Humane Society of Davidson County
Our Mission
We believe dogs and cats, as well as other creatures, should be treated with kindness and compassion. They feel pain. They hurt, both physically and emotionally, when neglected, abused, or even ignored.
We believe dogs and cats need companionship, and they thrive on positive attention from their owner.
We believe animals have feelings; they know joy and sadness, excitement and boredom, love and hate.
We believe pet ownership brings with it a responsibility to provide for the animal's needs, as well as the responsibility to see that pets do not add to the animal overpopulation problem.
We are willing to help in any way we can in order to improve the quality of animals' lives.
We are committed to the alleviation of animal suffering and to the education of the public in order that animals have the lives they deserve.
