ChainFree Chattanooga

Meet Scooby, Freedom, and Max! These three were making the best of a tough situation, squeezed into a small kennel and finding every gap they could to dig their way out. Their family loved them deeply but needed help.
That's where our volunteers came in.
In one build day, 10 people showed up and changed everything for this little crew. New fence, new freedom, family stays together.

Meet Bear and Yeti - two huskies waiting for their fenced in yard to play in! We had three volunteers come out in February and fix their fence to ensure these guys have a secure parameter to run around in. They are living their best husky lives with dog houses, straw bedding and canopy cover. Want to help more dogs like Bear and Yeti? Check out chainfreechattanooga.com to learn more!

From crate confinement to yard goals. 🏡🐕Meet Bailey, Nala, Annabelle, Hoss, and Xena!
This pack of pups lived in a busy, full, multi generational household on a high-traffic road. They spent most of their days inside, in small crates.
Not anymore.
Our volunteers showed up, built a fence, and gave this whole crew (including three McKamey adoptees!) the outdoor life they deserved. The family’s reaction said it all. 💛
Every dog deserves a safe space to just be a dog.

Meet Lyla, Fatty, and Buddy, three sweet dogs who kept finding their way out of an incomplete fence. When HES got involved, we were contacted to help with the fix. A quick fence connect was all it took to give these pups safe, secure freedom and keep them home where they belong. 🐾🧡 This is what community looks like.

This Valentine’s Day was especially sweet for a special pup named Reba 🐾❤️ Our volunteers spent the morning building her a brand new fence so she can finally run, play, and feel safe in her own yard. There’s no better way to celebrate love than giving a pup the freedom she deserves. Want to help us spread more love by building fences and unchaining dogs in our community?

This is what freedom looks like. 🐕💨

In 2025, we built fences and broke chains ⛓️‍💥 These dogs (and more!) are living better lives, able to run safely in their fenced areas.

2026 planning is underway. Want to help us build more fences? Head over to chainfreechattanooga.com to learn more.

Every zoomie session is proof that this work matters. 💙

Charlie, Luna, and Principe are officially chain-free! ⛓️‍💥
On Saturday, we had the privilege of building a fence for these three beautiful dogs who were living on tethers in separate corners of their yard. Now they have the freedom to run, play, and be safe together.

Thanks to our friends at Heritage Fence & Repair, who brought their professional expertise and made this project run smoothly.

We connected with this family through La Paz Chattanooga vaccine clinic, and it’s a beautiful reminder that when local organizations work together, we can create real change for animals in our community. 💙

Three more dogs are living chain-free. Three more lives transformed.
