     Hello, everyone! Today, we're excited to share something special happening in Tennessee - Tennessee Sfw Furs. Unlike some other furry groups, we're a family-friendly community dedicated to creating a positive and safe environment for individuals aged 16 and above.

Our mission is clear:

"To build a welcoming, inclusive furry community in Tennessee where safety, respect, and fun go paw-in-paw."

     You might be wondering why Tennessee needed another furry group. Here's the deal - while other groups are doing their thing, we spotted a gap that needed filling. We wanted to create something different: a space where both younger and older furs could hang out without worrying about NSFW content or feeling uncomfortable

What makes us different:

  • Family-friendly environment - keeping things clean and comfy for everyone

  • Weekly events across the state - from Memphis to Mountain City

  • Woman-owned leadership - bringing a fresh perspective to the furry scene

  • Consistent, new stories on our 

  • Safety-first approach - because everyone deserves to feel secure while having fun

     The Tennessee furry scene is growing rapidly, and we're here to ensure it develops positively. Whether you're an experienced fur or simply curious about exploring the community, we're creating something meaningful here - a space where everyone can be their true selves while showing respect towards others.

For those interested in more about our journey, we invite you to explore our blog, where we share daily stories from the heart of our community. Our events range all over the state, from Nasvhille furries, to Knoxville furries, and West tennessee too!

Establishing a safe and inclusive furry community

    Tennessee SFW Furs stands out as a woman-owned  furry group, and the true largest Tn furry group dedicated to creating a welcoming space for all members of the community. Our leadership team brings a unique perspective, understanding the importance of safety and comfort for women, children, and marginalized groups within the fandom.

Our community rules

Our community rules are crystal clear:

  • Zero tolerance for discrimination or harassment

  • Respect for all identities, races, and orientations

  • Safe space guidelines enforced by dedicated moderators

  • Age-appropriate content and interactions for groups 16+

Our Commitment to Inclusivity

Our commitment to inclusivity includes:

The furry fandom thrives on diversity, creativity, and acceptance. Our group reflects these values through thoughtful leadership, clear boundaries, and a genuine commitment to making every member feel at home. Tennessee SFW Furs creates spaces where friendships bloom and everyone can be their authentic selves.

     Welcome to Tennessee SFW Furries ! We strive to be the most accepting and safe community of Tennessee! We have a zero creep policy, and only allow primarily sfw furs which promotes a non-sexual, and safe environment. Our Discord is 16+ but some of our meets are all ages, check out our events tabs to see all of our events. We also have an onsite forum available for us all to chat. 

     We founded this group as a remodel from our previous group made in 2022, that was disbanded due to a 23 year old member who was caught watching adult content in a video call group with a group of three 15 year old minors. We made this group with the pledge to NEVER allow such people to ever weasel in to our community again, and in such we have a zero tolerance rule on any creepy people, and its one strike and your gone when it comes to unwanted advances, or inappropriate conversations with any under 18 members that aren't appropriate for someone 16 or 17 years of age.

     The founder of this Tennessee furry community is located in Christiana, Tennessee, but we have events everywhere across Tennessee as well as several event managers! If You would like to become an event manager, or host a single event to see if you like it, contact a mod on our discord or feel free to fill out our event manager form on our jobs tab! Unlike our competitors, we offer friendly competition. We allow anyone who wants to share them, share free to enter events through our website, so long as you have a recommendation from a member our owner or managers have met irl, or if we have met you irl that works just as well.  If you want to share an event fill out our form on the event share form and we will get back to you soon for a quick background check!
