Donate & Make a Difference
Pet Placement Center (PPC) is the oldest, no-kill animal shelter in Chattanooga We were formed under Tennessee Humane Animal League in 1983, officially incorporated as a non-profit in 1984, and have been serving the community from our current location as PPC since 1993
We are private 501(c)3 that does not contract with any local municipal entities and do not receive any government funding.
PPC provides safety and shelter for every dog and cat in our care. Each animal is dewormed, microchipped, vaccinated, spayed/neutered,
and given flea/tick preventative. Dogs are tested for Heartworms and given a monthly preventative, cats are tested for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus)
and FeLV (Feline Leukemia Virus) and all long term animals receive yearly checkups to keep them at peak health.
Along with daily care and typical building maintenance, PPC has several other specific funds that you can support directly.
