Help give us a huge thank you to our friends at The Clique for animals for their recent generous donation to ChainFree! Their donation makes it pawsible to help dogs like Papa break their chains and get into fences. Check out their thrift store in Madisonville if you are ever in the area, as they support many animal welfare organizations in East TN ❤️🐾❤️!

We were more than happy to have some helping hands from our friends ChainFree Cocke County to move a fence from Knox County for a dog in our program 🐾. We hope to do more fences in Cocke County with their ChainFree group! If you would like to volunteer in Cocke County or know of an address of someone who needs assistance in Cocke County, please send a PM!

We pregamed today with a fence build for Papa! Such a sweet boy who now has access to the deck and below the deck, which he loves! We were thrilled to be able to give this big gentle giant a safe space to be chainfree. His mom even helped lend a hand and wants to volunteer in the future! A big thanks to everyone who made this build pawsible!
Happy Tails, Papa! 🐾

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! 🐾
