We were beyond thrilled to build another fence in Anderson County for Mue Mue! This sweet boy was on a 20 foot trolley system prior to joining the ChainFree fam. His owner was nice enough to volunteer with us, which we loved! Just check out the love and tail wags he’s giving to our GOAT volunteer, Terry!! Also known to Mue Mue as treat lady 😉.

A big thank you to our volunteers and donors who made this build pawsible! If you’d like to be added to our volunteer list OR know of a chained dog in a surrounding county, please send us a PM!

Happy Tails, Mue Mue! 🐾

Let’s all welcome Nala, Tofu and Elias to ChainFree! A huge thank you to our friends for sponsoring this build❤️. We also partnered up with Pets for Life program, who covered the spay/neuter and brought some volunteers to assist! Most of the photos you see were taken by our friend Brooke Arnold. Amazing things can be done when multiple organizations and community volunteers work together! A big thank you to everyone who made this build pawsible!

Who needs a free Saturday morning with no fences to build? Not this crew!

A big shoutout to Brett, Lauren, Kelley, Cindy, Don, Terry, Melissa and Terri for trading weekend down time for drills, hard work and happy ChainFree dogs. These pups now have working canopies that provide much needed shade!

You all are paws-itively amazing- thank you for making a difference!❤️🐶

No more side eyeing flies like this for Rufus!! A big thank you to our friends at The Clique for animals for their recent generous donation! Thanks to their support, we were able to deliver much needed fly traps to the dogs in our program. Check out their thrift store in Madisonville if you are ever in the area, as they support many animal welfare organizations in East TN ❤️🐾❤️

Would you like to be part of a happy ending? No prior experience required! ChainFree is taking on our largest fence build yet. We will be building two fences for TEN dogs in Bean Station this Saturday at 9:30 AM. We know it’s a bit of a drive from Knoxville, but we could use some more helping hands.
