Pet Assistance Network We believe that pets are family, which is why we work so hard to keep families together with programs like our community pet food bank.

In today's tough economy, many families are struggling to make ends meet. They are being forced to make tough decisions concerning their furry family members - they either can't afford to feed them, or they're being forced to move into new homes where their pets are not welcomed. I formed the Pet Assistance Network in an effort to help prevent pets from being displaced from their loving homes and

families. The goal of PAN is to help these pet-loving families to keep their pets healthy and part of their families. We feel that we can help to curb the growing number of homeless and abandoned pets by helping pet owners KEEP their pets.

In Nashville, if you know people with animals who have no shelter, the only shelter in the city that accepts animals is the Metro Extreme Cold Weather Overflow Shelter, located at 3230 Brick Church Pike, allows pets. WeGo provides transportation support to the shelters. Shuttle transportation is also provided on shelter night from key stops across the city. Shuttle vans will transport riders to Music City Central so those needing shelter can ride bus number 23B to the shelter. 615-862-6391

Friends, we need your help to help someone who has escaped a Domestic Violence situation with their pets. Shelters do not allow pets, so they have nowhere safe to go. We are partnering with another small local non-profit to try to help them. The other organization was able to get them into a pet-friendly hotel for a few nights, but just like us, their resources (aka money) are limited. I cannot post any details about the pets or their person for their safety. We'd love to be able to extend their stay in the hotel while they regroup and figure out next steps.

BEWARE of fireworks residue! It is lethally toxic to pets and wildlife! During this 4th of July season of fireworks, please be extra cautious and keep an eye out for fireworks residue in your yards and on your walks. Carry an extra bag so you can pick up and properly dispose of anything you find, so that it won't be ingested by animals. We all know that not everyone will abide by their local laws and many will still set off their own fireworks. So, let's be extra vigilant in protecting our pets and wildlife. Wishing you all a safe and healthy Independence Day celebration this year! 🇺🇸🎆

I just wanted to take a moment to wish everyone Happy Holidays! I know it's been very quiet on this page over the past year. I have had a lot on my plate in my personal life over the past 16 months, so once Maiden, Damien and Rere were safely in forever homes, I had to take personal time for myself and my own dogs. Thank you for everyone's support in my mission to keep pets in their forever homes. Thankfully, there have been several other organizations in the Middle Tennessee area who have also seen the need for these types of programs and have been helping with this same mission. ❤️

January 17th - Betty White Day

I think it would be GREAT if on January 17, 2022 all Animal Shelters are flooded with donations in Ms. Betty White's name. That would be a WONDERFUL gesture for what would have been her 100th Birthday. America, please let's do this for her. We all know her love for animals and taking care of them was her life mission. Just a thought. LETS DO THIS!!! 🐾❤️🐾❤️

I have an EXCITING announcement! Maiden and Damien have found their forever home! This truly was the ONLY thing I wanted for Christmas was for these sweet bonded seniors to be adopted and in their forever home by Christmas! They have been with their new family for a week and adjusting well. They have three lovely ladies to dote on them and shower them with love for the rest of their lives. I know that their Daddy would be so happy that all of his babies are in loving forever homes for the holidays. I cannot thank you all enough for sharing the posts numerous times and helping me fulfill my promise to their dad. These babies are in a home because their new mom saw them posted every time her friend shared our posts and after many family discussions, they reached out to offer them a loving forever home. So, there truly is no such thing as over sharing! Sharing truly is caring! My sad tears for them and their dad have turned into happy tears for them and their wonderful new family! Merry Christmas! 💚❤️🎄🎅👨‍👩‍👦🐶🐶

Update: NASHVILLE, TN - We haven't received a single inquiry for these sweet senior babies! Please SHARE and help us get them into a forever home for the HOLIDAYS! They are BONDED, so they must be adopted TOGETHER! They had blood work, dentals, vaccinations and received stellar check up reports back in July, so we've already done the expensive senior vetting! They just need a loving forever home. We will consider sponsoring their future vet expenses if necessary! We just want them to be back in a loving forever home.

Meet MAIDEN and DAMIEN! Their owner passed away, leaving them homeless. We have been helping care for them for most of 2021 while he was ill. These sweethearts have been through a lot this year and they were being fostered separately, but not doing well. So, we moved them into a foster home where they can be together. But, this is a temporary setup and they REALLY need to be in a forever home. Since they are seniors, we need a quiet home for them with no small children. They've lived with a senior cat (who has already been adopted), so calm dog-friendly cats are fine. They vie for their person's attention, so best to have no other dogs in the home adding to that competition.

They are extremely low maintenance dogs that are still very healthy and active. They love to go for walks, but don't require lengthy energy draining walks... just a leisurely sniff about keeps them happy and healthy.

If you are interested in adopting Maiden and Damien, please email [email protected]

RERE UPDATE: His foster dad has decided to adopt him!

For those who are unfamiliar with Rere's story, he is a 17 year old kitty whose owner passed away after spending most of this year in the hospital, leaving Rere and his two senior dog siblings in need of a new forever home. Pet Assistance Network has been helping care for these babies with pet sitting, food and litter, vet care and now rehoming.

Damien and Maiden, his dog brother and sister are still in need of a forever home together. For more information about them, please follow this link to our post about them.

We've had several people ask if we'll be selling our holiday cards this year. Unfortunately, with all that I've had going on these past few months, I did not have time to work on this year's holiday card fundraiser. It's our largest source of fundraising for the year, but there are times when family comes first.

NASHVILLE, TN - 💔 OWNER PASSED AWAY 💔

Damien and Maiden are in need of a new forever home. They were being fostered separately while their dad was in the hospital. Sadly, he passed away, leaving them in need of a new forever home. We've moved them to a new foster home where they can be together. After seeing how excited they are to be reunited, we REALLY want to find them a forever home where they can stay together. They are seniors at ages 10 and 14, however they received a clean bill of health at their vet appointment in June when they had complete senior workups done. They also both had dentals this past July, so there are no expected huge vet expenses in their future. Maiden does have arthritis in her left knee, but with affordable pain medication and joint supplement, she does not let it slow her down.

The best home for them would be a calm, quiet environment with no small children and no other dogs. They've lived with a cat brother, so they would be perfectly fine with a dog-friendly cat. They both are still active and playful, enjoy easy walks and cuddling with their humans.

If anyone is interested in offering these two a loving forever home together, please email [email protected]. We are only willing to adopt them out locally in Middle Tennessee and would only consider an out of state adoption if it's someone we know personally.

Please share and help us find these babies a new home for Christmas! ❤️❤️

07/11/2021

UPDATE (Nov 9): I have a new foster secured for Maiden and Damien together. So, it's not as urgent now to find them forever homes by this weekend. I've had a few inquiries from people far away. I really prefer to keep them local so that if it doesn't work out, I can easily get them back. I made a promise to their dad that I would make sure they are cared for and will do everything in my power to make sure I keep my promise. I will only consider a long distance adoption if it is someone I personally know and trust. If anyone in the Middle Tennessee area is interested in offering either (or both) of them a forever home, please email [email protected]! Thank you!

NASHVILLE, TN - PLEASE SHARE! I can't believe I haven't gotten a single inquiry for this sweet girl 😢 Seriously, she's an awesome dog! MAIDEN is only 10 and still has several good years of love and loyalty to give. She laid for 5hrs with her dad and was so protective over him that she wouldn't let the EMTs work on him, so his neighbor had to put her in the backyard. Sadly, that was the last time she saw him and now he's passed away and is never coming home. 💔😭 She has been through so much already and now she is losing her foster home in a week.

She has lived her whole life with a very passively submissive dog brother and cat brother, so she can either be an only pet or with a dog-friendly cat and/or a submissive dog that won't mind her stealing a treat or food from him or gruffing at him if he gets too close to her person. Once she bonds with you, you are hers! She has never been around children, so she needs a home without small children. She is a very fun and quirky dog, weighing approximately 40lbs, was at the vet in June and received all of her shots, tested negative for heartworm and had a dental. She does have arthritis in her knee which is managed with affordable pain meds and supplements and a short walk or two every day. She truly is a very low maintenance dog and would love to just lay at your feet while you watch TV or work from home. She is used to staying home alone, too. So, if you work outside of the home, she's perfectly content to hang out and wait for your return. She doesn't even need to be crated, because she is a calm and good girl.

If you are interested in fostering or adopting Maiden, please email [email protected]. There is NO ADOPTION FEE, but I do have a very thorough application process to ensure that it's a great fit for both the dog and the adopter. I prefer to adopt locally, but will consider non-local if it's someone I know and trust.

We only have ONE MORE WEEK to find her a new foster or forever home, so please share and share often!!!

Their foster program offers pets a safe place while their human is temporarily unable to care of them, whether it be during a hospital stay, escaping a domestic violence situation or a housing transition.

NASHVILLE, TN - ‼️URGENT‼️ TEMP FOSTER needed for senior kitty Rere (pronounced Ree-Ree) while his owner is in the hospital.

Rere is 17 years old, so very low key and easy going. He is a lap kitty and would love to cuddle all day long, if you're able 😻 He was at the vet in July for a full senior workup and received a clean bill of health. He's never been around children or other cats, but lives with two dogs, so his ideal foster home would be quiet and have no other pets, or cat-friendly dogs and must be an indoor only cat!

All expenses will be covered, including food, litter, vetting, etc. The only thing you'd have to provide is a loving home. We've had several offers, but no one has followed through with submitting the foster application. They are currently home alone being cared for by neighbors, so we would like to find him a foster sooner than later.

If you are interested in fostering Rere, please email [email protected] or send us a private message.

AND PLEASE SHARE!!! Thank you!!!

URGENT!!! We are BEGGING! GROVELING, even! Please take a moment to hit the share button on this post and help us find Maiden a foster!

MAIDEN needs a TEMPORARY FOSTER in the Nashville area while her dad is in the hospital. She's so sad and confused! She is so loyal to her person that she laid by his side Saturday until paramedics came. Then, she was doing her job of protecting her daddy and keeping them from him until a neighbor had to put her outside in the yard while they took him away in the ambulance. Then, her dog brother left yesterday for a temporary foster home. So, she and her cat brother Rere are alone in the house being cared for by neighbors. Rere has had foster offers, but no one has offered to foster this sweet girl! We really do not want to leave her completely alone in the house, so are desperate to find her a foster as well. 😢

She is 10yrs old and VERY sweet! With all that she has been through, and being a senior, she would do best in a quiet home without children. She has a bad leg, so would prefer that she doesn't have to do a lot of stairs. She is on daily pain medication and joint supplements, which will be provided. She greatly enjoys her walks, and does great with short ones so that she doesn't get too lame. All expenses will be covered, including food! She just needs a safe, loving home until her Dad can get better!

If anyone is interested in fostering Maiden, please email [email protected]!

I love this girl so much and would have just brought her home to stay with me, but I have two dominant female dogs who would not accept her. So, please share and help us get her taken care of ❤️

Thank you!

NASHVILLE, TN - URGENT NEED FOR TEMPORARY FOSTER(S) for these three senior babies!

Their owner has been in the hospital since March of this year. We have been helping take care of them, vetting, food and pet sitting so that they could stay in their home. Unfortunately, their owner has had a setback in his recovery and they REALLY need to be in a home where they can get more attention than they are currently getting. We are not looking to rehome them permanently at this point. Just a temporary foster who can care for them while their owner recovers and can resume caring for them himself. All expenses will be covered, so all the foster has to provide is a loving home.

All three have been to the vet this summer for vaccinations, deworming and complete senior work ups. Both dogs had dentals. All three received a clean bill of health!

Rere (pronounced Ree-Ree), the cat is a young 17ish years old and extremely loving.

Maiden (cream chow mix) is 10 yrs old. She has a limp from an old injury, so prefer her to be in a home without stairs. She is on Rimadyl for pain management and does very well as long as she gets her meds and short walks.

Damien (brown terrier mix) is 14yrs young. He LOVES his walks and is still very playful, but would prefer cuddles. 😊

As much as we'd love to keep them together, we can separate them if necessary. We do not know how they would do with children as they've never been around them. Due to their age and everything they have been through this past year, they'd do best in a quiet home. If you or anyone you know would be interested in giving these sweet babies a safe, quiet place to hang out while their daddy is in the hospital, please email me at [email protected].

PLEASE SHARE!!!! Thank you!
