Cinder, Ashley and Misty are going on 7 weeks old and are such sweet little babies. From little hissy devils to cuddly angels, they have come a long way in the last few weeks. They will be going to their permanent foster after the Holiday and will remain there until fully vetted and on to their fur-ever families.

24/11/2024

We recently had an adoption day and our sweet Jax found his fur-ever home! We are incredibly blessed to be a partner with PetSmart and absolutely love this store and it's Associates who have welcomed us warmly and, like Jax, opened their heart and homes to several of our babies. From an uncertain beginning to a loving home, we wish Jax the best life!❤️

THE MOST UNCONDITIONAL LOVE YOU WILL EVER EXPERIENCE IS WAITING FOR YOU!!
PSA on adopting a pet during the holidays. YES! You have heard some of this before but, this little bit of advice is good during the holidays as well as ANY time you adopt a new family member.
When we adopt a new family member, we all have expectations of how life is going to be with that new baby. We are going to spoil it rotten. It is just going to love and adore us and get along with everyone and it will be such a joyous event. There are many times that is just the case. Everyone settles in quickly and it is as if you have been together forever. But the reality is that your new pet is "A NEW Family Member" and just like any new "human" coming into your home that has only met you, at the most, a couple of times, there is a time of adjustment. THINGS TO REMEMBER...
1. The 3-3-3 RULE: In general, a new pet will take 3 days just to adjust to their new surroundings.
* Who are these people and will they be kind to me and love me?
* Where is the door to go outside?
* When and where do I eat and what do I eat?
* Where will I sleep and will I be alone?
It will take 3 weeks to begin to socialize and bond with their new family.
It will take possibly another 3 months to begin to become a full member of the family.
2. Ask ANYONE in animal rescue and they will tell you that animals - just like humans - have memories and feelings. They recognize when someone is anxious or upset and they will feed off of that.
It is so important to remain calm and gentle but consistent and forgiving of them. Just as you would a child learning to potty train or going to school for the first time.
3. Rescued animals would have NO chance at survival if it were not for caring hearts and loving homes that do not always expect immediate perfection but are willing to wait and give that new relationship time to grow and take root and become the strongest, most unconditional love you will ever experience.
We wish EVERY animal could have a home for the holidays. If you decide to adopt, please keep these things in mind. You and your new family member will be glad you did!!

VISIT THE BARKERY AT JULIA'S HOMESTYLE BAKERY IN MURFREESBORO FOR THESE YUMMY MEALS!!

HAPPY ADOPTION DAY!! We are so excited to say that the last two puppies from our "Hamilton" puppy gang has been adopted. Peggy and Alexander found their forever homes this past weekend at PetSmart in Smyrna, TN.
Little Peggy, who has only known her siblings and lots of foster friends, is understandably taking a bit to adjust to her new home. She loves all the attention she is getting but is a little unsure. Gonna take a little while to adjust to being an only dog - but she has her own boy that loves her very much and a family that is willing to hang in there as long as it takes. She's a lucky girl!!
Alexander was adopted by one of the wonderful employees at PetSmart and he was bouncing around the store picking out toys and a new harness and leash.
It's good to remember that every dog is different just like every human is different. They all need safety and love - it just takes some a little longer to feel that and adjust than others. Take it slow and give them time to become part of your family. You will ALL be so glad you did.
HAPPY LIFE LITTLE ONES!!

ON OUR WAY TO PETSMART! This weekend please join Music City Animal Rescue at PetSmart. Located off Sam Ridley in Smyrna, TN (807 Industrial Blvd, Smyrna, TN) we will be there from 1pm until 4pm with our adorable adoptables (cats and dogs)!
We will also have some really cute items for sell (custom, one-of-a-kind stockings for cats and dogs as well as 3D printed critters). These items were all done by volunteers with our rescue and 100% of the proceeds benefit the animals of MCAR to help us provide spay/neuter services to the animals in our program.
ASK US ABOUT OUR "Thankful for a Home" promotion where all of our adoption fees have been reduced for this Thanksgiving season.
Stop by and enjoy some puppy love and kitten cuddles and maybe pickup a Christmas gift or two!
SEE YOU SATURDAY - 1pm - 4pm at PETSMART!!

ADOPT A SENIOR PET - Their love is Golden!
November is Adopt A Senior Pet Month and at the Music City Animal Rescue we have a special place in our hearts for those frosty faced angels.
The biggest misconception of a senior pet is that they have been abandoned due to health or behavior issues and this is simply not the case. Many sad experiences could have come their way such as the loss of their beloved owner due to illness. Possibly their family has grown and needed to move to a non-pet-friendly home.
These babies have spent their lives loving and learning from their family and they want nothing more than to continue to be loved and wanted.
Music City Animal Rescue has a special program just for these wonderful animals called the Golden Guardian Program. Whether golden in years or golden in heart, MCAR makes it our mission to help those babies that find themselves suddenly without a family - that may need a little extra time and attention to transition from a traumatic experience into a new loving home.
To find out more about our Golden Guardian Program and how you can help or become a foster/adopter visit: https://www.musiccityanimalrescue.com/goldenguardians

These sweet little trio, are identical in color and markings; 2 girls, Cinder and Misty and one boy Ash, are just a few weeks old and were born into our Reacue from a feral momma kitty we named Skylar. Once the kittens are weaned we will have her vetted and hopefully find a barn situation for her. ❤️

RANT: THE HUNDREDS OF ANIMALS WE PLACE EACH YEAR MAY BE A DROP IN THE BUCKET COMPARED TO OTHER RESCUES - But we keep on - for them - despite disappointments like this!

You may remember back in August the Greater Good - Clear the Shelters Program that we were a part of. Music City Animal Rescue hosted four (4) events promoting it including the Nashville Home Show. We were on television promoting it. We did an Instagram Total Takeover for a day and posted many videos etc...about the event and our desperate need for donations and foster homes to not only help with our regular intake but also help with our Golden Guardian Program. It was A LOT of work but whenever we can talk about our babies and promote MCAR, we are happy to do it.
Well, today we received our report from the Greater Good Foundation on how we did. The report is attached.

I just have to say, this is heartbreaking, especially for me, as the Director. I know how hard my volunteers worked (not just for these events) but how hard they all work each and every day.
I know how very very very desperately we need donations (physical and monetary).
The hundreds of animals that we place each year may be a drop in the bucket compared to the larger rescues/shelters in town but for those few, it was LIFE SAVING!

During the ONE month long campaign - MCAR stats were:
INTAKE: 10 dogs including 5 puppies
2 kittens, plus 2 moms with 4-5 kittens each
ALREADY IN THE PROGRAM: 8 Dogs
24 cats/kittens
FOSPICE CARE: 3 dogs - 7 cats
MEDICAL BILLS (including regular vetting, sick/injured animals):
in excess of $3,200.00
This does not include food and supplies

I WANT TO TAKE THIS TIME TO THANK THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE:
My current foster homes and volunteers (simply not enough words)
Everyone who continues to donate and support MCAR (those that donate on a monthly basis "God Bless You") We are just so grateful!

We want to continue to help the community and be a part of the solution for the uncontrollable numbers of abandoned, abused and neglected animals but if we are not able to get more support from the community, I fear MCAR will not be able to survive. We desperately need your help!!
Please read - donate - share! THERE ARE LITTLE HEARTS and LIVES DEPENDING ON IT!!

I JUST CAN'T!!!!😻😻😻😻😻😻😻😻
How incredibly adorable is this handsome fella!
This is our Jax, born 4/20/24; one of seven siblings. This guy has the saddest face I've seen on a puddy cat, but just look at that purrfectly pink nose! He is already a big boy and judging by his paws is gonna get a tad bigger before it's all said and done. He is such a sweet boy; loves to cuddle and especially likes the belly rubs.
Jax us completely vetted and microchipped. He is currently residing at the Kitty Condo at Petco in Antioch. If you are interested in meeting Jax and possibly adding him to your family, you can stop by Petco anytime they are open!

It's been a rough year for us all in Rescue and it doesn't look like it's going to end anytime soon. We received an urgent call from MACC wanting to know if we would take a mother and her 4 babies. We always want to help when we get the call, especially when they are knee deep in a hoarding situation and really need the space so we scrambled and made it happen. This sweet girl and her 4 babies are headed to their new foster mom today. Thanks Lorie for always stepping up!💜 More updates to come!

Little Teddy enjoyed all the attention he got at our Wine Wags and Whiskers event. He's 10 weeks old and so precious. He'll be ready for his family as soon as he's neutered. Follow our Facebook pg to know when he's available!!

Love is................

Please come out and support Music City Animal Rescue at Well Body Pilates in Hendersonville on June 29th! You name your sign up donation and get to spend an hour with some of the cutest kittens in Nashville....all looking for their forever homes!! For more information visit www.musiccityanimalrescue.com

Music City Animal Rescue is so excited to be a part of this fun day! We want to give a BIG Thank You to Brad Hopkins of Hopkins Apothecary in Camden for your support! They will be providing a gift basket for raffle at our booth on the 15th! Stop by and bring your furry friends. Not only can they get microchipped, but we will have goodies for the whole family! See You There!!

IT TOOK A VILLAGE!! It's a common saying but very true in little Gabby's situation. Gabby was found on the side of the road by a young lady who was not able to keep her. She took her to the vet to see if she was microchipped - she was not. This young lady reached out to one of our rescue volunteers and asked if she could take her. She was so tiny at the time, the volunteer agreed but could only keep her for a week or so as she was leaving town. Sweet little Gabby made her way shortly after to one of our adoption days and our puppy foster couldn't resist scooping her up (as you can see in the video). Gabby is fully vetted now and ready for a home of her very own. She is a precious 14 week old puppy with the most beautiful silky black fur and such a loving personality. She gets along with dogs, cats and especially people and kids! Check out Gabby's full profile on Petfinder or visit www.Musiccityanimalrescue.com to complete an application. We think you will fall in love with Gabby just like we have!! https://www.petfinder.com/dog/gabby-71835114/tn/nashville/music-city-animal-rescue-tn794/
