Message from the Director:
I have been helping underprivileged pets and families in Clarksville & surrounding areas since 1998. I am the Executive Director for the HSCMC with a full-time volunteer schedule! My life in
rescue began in my mid-20’s after nearly hitting a Chow dog that was laying in the middle of the road. Someone had already hit him but never bothered to stop – they left him there to die. Sadly, his life did in fact end that night, but ironically enough, my life completely changed course. I have always believed that dog was put in my path for a reason and the gaze we shared before his passing will be forever etched in my brain. Nearly 15 years later, my passion for this “work” is as strong as ever. The HSCMC is a privately chartered 501(c)(3) organization that has been serving Clarksville-Montgomery Co. since 1968. We are not affiliated with nor funded by any national or local agencies – all of our funding is derived from fundraising, donations, and grants. The HSCMC reviews its programs & services annually to ensure we are utilizing all funding sources in the most fiscally responsible manner possible while ensuring our community is provided with an array of programs and services that promote responsible pet ownership and the rescue efforts of homeless animals. The HSCMC is the only organization in our community that focuses its efforts almost exclusively on PREVENTION… providing programs, services & education designed specifically to reduce overpopulation and euthanasia of healthy, adoptable pets in our community. We welcome you to become part of the HSCMC family… as a donor, volunteer, foster home, board member, Facebook supporter (be sure to LIKE us!), or in whatever capacity you are available. We are SO proud of the HSCMC and it’s accomplishments, but our work is never done and WE NEED YOUR SUPPORT!
