People For Animals

Our Services

People For Animals is an all-volunteer nonprofit serving Middle Tennessee since 1986. Our core mission is reducing pet overpopulation through spay/neuter assistance — and supporting pet owners and their communities with education and resources.

Spay/Neuter Financial Assistance

PFA's primary service is helping pet owners who need financial assistance to spay or neuter their cats and dogs. We work with participating veterinary clinics in 8 Middle Tennessee counties.

To find out if you qualify, call the PFA hotline at 615-794-8925 and leave a message. Lawrence County residents call 931-852-4907. A volunteer will return your call.

Community Education

PFA educates the public about the importance of spaying and neutering, responsible pet ownership, and the benefits of adopting from shelters and rescues rather than purchasing from breeders or pet stores.
