Changing Their Future

Starts With You


Changing the Future of Chained Dogs in Our Community

ChainFree Chattanooga is a judgment-free organization that was formed in response to the hundreds of chained dogs in our community. We are a grassroots organization with a heart and passion for eliminating the practice of continuous tethering by building free enclosures for dogs currently tethered or in small pens.

Our goal is to do more than put a band-aid on an ongoing problem – we are passionate about making real and lasting changes.
