As some of you may already know, Agape’s founder and executive director, Tanya Willis, was injured in a horseback-riding incident a few weeks ago. While she is on the mend and in great spirits, her recovery will involve multiple surgeries and a 9-12 month recovery period. With Tanya’s full support, we are in search of an interim Executive Director to help lead Agape’s important work in the rescue community.

To do this well, and to be able to throw the bigger and better Agape Animal Ball we have planned to celebrate our 20th Anniversary, we have decided it is best to postpone the ball until we can give it the attention our wonderful community deserves.

We have 3 options for current ticket holders/event sponsors:

1. Let us know you’re still with us, and we’ll let you know as soon as we have the new date secured.

2. Contact [email protected] for a full refund.

3. Change your ticket purchase or sponsorship into a general donation to help support Agape through this challenge and transition by contacting [email protected].

Auction donors are being contacted directly by committee members to discuss next steps.

We appreciate your support and understanding. Without you, Agape couldn’t have forever changed the lives of thousands of dogs and families for the better, and we still have a lot of work to do together. ❤️

📣🐾 Event Committee Member Announcement 📣🐾

Meet Suzan: Pittie Person, Mom to Bruce and Nutmeg (Pittie PR Team in training) 🥰❗

Suzan moved to TN from CA in 2022 with her husband Chris, and her two pit bulls, Bruce and Nutmeg (aka: Meg). She’s a very passionate pit bull advocate. Her dogs happily volunteer to be subjected to all kinds of special moments in the name of Pittie PR.

Last December Bruce became a tripawd due to cancer but that hasn't slowed him down. Meg is selective with who she will deign to acknowledge. Unless it's a kid. She loves kids. And they love her. Suzan stumbled into the Agape sphere when she met Jenny at an animal benefit. She poured out to Jenny about her broken heart for the plight of pit bulls - how misunderstood these delightful dogs are, and how shelters are disproportionately full of them.

Being part of this mission is an answer to her prayer that she could somehow do more for these animals' plight than just donate. It's an opportunity to be hands-on involved, and she’s looking forward to it 👏❗

Meet Tanya: Executive Director of Agape Animal Rescue and Training Center 🤩❗Mom to three daughters who are Agape volunteers in training ✅❗

Tanya Willis is the Executive Director of Agape Animal Rescue and has been tirelessly rescuing dogs since 2001. Tanya shares her passion with daughters McKenzie, Madelyn, and Marley who are currently Agape volunteers-in-training. Tanya’s passion for rescue was sparked by the discovery of a litter of Golden/Lab puppies abandoned in a ditch.

The runt of the litter (Mack) touched Tanya’s heart so completely that he soon found his place in her home. All of his siblings found forever homes as well. Due to Mack’s influence, Tanya began working with various animal rescues in and around Nashville.

In 2004, Agape was born after Tanya decided to forge ahead on her own with the knowledge she had gained as a volunteer👏❗
