What We Do

Our Mission

ChainFree Chattanooga’s mission is to eliminate the practice of continuous tethering through the building of free enclosures for dogs currently tethered. We also work with dogs in very small pens.

We are a judgment-free organization that works with each owner to develop a solution that best fits their particular situation.

Each family in our program receives adequate dog houses with straw bedding, elevated beds, water and food buckets, “pooper scoopers”, durable and mentally engaging toys, treats, and other supplies as needed – all at no cost to the owner.

We are also working to provide the community with spay/neuter and educational services to prevent additional dogs from being permanently tethered in the future.

ChainFree Chattanooga doesn’t just want to put a band-aid on an ongoing problem – we are passionate about making real and lasting changes.
