Make a dogs weekend! Take a dog on a bow-wow breakout and let them spend time chilling at home, walking on the greenway, or whatever other fun event you can think of! A bow-wow breakout helps our dogs get a break from the kennel and introduces them to new people, environments, and new experiences...and it helps them get adopted!
This is the volunteering option for you if you need a small amount of hours!
Available 12-4pm 7 days a week. All dogs must return to the shelter by 4pm.
If you do keep the dog at your residence overnight the maximum number of service hours you can receive will be 8 hours per day.
No dogs are allowed overnights at any campus housing. If you live off-campus you MUST provide MACC staff written permission from your landlord that dogs are ok on the premises overnight.
Please complete the application Foster Application and a representative from Metro Animal Care and Control will reach out to you with the next steps!
Thanks for your interest!
**NOTE: Belmont, Fisk and Trevecca Universities, do NOT allow pets in on-campus housing. Fostering or keeping dogs overnight is only available to students who live off-campus and whose landlords allow pets. All students should verify with their landlords that pets are allowed before signing up to foster.
