Right now, they do a lot to rescue animals and educate individuals on "fixing" their pets. They also do a lot in giving a voice to animals when it comes to legislation about animal cruelty. Once they get the proper funding to setup their adoption center/ sanctuary, they will be able to grow further as an organization meaning they can rescue more animals- parter with Animal Rescue Corps and the Humane Society of the United States with hoarding or puppy mills cases and do even more with other things like maybe having a spay/neuter clinic. Big things are on the horizon for this nonprofit! I haven't done much with animal rescue through them, but I've helped with fundraising in the hope that they can set up their sanctuary soon! Big dreams :) upcoming events: Oct 5, 2013- Dogstravaganza at 2605 Winford Avenue Nashville, TN 37211 Oct 12, 2013- Barktoberfest at 1973 New Hwy 96 West Franklin, TN 37064

The puppy was found injured, and the organization does an incredible job making sure dogs get the proper care from veteranians and caretakers alike. They scheduled a surgery for our foster dog within the month, and gave us detailed instructions on how to take care of him post operation. The organization is guided by animal behaviorists who offer numerous Zoom session classes on how to train dogs of any age. To get dogs adopted, Agape takes great care making sure dogs are matched across several categories to adoring homes. Everything this organization does is thorough and thoughtful, ensuring dogs are properly cared for. If you're hoping to adopt a dog or help foster one, this is an excellent organization to work with!

This organization is pretty big and they have need for volunteers, fosters, interns (can do for college credit), employees, adopters, and donations. This month, they helped Animal Rescue Corps with Operation unbridled Spirit and saved a bunch of puppy mills dogs! Help them out! They make fostering really a great experience and are looking for year-round fosters, temporary/ short term fosters (for long term fosters who go on vacation, etc), and emergency fosters for cases of hoarding or puppy mill closures. They also do a bunch of events to fundraise like the upcoming Agape Animal Ball on October 19th!

Grace has been a godsend for us and our dog. We adopted a rescue that has severe resource guarding…read moreissues and had not been socialized with people nor dogs. He's a unique dog, and for a while we weren't sure we would ever find someone who could effectively and safely handle him, but Grace was able to not only speak his language - but also safely integrate him into walks with other dogs and help muzzle train him. She quickly became his favorite person and was one of the only people he trusted. Grace went beyond the walks and basic training and would sometimes ask if she could take him overnight to get him used to being around different dogs (hers) and people. He always loves these sleepover and has learned to better read other dogs and communicate as a result. Our boy has come a long way, and we owe so much of that to Grace and Lucky Dog!

Great big fenced areas to play in, and best of all communal sleeping on furniture! She felt right at home. Highly recommend this place.

Eva's Eden is a wonderful mobile cat rescue in Nashville! What makes them different exactly? Well,…read morefor one they are mobile. They operate with a network of volunteers who foster the adoptable cats during the week, then on the weekend they are brought to the mobile adoption center for people to come visit, love and hopefully adopt! They did a great job outfitting the mobile adoption center. It has a beautiful cat tree in the center. I heard one of their volunteers is an artist and made it specifically for Eva's Eden. There is seating around the big picture windows and toys to engage with the cats. It's not super big, so I wouldn't go with a big group. (not that there are big roaming gangs visiting cat adoptions, but you get the idea...) They pride themselves on being a no cage shelter and you can tell that the cats are really well adjusted & socialized because they are living in foster homes during the week instead of in a cage. Not only was it delightful to spend my afternoon playing with a room full of cats, but the owner and volunteers are all so warm and inviting. I've been to some shelters where I feel like I'm being sized up & judged as to whether or not I will be a fit pet parent - but here I felt like I was among friends. Everyone was extremely knowledgeable about cat care, behavior, feeding, vet visits etc. Whether this is your first cat, or you are a cat pro - they have a great vibe and are a great organization to adopt from. The timing didn't work out for us to get our 2nd kitty from them because we are moving, but I would absolutely seek them out when the time is right! Check their website for descriptions of cats available or to learn where their mobile center will be next. I haven't seen their adoptable cats on petfinder or other websites, so you'll have to go to their own website or call if you want to check on a specific gender/age availability before you go. And don't forget - adopting a pet isn't a 'for now' decision - adoption is forever!
