NOT READY TO ADOPT? THEN FOSTER!

Adopting a pet is a big commitment. And some situations don't accommodate being a full-time pet owner. Being a foster is an awesome way to save lives!  Here are MACC's foster opportunities:
​


​​​KITTEN FOSTERS

​During the busy spring and summer months, or what we call “Kitten Season,” there’s always a need for Kitten Fosters!  Kittens need about 2 to 4 weeks in foster to grow big enough for the adoption floor!  You just need a bathroom or space for a pop-up crate to keep your kittens cozy. All medical care is provided through MACC.


​FOSTER ROSTER

​Got room for a pup for a week or so? Then join our Foster Roster! Working with Foster Dogs Incorporated, MACC has a unique foster program that connects foster families with shelter animals.
​

​​​BOW WOW BREAKOUTS

This short-term foster opportunity gives the dogs a break from the shelter, from a few hours to a few days! Volunteers help the shelter learn more about the pets' personalities that will allow them to be matched to their forever home. 

Complete the foster application and call MACC at 615-862-7928 or email foster.macc@nashville.gov to find out more!
