Our 100% Volunteer Team, works diligently in under-serviced Middle Tennessee neighborhoods to provide nonjudgmental assistance to families with dogs who are continuously chained/penned. One in six Americans lives in poverty in the US. Six out of ten households have pets. This means way too many pets are living in poverty as well. Most of these families are giving their dog everything they have to offer, which is not always enough. DDB Nashville is building relationships with people in these communities. We are educating families on proper care of their pets, as well as providing much needed supplies and medical care to keep the dogs healthy and happy. Our team offers free spay/neuter, vaccinations, wellness care, flea prevention, collars, basic obedience training and in many cases, a fence so the dog has a safe area in which to run free and enjoy life. For the families that decide they cannot offer their dog a better life, they surrender their dogs to DDB Nashville so we can rehabilitate the dog and find them a new, loving, forever home.
