Mission Statement
Metro Animal Care and Control is committed to the delivery of humane and responsive animal care and control services to and for the residents and animals of Nashville-Davidson County. We work with individuals and organizations across Nashville to help domestic animals find caring homes, decrease over-population of cats and dogs through spaying and neutering, support widespread rabies vaccinations, and promote responsible pet ownership.
Description
Metro Animal Care and Control is the only taxpayer-funded, open-admission shelter in Davidson County that serves over 7,000 lost, stray, sick, injured, and relinquished animals each year. MACC’s doors are open to all animals in need, regardless of species, breed, age, medical, or behavioral condition. To reduce the number of homeless pets, we ensure that all dogs and cats are spayed or neutered prior to adoption and perform nearly 2,500 surgeries each year. MACC fulfills its mission with the extraordinary efforts and compassion of 35 staff, 200 volunteers, and thousands of supportive citizens.
