We're Hiring

The Monroe County Friends of Animals (MCFA) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) charitable organization located in Madisonville, TN. Our organization was created in 2004 by concerned citizens who recognized a dire need for animal welfare throughout Monroe County. At that time, there was no animal shelter, no place to go to adopt, no place to surrender animals that could no longer be cared for, and stray and abandoned animals were loose throughout the community. Twenty years later, in 2024, MCFA opened the Eastbourne Animal Center, and employs 8-10 part-time and full-time staff in addition to a large volunteer base.

We are seeking passionate, skilled professionals to join our Board of Directors and help shape the future of our organization. As a member of the Board, you will play a vital role in advancing our mission to provide for and continuously improve the health, happiness and fortunes of the homeless and abandoned cats and dogs in Monroe County.
