Mitchell, the Bristol Humane Society has a long history of promoting animal well-being. Ms. Mitchell served as president of Bristol Humane Society for many years and left a portion of her estate to support the cause, which contributed to the opening of the Margaret B. Mitchell Spay/Neuter Clinic in 2005, the first of its kind in Southwest Virginia and Northeast Tennessee. We perform over 14,000 surgeries each year and expanded our services to include low-cost vaccination clinics in 2015 and essential wellness care in 2022
