
Enforcement - Through education and leadership, we will work to improve local, regional, and state ordinances and laws that pertain to animals and animal care. Actively promote humane behavior, respect for animals and the public, and professionalism for Animal Services.
Education - Promote the humane care of animals by educating our volunteers and the community on spay/neuter, long term-pet care and owner responsibility while inspiring community action and compassion on behalf of animals.
