Let's make our homeless animals our happiest pets.

​​Friends of MACC works directly with Metro Animal Care and Control (MACC), Nashville’s only open admission shelter that serves nearly 7,000 homeless animals each year. We focus on enriching the shelter environment for animals and people, supporting community programs, and promoting adoptions to help save Nashville’s homeless animals.

HAPPY ANIMALS

We are volunteers rallying
around MACC to enrich the lives
of homeless animals – and all animals – in our community.
Join us to walk dogs, foster
kittens, host events, and
​so much more.
