Changing the Future of Chained Dogs in Our Community

We are ChainFree Chattanooga, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, judgment-free organization whose mission is to build fences for dogs who are continuously tethered or confined in small pens. In partnership with Heritage Fence & Repair, we work to provide safer, more humane spaces for dogs to live and play.

Each family in our program receives spaying/neutering services, fencing installation, and shelter – all at no cost to the owner.

We believe that keeping dogs with families who love them is better than adding to our community’s overburdened shelter system.

Our goal is to do more than put a band-aid on an ongoing problem – we are passionate about making real and lasting changes that improve the quality of life for dogs in our community.
